On Amber...

Lighten up the extender work with the multiextenders. Also, you can raise up the small ones within the chassis, you do not HAVE to use the big ones. You can easily put the entire side on one, make its extenders really strong, and then not have to worry about that. Try to use grippier wheels. You can do a lot better than Shiny Hubs, and Speed is key. Don't use such a heavy setup for your weapons. You need more weapons and less extenders.

Very good.

Another thing though, you do not need a lot of external armor around the chassis (like those heavy hex plates), because it is rarely hit.

thats why theres only 3 there, and thanks for all the advice, somebody

I am not an sns expert, but by looking at your bot, the hinges look like to be back to front.

Somebody · « **Reply #125 on:** July 24, 2010, 11:32:20 AM »

Yup. Thats good because of what I said earlier. The bot doesn't transfer all of its energy into the other bot in a hit, so it does not have to spin completely back up after. If they were vertical it wouldn't make much of a difference.

Right, i cant decide on what to build next, so hit me with ideas please
also, @somebody, isnt the carbonfiber nanotube holding up the flags on da a custom component? and if so how is it allowed in ELBITE?
(theres probably a logical explination staring me in the face, i just cant see it)

Somebody · « **Reply #127 on:** July 24, 2010, 12:10:42 PM »

(The fact that its not there and it was a joke XD). The Typhoon Flag component has a large space in it with no collision mesh, and a flag up at the top. Good for self-righting.

J24 · « **Reply #128 on:** July 24, 2010, 12:22:09 PM »

oh ok. wait typhoon flag?
(i know im probably missing something, but anyway)
never mind, found it

Somebody · « **Reply #129 on:** July 24, 2010, 12:31:52 PM »

This component. In the dropdown menu under the Ronin Flags in the extras part.

The blank spot in the middle has no collision mesh, and the collision of the flag is much bigger than the flag shown. Attach it and hit F12 to look at it.

Use bsg's instead of Mag Snappers, they are better.

Somebody · « **Reply #133 on:** July 24, 2010, 01:09:28 PM »

And you shouldn't leave the front so exposed. Try some armor, maybe a DSL Bar.

J24 · « **Reply #134 on:** July 24, 2010, 01:34:11 PM »

ok, anything else?

G.K. · « **Reply #135 on:** July 24, 2010, 01:41:08 PM »

Get rid of the usless spike strips, and upgrade to hypno drive.

SteveM4 · « **Reply #136 on:** July 24, 2010, 01:58:22 PM »

I think that would hinder invertibility
Also, he needs those DSL bars there, so when the snappers arn't in use, they are wheel guards.

NFX · « **Reply #137 on:** July 24, 2010, 02:08:24 PM »

Try and get some static wheel guards.

And spike strips have normal, os they only do damage on certain parts. I'd suggest replacing them with beater bars.

And Hypno's and NPC's are invertible, provided that the chassis is low enough. I think you could use the Slider Chassis glitch to get the height you need.

J24 · « **Reply #138 on:** July 24, 2010, 02:31:45 PM »

thanks nfx

i feel like making a full body spinner for green, but i read on the wiki that it is a challenge to make one well, so can you help please
Edit: Full body spinner has failed, miserably. PLEASE HELP!

SteveM4 · « **Reply #139 on:** July 24, 2010, 04:25:29 PM »

If you want I could take a look, I am no expert but i'll see what I can (or can't) do!
