-6 ants
-Titanium 10
-NPC Fasts

I know it is still underweight, but I can't come up with anything else to add. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It needs more weapons and it seems overpowered. Not a bad idea. Just needs some tweaking.

Try a dual perm for the weapon motor. It might take some tweaking to find the right setup but it's doable.

Try and put your plows in a V-shape setup so it protects more, and you can benefit from the added armor.

I can't believe no one has said the "W" word yet. There's gotta be some way to get metal hinge wedges, maybe attached off those flipper segments. Or you could go the wedgeless route and make it a Craaig style VS.

Also, a Ti halfsheet under the chassis would make it quite resistant to popups.

It's a neat design, kind of a wedgy VS that isn't utterly dependent on its wedge to win fights.

*Honoured that Click recognizes my design*

Sexy though it looks, I think you need a dual perm on there. If you need weight, maybe downgrade the wheels, and take a couple of batteries out - I think you'd need 4 ants at most.

Stronger hammers.

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #48 on:** January 28, 2011, 02:31:57 AM »

None of the other hammers work right. The colision meshes get screwed up as soon as I leave the bot lab, making the weapon unbalanced. Is there a way to fix that?

NFX · « **Reply #49 on:** January 28, 2011, 05:56:48 AM »

Apparently exporting and importing into another slot fixes the AGOD, but I've never been able to make that work myself. I'd also recommend swapping to Technos for another 16kg, losing one ant, and using 70kg hammers and Heavy side plows.

1)enter botlab
2)click on "test robot while simultaneously pressing the pause/break button
3)after the bot is in the test arena press pause/break again
4)go back to the bot lab
5)???????????
6)PROFIT!

Sometimes. When you go back in it's usually screwed up again.

HA, can we see the collision meshes?

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #53 on:** January 28, 2011, 04:38:55 PM »

As you can see, the 70kg hammers' collision meshes will not cooperate. Same thing happens with the 60kg sledge hammers.

NFX · « **Reply #54 on:** January 28, 2011, 04:46:49 PM »

Have you tried the exporting/importing trick?

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #55 on:** January 28, 2011, 04:51:53 PM »

Yes. I have never had this happen before. I've never heard of a non-flail VS AGODing.

My bot Far Cry did... Just start over completely in a different slot in your team and try again, and hope that it doesn't AGOD again. Don't just start over with the same bot file, once AGOD hits it doesn't go away no matter what.

SteveM4 · « **Reply #57 on:** January 28, 2011, 05:16:05 PM »

Happens alot for me with my flippers.

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #58 on:** January 28, 2011, 06:12:27 PM »

Well, that sucks... If that's the case I am done working with it.

Anyway, here is another.

4 ant batteries.
1mm Titanium.
Regular NPCs.

Urjak · « **Reply #59 on:** January 28, 2011, 06:17:46 PM »

Hmmm.... sledges on flails are useless, so mount them statically. Same goes for irons. Also, is it just me or do you have a really convoluted drive setup?
