Lemme try again...

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #142 on:** May 06, 2012, 06:50:53 PM »

3rd try's a charm!?

EDIT: Yes!

Do you think 4 ants is underpowered?

Mr. AS · « **Reply #144 on:** May 06, 2012, 07:17:21 PM »

bsg's are approx 2 ants or 1 battlepack, and spin motors are 1 ant so it's probably underpowered, you could try rotating the npcs 180 degrees and putting them halfway out of the chassis, and reduce the chassis and see if you have enough weight for more batts

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #145 on:** May 06, 2012, 07:21:50 PM »

I just made the wedge Poly too. I now have 5 ants.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #146 on:** May 06, 2012, 07:28:45 PM »

did you reduce the chassis ?

powerrave · « **Reply #147 on:** May 07, 2012, 10:29:21 AM »

5 ants? That needs 7 at least. BSG needs 2.5 ant bat. That plus the usual 1 ant per spin motor = a requirement of 7 on this bot.

Not 7 at least, but exactly seven ant batts. Nothing less, nothing more.

Seriously though WinRAR is bad, I'd use 7zip if I were you.

What does that have to do with my showcase?

Anyway, First DSL VS!

I am quite pleased with it.

Titanium 1
TMW3R
Armoured Disk
6 Irons
8 Ants I think.

most vs dont need wedges, get rid of it, and those t- wheels are pretty bad, swap them out for grannies, and 8 batts is overkill, i'd recommend 5

NFX · « **Reply #152 on:** May 07, 2012, 05:06:27 PM »

Snowplows tend not to work as stabilisers. Obvious Pneudonym showed that in RoboLeague. Get rid of them, get rid of the wedge on the front, and add some angled skirts (preferably 80cm at this weight) to stabilise it. Also swap the wheels (Vlads, maybe), swap the Baseplate Anchor for an ME (lighter and smaller), and make sure the weapons don't go through anything. They're slicing the control board in half right now.

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #153 on:** May 07, 2012, 05:08:38 PM »

What do you mean with the Angled Skirts. Replace them for the snowplows?

yeah I think he means to swap the snowploughs for them
p.s don't forget to send your bots to df for our challenge

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #155 on:** May 07, 2012, 05:15:32 PM »

I already have.

And this sure isn't one of them!

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #156 on:** May 07, 2012, 05:24:56 PM »

I was using the Snowplows as traps. I think they were used in 123AI. (I have know clue what I'm doing) And if I replace the plows with angled skirts won't that make it easier to break the trap arms?

Also, if I use the ME it will make the spinner go straight up.

No. Know is for knowing things, as in knowlegde. No is a negative response, the opposite of yes. [/grammarnazi]

You can use flipper segments to angle it with an ME, and how many batteries does this have? It only needs 3.

Apart from that, good bot.

Are you sure? I have 5 ants right now and 1 minuete

into the match the power bar is past the little line

Badger · « **Reply #159 on:** May 07, 2012, 05:46:09 PM »

3 spins = 3 ants.
