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.

Insides :D

Thyrus · « **Reply #10 on:** March 20, 2010, 01:48:24 PM »

don`t use .bmps` and build to weight limit

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #11 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.

Thyrus · « **Reply #12 on:** March 20, 2010, 01:51:12 PM »

there is a weightclass with 700 kg? O.o

kcdowdy · « **Reply #13 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.

And make it longer? Are you sure? It's scraping the ground now, and i don't think my wheels are big enough

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #14 on:** March 20, 2010, 01:52:26 PM »

Sorry, type fail.

kcdowdy · « **Reply #15 on:** March 20, 2010, 01:55:44 PM »

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

kcdowdy · « **Reply #16 on:** March 20, 2010, 02:08:42 PM »

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

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #17 on:** March 20, 2010, 03:01:25 PM »

Now upgrade hammer.

090901 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 20, 2010, 03:15:02 PM »

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

Somebody · « **Reply #19 on:** March 20, 2010, 03:33:50 PM »

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.
