Done it already, Aluminium 10 , IRL enough?

1)*Facepalm* I meant move the batteries and put the burst right at the front and not raised up above them.

2) Looks IRL enough to me, but then again I kinda suck when it comes to IRL judgement apparently.

It's bland, but there's nothing exactly bad about it. Overall decent newbie bot, try to experiment more with external parts next build.

Damn, its so hard to make good IRL bots.

I agree with every one else, Only one ant (The orange battery) per motor than you will have enough weight for weapons,drive and armour. Although your designs are good, the internal not well designed.

Really needs to be invertible. Get rid of enough ants to fit room for bigger wheels, you don't need nearly that many.

Also if you wire your flamethrower to an analog you only need one small airtank to power your flamethrower as long as you keep holding the button.

Work on an actual trapping system if you want to use a flamethrower. Right now the flamethrower ain't gonna do anything.

I've finally made an irl bot for bb9: The crashing tide Gnasher

Something at the rear of gnasher said this:

First of all, the motor is VERY unprotected. (Admittedly the piglet has high hitpoints but my point stands). Your weapon isn't the most effective either as it is quite small. My advice for you would be to:

Use two NPCs (Fasts if you want a really fast bot) And not four magmotors. It is a huge waste of weight and you then don't need to have 5 ants.

Then you can add a better weapon motor, a longer drum, and possibly some external armour.

Also I think that would need some better motor support in IRL but as mentioned before I can't really tell.

A good start nonetheless, but you can make this bot very good if you focus on it.

Thanks, will work on Gnasher's revenge with these advises.

First off. Nice to see that the batterys are sorted and you are using the lightest control board. But there is one rather spacey problem, Use the space more wisely and sparingly. If you do go for two NPC Fasts I would start the build again. Mainly because it will give you more weight for a longer bigger faster drum.

This is a big improvement on your previous bots however.

gnasher seems a bit to high. make the chassi smaller or use the space better. the motors also seems kind of bad

Jakewilliamson · « **Reply #71 on:** April 30, 2014, 03:20:00 PM »

Like I said, I'm planning his revenge form so yeah, i will find plans for his revenge form.

Just gotta focus on the SHW.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #72 on:** April 30, 2014, 03:31:30 PM »

Yeah make it 2WD and add some drum support on both sides and I think you'd be just about there. Just no cheap wedges ok?

Yeah, those kind of improvements on Gnasher's revenge.

Let me just focus on my SHW.

Guess who's entering BB9!?

Guess who has risen from his tombstone!?

Whyachi has risen from his grave!!

Sorry mystic for taking over the Whyachi series, I really wanted Whyachi in BB9.

Since my BB9 SHW entry(Whyachi's Vengeful Soul) had some good test runs, he's ready to enter BB9 to change bots to soul bots!(Please post any ides on making my SHW irl enough)
