[El Chickenado]

First of all, instead of attaching images to your post, upload them using GTM's image host:

From what I can see it doesn't look bad, but why tracks? Since you aren't using the 60kg extra weight they come with, you could easily use technos or overkills and be faster, which is what you need as a flipper bot.

[El Chickenado]

thanks for the image host
i went with tracks to provide some pushing power as a backup weapon if the sheets fall off
it might seem ineffective but it alows me to get under skirts on most robots (which according to the battlebots page apparently are common) it dominates most skirts and allows for pushing around the opponent easily. it was thought out to use wheels but tracks are good for these reasons. also tracks are rarely used but are very effective on wedges out of my testing. also the sheet at the front is a skirt so i can get under and push.
P.S. how do i download the advertisements listed on the page as in where do they go in the folder?

If you're talking about Sponsor Decals they belong in the texture library, either in the folder itself or in a folder within that folder I forgot.

Anyways, yea. You're gonna want to make use of that extra 60KG's.

Also, is that skirt hinge on the back lifted up one notch? If it isn't, it won't be accepted.

Besides that... okay I guess? I would've gone with wheels to be faster, but if what you're saying is true then okay. It's probably gonna get dominated if a flipper or wedged bot get's it's sides or back but okay.

[Badnik96]

Advertisements?

You shouldnt need to download anything. Just choose the picture you want to upload on the site, copy/paste the first link with the img tags, and put it in your post.

i was talking about the decals

any advice on how to better protect the sides and back?

If I'm not mistaken, you can add shell panels onto the threads, just like Triclops has, then add spikes onto it. Or another shell panel as a wedge of sorts.

[Badnik96]

You really shouldnt need back protection, BB9 is a 1v1 tournament and all robots once AI'ed attack the front of your robot.

[El Chickenado]

i changed the flipper to be more effective for immobilizing
tried out the side paneling did'nt work i put cutting teeth on it which helps to win by damage.

[El Chickenado]

okay here is the new and advertised lambchop

it is titanium five, uses e-tec drive motors so it is faster and has teeth on the sides to allow for protection from the sides

and here is my light weight i am planning to enter lil wheely ,i am going for the sort of unintimidating name thing that sunshine lollibot had.


it only has plastic 5 so it is weak but it can self right and already includes advertising

any improvements that could be made to either?
*edit: found out how to work the pictures

[Badnik96]

I'd advise larger teeth and less armor for your LW.

[El Chickenado]

what armor should i go for it has plastic 5 already?
also what teeth are recommended?
also any advice on lambchop?

[Badnik96]

plastic 5 is way overkill. I'd go for maybe plastic 3 and the largest beater bars you can afford with the weight.

[090901]

plastic 5 is way overkill. I'd go for maybe plastic 3 and the largest beater bars you can afford with the weight.

I disagree.
If he really needs to save weight he can just get rid of that weird srimech thing he has going on since pretty much all VS can self-right using their weapon

[Badnik96]

Man I didnt even see the bsg sticking out there. Crop your pics dude, we know what the bot lab looks like.

[helloface]

I'm loving that treaded robot.

the self righting arm is necessary on the lw it cannot self right otherwise sadly

I'm loving that treaded robot.

i like it too but need to take advantage of the extra weight it can have
oh well

some improvements are the new added ripping tooth for stopping full body and horizontal spinners in an attempt to better flip them, an extra segment on the back to help self right and a new paint job with less ads ( i did'nt want to use all of them)

[SKBT]

okay here is the new and advertised lambchop

this is not robot related but you have some epic spyware on your computer. that "backup service" does not backup anything. basically reads sh** off your hardrive and sends it to a server that is sniffing for logins/credit info. it also disables firewalls and other fun stuff that keeps your computer safe.

DO NOT PUT A CREDIT CARD IN IT. AND IF IT ALREADY HAPPENED LOOK FOR SUSPICIOUS CHARGES

download and run malwarebytes https://www.malwarebytes.org/

and after malwarebytes run adw cleaner http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/

2000's kid... whatever floats your boat.

The thing with VS is that they should (in most cases) be able to selfright with the recoil of their weapon when it hits the ground, like 090901 is saying. Maybe if you made your bot wider and shorter, maybe upgrade the weapon motor, and turn the teeth around so they can pick up the opposing robot.

Lambchop looks decent. It won't be accepted unless you have a skirt hinge wedge thats 1 or more "notches" high.

lambchop follows this rule so much so i did a compete redesign at one point to allow it
also 200's kid you added one too many zeros
anyway progress had been made in a mcgeiver attempt to make lil wheely better

it can now self right without the bsg which has been removed i changed to hypno wheels for better maneuvaribility and made the disc larger
i also built a rammer named springer because of how the skirt behaves with the wedges

it will not be in a tournament but i wanted to test out wedges on skirt hinges
