Same setup. Can self right pretty well and the wedge is quite good. NPC normals (I have the weight to upgrade so I may as well), 10 razors, 8 ants, tite 3.

That looks pretty good from what I can see.

Can i see a pic of it from the side?

I feel the poly extenders holding the razors are gonna get hit pretty often :P

Gazea2 · « **Reply #203 on:** January 15, 2012, 01:09:36 PM »

Yeah, I'll post a pic from the side tomorrow. I just realised that it's really un-clear. I'm at my Dad's atm so I can't.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #204 on:** January 17, 2012, 12:08:50 PM »

Need some ideas that'll eat up the rest of the weight.

HW popup with the same setup. I made this a few days ago and can't remember how many razors/ants it has (I think it has 18 ants...ish). Again, I need help eating up the weight. Tite 5 or something like that.

And finally, an IRL fail! It looks reaaaaally bad. NPC drive, perm for the weapons, tite 3... ish. Can anyone give me any tips on how to skin it well?

needs way more armour for the heavyweight. Double wedges for the middleweight would make it stabler and wedgier.

and IS THAT CB STACKED INTO THE ANTS

So steel skirts for the HW and double wedges for the MW?

Nope, although I do admit that it looks like it from this angle. xD

Titanium sheets are the way forward for the HW. It just looks too skinny for me tbh xD

he has the weight D:

Also a 2 me setup might work better.

The HW is far too narrow, any SnS will kill it. Widen it by quite a bit and add some titanium sheets for armour, or even some heavy ploughs if you can mount them in an appropiate way. Also I'd use an Obzen style multiextender setup to mount the weapons.

Yeah, it looks terrible. Was this perhaps intended for BoF2? I'd just find a really cool texture on Google or something, it's what I do for most of my bots.

MassimoV · « **Reply #211 on:** January 17, 2012, 04:12:12 PM »

For the IRL bot, use different wheels and make the extender work less bulky.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #212 on:** January 18, 2012, 10:47:25 AM »

Thanks for the comments. Updated versions of all of them will follow. For now, I'll leave you with this:

3 ants, plastic 3. During testing, the skirts came off a lot so I upgraded them to tite, which I fear is a bit over the top. The weapon is working a treat.

What's your weapon extender work ? Apart from it being a dark component, I can't make much out of it.

ty4er · « **Reply #214 on:** January 18, 2012, 10:49:29 AM »

needs more drive

Maybe a shell panel on the front aswell

I have a feeling it's a hex plate

Correct, it is indeed a hex plate. The drive... well, I thought it might tip over too much. I'll change it.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #216 on:** January 18, 2012, 11:03:04 AM »

More drive?
No Astro+WaW is fine.

Naryar · « **Reply #217 on:** January 18, 2012, 11:15:14 AM »

It's borderline realistic...

The Ounce · « **Reply #218 on:** January 18, 2012, 03:47:21 PM »

You should use the leftover weight on more armor or better wheels.

MassimoV · « **Reply #219 on:** January 18, 2012, 09:55:00 PM »

This thing is getting weirder and weirder. You really need to make your chassis smaller. You can still put the disc on off the back usind a ME and a 20cm extender.
