That's the point! :D

do you want a competitive MW, or a Not-So competitive HW?!!?

Scorpion · « **Reply #22 on:** October 24, 2010, 03:28:25 PM »

ALWAYS build as close as possible to the weightlimit of whatever weightclass your trying to make
Also, e#teks are not very usefull, too big compared to other DSL motors if you ask me. Like bubbleman said, mags are probably your best bet.
What are the wedges attached to BTW?

Bubbleman · « **Reply #23 on:** October 24, 2010, 03:29:21 PM »

The wedges are attached to metal hinges.

Aaaah, that's ok then, my eyes are shot, I should probably get some glasses.

Enigm@ · « **Reply #25 on:** October 24, 2010, 03:32:45 PM »

Even better? It has 10 MM of plastic bit I might take it back down to 5.

Slimbodies are drive motors, so don't use them. Like people have said, use TWMR3's for the weapons, and try to make the chassis a bit smaller. Also, I can't see what the upside-down Baseplate Anchors at the front are doing, so remove them. And reduce the armour, Plastic 10 is very much overkill on a bot like this one.

[offtopic]@scorpion: don't get glasses! they just deteriorate your eyesight even more! just zoom in with your web browser.[/offtopic]

@Enigma: YOU USED SLIMBODIES!!! srink the chassis even more, replace the baseplate anchors with metal hinges and replace the SLIMBODIES with TWM3Rs. use the chassis slider glitch to srink the chassis if you have to.

EDIT:GRAH DANM NFX YOU'RE FAST!

^that^
Aaaaaaaand.
BUILD TO THE WEIGHT LIMIT!
You can easily make that thing a middleweight by downgrading the armour.
Remember the limits of each weightclass.

[Offtopic I have bad vision fullstop, then again, it just could be my brain working too hard on everything else that it sometimes forget to fully process what i'm looking at

Okay.
Huff

Here we go
Your bot could have a much smaller chassis. A large front and a small back could work, just stick NPCs at the back with grannies.
Then you could, as bubbleman says, give it TWMR3 powered weapons. You could also have a stronger weapon choice, I would suggest beater bars, as those weapons are the first thing a rammer or HS is going to hit.
Next you want some two metal hinge wedges mounted at the edges of your chassis, probably with 80 cm angled sheets.
Also, if you use TWMR3 motors your chassis won't have to be very tall. Then you could use Vlads, which are slightly better than Grannies on the whole.
Hopefully you might get a decent MW out of that.

^^What he said^^

@Enigma if you send me the bot outline i will show what it should (roughly) look like.

Enigm@ · « **Reply #31 on:** October 24, 2010, 03:40:08 PM »

OK, thanks TO DSL!!!!!

Enigm@ · « **Reply #32 on:** October 24, 2010, 03:54:24 PM »

EVEN MORE better!?

NFX · « **Reply #33 on:** October 24, 2010, 03:56:52 PM »

Make the chassis smaller. You could easily chop the 9.5kg from the chassis.

Bubbleman · « **Reply #34 on:** October 24, 2010, 03:57:31 PM »

why yes, yes it is ^_^
Emptey space, srink the front bit of the chassis, replace the anchors woth metal hinges, you could add another FS with the weight gained, and change back to razors. you're getting better ^_^!

EDIT: DANM NFX YOU ARE FAST TODAY!!!!!

Scorpion · « **Reply #35 on:** October 24, 2010, 03:59:50 PM »

Grrrr, you see that little bit below the bot, that ssays what the weight of the bot is and what weight class is in.
Now if you look carefully you'll see that it says "heavyweight" meaning that it is too big to be a middleweight.
You've also got a lot of empty space there, try shrinking the chasis down, use a bit of trial and error to get it as tight as possible.
Also, it'd help if you posted what armour your using.

Enigm@ · « **Reply #36 on:** October 24, 2010, 04:15:08 PM »

EVEN MOAR BETTER!!!??!!!

Enigm@ · « **Reply #37 on:** October 24, 2010, 04:20:21 PM »

It's armour is 5 MM of plastic.

Scorpion · « **Reply #38 on:** October 24, 2010, 04:20:54 PM »

Well, atleast you made it a middleweight this time.
Redesign the chasis though, you will have to put everything back on your bot yes, but it does save potentially a lot of weight and improves your bots a lot.
You should also get rid of the dsl bars and use the sheets again.
Also, I don't think it was good advice to get rid of the razors for the beater bars, i'd change them back if I were you.

Are you using the cheatbot2 control board?
