These big wheels are not only not fitting the bot at all, they're not helping.

Also 2 BSGs for a normal speed MW flipper is not enough.

I imagine you could shorten the chassis a bit and just put the batteries on top of each other to free up some weight for JX's. Maybe Hypno wheels would help too. Not so bad though :)

Thanks.

Still very much recommend the other suggestions people said :P (Use the left/right NPCs to make Hypno wheels hit the ground, also)

Change to Hypnos and you've got yourself a pretty decent flipper right there.

Definitely an improvement.

Great. Can't really think of anything to improve this.

note: if you rotate the NPC's 180 degrees, you can have them sticking 1/2-way out of the chassis and therefore have a smaller chassis

Only thing that could help (but requires total rebuild) is shorter chassis. Could get you better armour.
And yes, it can be made shorter still as Awesumsauce said.

Guys we all know this is a vast improvement but it is by no means good. The standard for a MW flipper is surely 4 BSGs with that drive setup.

Yeah, you don't need an angled chassis, the flippers create the "wedge" shape instead. This can save a lot of weight.

Or Trov glitch to save even more :P (Nah, that would be taking it too fast)

Looking pretty good. Chassis could still stand to be tightened up a fair amount. A little trick you can use to save a little chassis weight is to mount the NPC's hanging out of the back. They can pass straight through the walls of the chassis, and that can save you a good few kg. Since they're mounted to the baseplate, they're invincible, so they can't fall off. And it prevents opponents from hitting the chassis should they get around the back. Take a look at Puncture to see what I'm on about. =)

Just for future reference;

Spin motor: 1 ant battery
BSG Burst: 2.5 ant batteries
Small JX: 5 ant batteries
Large JX: 7 ant batteries
Beta Burst: 21 Ant batteries

Pretty decent. Needs less empty space, unless you're using one of the better armors.

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #56 on:** April 22, 2012, 10:36:41 AM »

I think I'll save the rebuild for another day. I'm thinking about venturing out from flippers. What type of bot should i build next

Mr. AS · « **Reply #57 on:** April 22, 2012, 10:38:28 AM »

hs + sns hybrid

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #58 on:** April 22, 2012, 10:40:19 AM »

Any tips on how to build one of those. I've never strayed from flippers before

martymidget · « **Reply #59 on:** April 22, 2012, 10:43:10 AM »

Lurk in Somebody's showcase, you'll find SnSnSnSnSnS in there, which will be a good place to start learning from.
