you can make it smaller.

Less width and put the batteries on top of each other.

Less width = the chassis won't work. That's the minimum width for it.
Less length = impossible. That's the shortest it can go.

minimum width? pfft

where the motors are you can shrink down.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #163 on:** December 29, 2011, 07:43:25 AM »

You really can widen the central gap at least...

Gazea2 · « **Reply #164 on:** December 29, 2011, 07:48:34 AM »

Ok, I've managed to get the chassis down to 3kgs with plastic 1.

3kg? Do show me.

Yay for chassis trimming.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #167 on:** December 29, 2011, 10:27:08 AM »

I had to make the chassis ever so slightly bigger to make everything fit. The chassis, with plastic 1, now weighs ~3.8 kgs. This bot has plastic 3, rubber wheels and 6 razors.

not that bad

Gazea2 · « **Reply #169 on:** January 06, 2012, 10:55:54 AM »

Hooray.

Semi-realistic. Tite 5 (tooooo much weight), ok wedges and... yeah. The piglets are protected quite well.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #170 on:** January 06, 2012, 10:57:27 AM »

Titanium skirt wedges, and more weapons.

martymidget · « **Reply #171 on:** January 06, 2012, 10:57:49 AM »

That skirt hinge looks like its being chopped up :P

And NPCs would be so much better.

ty4er · « **Reply #172 on:** January 06, 2012, 11:00:04 AM »

oh what is that

swap the disk for a halfplate or 2 and get better drive (npc's)

and upgrade the skirts to titanium and if you still have stuff left over get one in the middle

NFX · « **Reply #173 on:** January 06, 2012, 11:02:41 AM »

I'd personally drop the armour, and upgrade the drive and wedges, as people have said. I'd also have the weapons spinning the other way, they're going to bite down onto the opponent, rather than kick them up into the air so you can get under them and score more points.

Naryar · « **Reply #174 on:** January 06, 2012, 11:08:18 AM »

Remove middle razors, use them to strengthen the beaters or change your DS teeth to razors.

Also needs NPC Fast drive.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #175 on:** January 06, 2012, 11:39:05 AM »

Update. It's actually VERY good, now. I'm really surprised at how well it does.

ty4er · « **Reply #176 on:** January 06, 2012, 11:44:07 AM »

dat extender work

Atleast put on some halfsheets, i can see the disk falling off or ruining the wedge or something bad :P

And it means less weak extenders

MassimoV · « **Reply #177 on:** January 06, 2012, 04:11:42 PM »

Looks cool. But I definitely would trim down the extender work.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #178 on:** January 07, 2012, 10:00:53 AM »

Hooray for much cleaner setups! Tite 5, fully realistic.

ty4er · « **Reply #179 on:** January 07, 2012, 10:31:29 AM »

use the weight to maybe protect the chassis (me + skirt?)

otherwise it's pretty cool :D
