FBS's need quite a lot of weaponry on the outside of the bot, and some very fast drive, usually NPC's or E-Tek Drive Motors. Also grippy wheels, such as Technos. Overkill and WBC Wheels offer the same grip, but weigh more.

Full body spinner=SnS

If you are talking about a Sheck Spinner...

-You do not need a ton of drive
-Putting the weapons on flails increases their power exponentially.
-You do not need a huge motor to power the shell unless its a heavyweight.

not really sure who's right there, but ill post a pic in a second
Edit: the problem is that, while it can turn left and right fine, when it goes forward it just sits there with the chassis going round and round
the snow plow was a failed attempt to weigh it down

Edit 2: Woohoo its working!

What did you add?

G.K. · « **Reply #145 on:** July 25, 2010, 10:56:05 AM »

You're using weapon motors for drive.

J24 · « **Reply #146 on:** July 25, 2010, 11:48:12 AM »

and drive motors for weapons i know i couldnt be bothered to change them up until now
Edit: oops i accidentally scrapped him
o well he was failing miserably anyway

As its a HW, it needs a LOT more weapons

J24 · « **Reply #148 on:** July 25, 2010, 02:10:43 PM »

Are most of your bots on BotExchange?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #152 on:** July 26, 2010, 10:06:59 AM »

Upload the bot on the exchange and post the binding here using code tags

Code: [Select]

like this

J24 · « **Reply #153 on:** July 26, 2010, 12:08:36 PM »

thanks badnik
in other news since everyone seems to be making CCIV entries i had a go at making one myself. (it is going to be heavyweight, right?)

all thats inside is 4 ants and a control board (so nothing interesting really)

Code: [Select]

also im testing the code bracket thingys

G.K. · « **Reply #154 on:** July 26, 2010, 12:20:03 PM »

Lightweight, not heavyweight.

J24 · « **Reply #155 on:** July 26, 2010, 01:05:38 PM »

*panics*
aaaargh!
*end of panic*

NFX · « **Reply #156 on:** July 26, 2010, 01:08:07 PM »

I think it may have been in the discussion thread.

J24 · « **Reply #157 on:** July 26, 2010, 02:47:03 PM »

builders block and a 250kg weight limit is a lethal combo! AARGH!
anyone got any inspiration they dont mind me using?

SteveM4 · « **Reply #158 on:** July 26, 2010, 03:12:06 PM »

Yeah, I have just built 2 cube bots, the flipper one is by far the best of the two,
but that idea came from most other cube flippers in showcases!

NFX · « **Reply #159 on:** July 26, 2010, 04:00:35 PM »

EVERY CCIV ENTRY IS A FLIPPER!

I must build some sort of anti-flipper robot.
