@JH: What is the armor?10mm Titanium.
NPC Fasts are the most commonly used drive motors, and for good reason. They rock. Use the left/right versions and for some reason you can even mount them half-outside the chassis. They weight double a piglet (40kg) but 2 fasts are easily better than 4 piglets in my opinion, especially with the right wheels (the grippest small wheels are Hypnos, otherwise you'll be going up to the big wheels like Techno Destructos)This is useful information. Thank you! This is why I asked you guys, I'd have to learn all this on my own, and I'm terrible at that.
I mean the weapon DSL bars. They're tougher than regular steel extenders and deal some damage.Oh, those! I'll be honest, I was so caught up in not being too much like Tornado Mec that I completely forgot those had attach points.
Take a new picture whenever you make major changes. It's hard to give good advice when all we have is a mental image.(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/OrbWarriors/RA2/Drivetrainyo.jpg)
uuuuuuuuunnnnnndddddeeeeerrrrrwwwweeeiiiigggghhhhhtttttt
You could save weight by using the middle attatchment point on the bars and adding extensions if needed....I'm sorry? I'm a bit confused by what you mean.
Also it is better to have your motors facing the other way like you had it before. It gives your bot a larger stance and protects the motors.
For the MW, Downgrade to tite 3 or plastic 5, change weapon motor to a dual mag and use 30 kg hammers.I have a MW that has a 4 mag gearbox, NPC fasts, plastic 3mm and 2 50 kg hammers.
I'd use a dual mag & two 60kg hammers (as I have done on quite a few MWs)For the MW, Downgrade to tite 3 or plastic 5, change weapon motor to a dual mag and use 30 kg hammers.I have a MW that has a 4 mag gearbox, NPC fasts, plastic 3mm and 2 50 kg hammers.
I could put 30 kgs on my bot and get plastic 5
Dual Mag hasn't enough torque for a rather long DSL bar with 60kg on each side.What do you suggest, then, oh patron saint of (mostly) constructive criticism?

Damn, you discovered my master plan. Guess it's time for Plan B: 500 kg of ballasts and control circuits!Dual Mag hasn't enough torque for a rather long DSL bar with 60kg on each side.What do you suggest, then, oh patron saint of (mostly) constructive criticism?
I suggest you go into the bot lab, try different versions with different motors, test it against AI, figure what is best by yourself and return to us with your results that i am sure will change RA2 forever.
Edit: Though i am sure you are smart enough not to put a piglet or single Mag on this.
Multi extenders attach to the baseplate and are lighter than baseplate extenders.Ah, I see. Ok, done, and upgraded again to 3mm Titanium
NPC+Technos is a huge gamble on a LW if you don't have enough stabilizers. Once its motion gets interrupted by a wedge, that hammer will just flop around in the air and become useless. NPCF+Hypnos is safer and is harder to target, but make sure its stance is wide enough to accelerate fast. :D
Also - and this is quite improtant to me but not to others - improve the painting on your chassis. Get a few decal packs.I can do a nice enough paint job with just the one decal pack without skinning :P
Semi-random question, how do you guys usually program your controls?

Turn the DSL bars 90 degrees; they'll be able to do more damage that way.I tried to, but then when I spin, I bounce around like nobody's business.
Metal Hinge + DSL Bar + Small Wedge is normally your best bet, but the AGOD is a bitch if you go down that road. Metal Hinge Wedges are better than Skirt Hinge Wedges for the same components, though.Alright, I'll try that.
Axel Glitch Of Death.Aw, damn.
Its when your bots collision mesh doesn't line up with the visible component.
That happens to everyone, I think it's an extension of AGOD. Go into Test Robot, then back to Components, and then they come back.Awesome, thanks.

btw you can stop the axle from flying away by switching tabs right after attaching it.
