Try raising the BSG's, this gives them a better flipping arc.

I remember lurking in your old showcase. Welcomeback. Anyways, Phantasy and The Big Bad Wolf lokk really cool.

More fun with Flippers. :3

Pretty much everything is visible. Has no issues OOTA'ing bots. Incase you can't see the extender, the ME near the drive has a 40CM poly extender angled backwards coming off from it, this is there to stop it resting on its back after flipping. It can still drive on its back but it's intermittent and not worth the hassle for such an easy solution. Wedges work well nao, having had a few AGOD issues. Was originally intended to be a MW, but when I 'finished' it, it was basically just an overweight LW; slimmed it down and this is teh finished product.

Just had a crazy idea.

You...

Vs. Vertigo.

*Ohgodface*

Jet-speed · « **Reply #64 on:** April 24, 2011, 03:34:59 AM »

Lmao, isn't Vertigo one of the acknowledged Flipper gods, or am I thinking of someone else? D:

Still messing around with ideas though. Trying HS's, VS's, Flipper's, whatever I can think of. Flippers and rammers seem to be the only things I can build atm. ><

FOTEPX · « **Reply #65 on:** April 24, 2011, 03:36:43 AM »

Eh. Vs is too easy to build, same with HS. Hybrids are where it's at.

Well, I don't want to be modest, but, yeah, thats me :P (I wouldn't say I'm a god though)

Nice flipper though, but try to get a stabiliser on it

Jet-speed · « **Reply #67 on:** April 24, 2011, 05:44:36 AM »

Try as I might, I couldn't get a stabiliser on it. ;<

Anyway, gave a Sheck spinner a go.

Drive: NPC-T64 norm.
Power: 2 Ants
Armour: Tite 3

I say nao, i'm completely uneducated when it comes to Sheck spinners. This was my first real attempt. Don't know what makes the best static weapons, motors etc. Was originally intended to be a middleweight, hence the drive and E-tek. Half way through I realised that building up to the MW Weight limit crippled the E-tek spin up wise (I was finding it taking something like 7 seconds to spin up to full speed, which is just ludicrous) so I cut down the weapons to make it a LW. Spin up time is now pretty much instantaneous, but due to the chassis size when it goes up on its side it's rarely going to leave spikeball mode. It gets outweaponed pretty quickly also.

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated, and it's sure as

needed. :P

If you're going for a lw ss, downgrade to a piglet on the weapon motor. That's 50kg right there :P
Try mounting some razors on flails for weapons aswell for more damage.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #69 on:** April 24, 2011, 05:48:34 AM »

NO. NO. NO.

Use Side Skirts instead of the angled ones and get some razors on there. DO NOT follow Conraaa's advice. Use an astro instead of that NPC.

Conraaa · « **Reply #70 on:** April 24, 2011, 05:56:50 AM »

If he's going to go down to 1 astro, then couldn't he go straight to a perm on the weapon motor?
I'll shut up now.

Jet-speed · « **Reply #71 on:** April 24, 2011, 06:01:43 AM »

Before I can try either of your advice, I need to make a chassis that won't nasty pickle glitch.

I'm finding for some reason it's not pickling with an NPC, which is too big to get a 100cm disc around for the straight panels. /trollface.

Generally a TWM3R is all you need for a flail shell spinner and a TWM3R2 is all you need for a normal shell spinner.

Oh great, NOW I see your post. :3

Anyway, finally remade it after about two hours of Pickle glitching and crying behind my computer.

I wanted to use Astro drive. I really did. The nasty pickle glitch didn't want me to use Astro drive. Every reasonable chassis size with even the smallest wheels resulted in fail using Astro's, yet for some reason 80% of the chassis's didn't glitch out with a NPC to drive. In the end I gave up and went with the NPC, it's more mobile anyway.

Drive: NPC-T64
Power: 3 Ants
Armour: 1mm Plastic

Tried razor's on flails. The havok engine smited me for trying something so cheap. ;< The DSL disc was a necessity, I couldn't get the mag higher and the 30cm skirts were too short; the disc acts as a spacer.

Pwnator · « **Reply #74 on:** April 24, 2011, 08:29:21 AM »

Use some good ol' axle loading for the mag so you can use the 10kg on somewhere else (like a mini wheel).

Jet-speed · « **Reply #75 on:** April 24, 2011, 08:31:51 AM »

Either I don't understand Axle loading or I don't understand how Axle loading would make a difference. :P

No, no. I know how to axle load. It's just isn't that just for placing things where the axle/whatever's attached would get in the way? The reason I used the DSL disc was to raise the main shell up so I could use 40CM panels while keeping the drive wheel on the ground. Without the DSL disc the 30cm's were too short (wasn't balanced properly since a 1 wheel shell spinner relies quite heavily on the shell for stability), and the 40cm's were too long and I couldn't get any drive. Can axle loading increase the height of the axle without the motor, cuz the collision mesh for the mag stops it at that height. :P

Pwnator · « **Reply #78 on:** April 24, 2011, 08:41:33 AM »

I was supposed to suggest 30cm panels with flails at the bottom APs, but I guess the engine hates you that much. >.<

Jet-speed · « **Reply #79 on:** April 24, 2011, 08:42:46 AM »

<-- Is confused nao, but then again confusing me isn't hard. :P

And yeah, I think i'mma avoid flails on this, all it took was a knock off balance and the thing flew through the roof. ><
