Yeah sorry, Trying to keep it 56K safe, The drives are two NPC-T64 Fast Left/Right

And i swear i had the steel armour to 10 MM but it's highlighted to tit 1 MM... So.. Just go with steel 10 or 5 MM

Ok, So first... Remove those decoration flags, Theyre lost of weight :P
You have 20KG left there, By removing the flags youll get more... With that weight i guess you could upgrade the hammer a bit.

I think what i see infront there is an Anchor Extender? You could use a Multi-Extender for that & Youll save 1KG :D
Also, That wedge is not gonna help much i think, You should put it on a Metal Hinge (Those door hinges) instead of an extender...

And it looks over powered ;O

Can you put a more clear pic of the insides? So we can look at your extender work on the front :P

It IS overpowered.

To have a good hammer bot, you need a wedge, decent defense and a stronger weapon.

don`t use .bmps` and build to weight limit
Title: Re: kcdowdy's Showcase =3
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on March 20, 2010, 01:49:42 PM
Thyrus, he did build to the weight limit(Almost).

Change Carbon fibre extender to something longer STRONGER and you don't need that T extender, just use the side attachment point on extenders.

there is a weightclass with 700 kg? O.o
Title: Re: kcdowdy's Showcase =3
Post by: kcdowdy on March 20, 2010, 01:51:36 PM
Well my amour plating is gone, That's a lot of my weight gone, That's no outside amour at all.. So.. yeah, Off my case Thyrus.  :p And make it longer? Are you sure? It's scraping the ground now, and i don't think my wheels are big enough

Alright, I'll make that modification and post another screenshot? Anyway, Brb in like two seconds. :P

Back, The T extender made it flush against the ground with my current wheels, But i just remembered that side extender attachment point can also be on the side, So my current wheels have been removed, And I have some new huge wheels and saved 4 KG, And also went invert-able, So that is a HUGE plus when fighting flipper bots, Etc.
 So, Be kind, Rewind  And welcome the new Rippy! :D

Get gripper wheels(Valds,grannies,tornados,technos.)

Do not use the smaller control board. It wastes 1 kg.
Open space wastes weight as well, and update that hammer.
Also, the 10 mm steel is still 10 mm. Its just a glitch that all armors show up as the 1 mm in the menu.

What exactly am i upgrading the hammer too, Any other hammer and the bot refuses to lift it up, But, the 60 KG hammer swinging once was a epic trident effect. :P

I will replace the control board but it's a hassle to get all the controls remapped, Pain in the Armour.

And i can't fit other wheels, The side amour starts conflicting the wheels, So that, And the other wheels i had, Only ones i know that work.

Played around a bit, Controls remapped, I'm trying to figure out a flipper idea to make it rewrite n stuffs.
Got the blue control box, Bot is working pretty good.

How exactly am i going to update the hammer?
Like seriously, I am lost on a good weapon. D:

Use many razors or DSL Small DS Tooth(s) for a hammer instead of a sledgehammer.

No, it's not realistic, but this is a game.
