Try what Urjak said then. If I were you, make the chassis tighter so you have more weight, put the BSGs on top with just a Multi-Extender (no carbon fiber ones) and put a stabiliser on the front, otherwise, with any weight on the flipper, it'll just tip when you fire them.

Sorry Urjak, your post didnt come up. Made the chassis taller a wee bit so as to get the ants in

Sorry Urjak, your post didnt come up.


Umm... what? The post is right here:


 
Get some sort of stabilizer, ideally a metal hinge wedge, sticking out of the front of the bot so that it won't tip forward when flipping.


And I would highly recommend getting this wedge/stabilizer.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Select the other attachment point on the ant battery to make it vertical, and it will fit in smaller places.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

use ant batteries instead of those orange batts.

Then enter it into Blades of Fury :P (kinda semi-joking, you should still enter though)

It looks like it has 2 ants. I thought 1 ant per spin motor and 2 ants per burst/piston?

Anyway, not meaning to bury you, but there are LW's with more weaponry than that.

*whacks Freeziez for giving the most horrible advice i've ever seen in days, especially coming from an OK builder*

Anyways, this needs less empty space. 2WD drive needs 2 ants (one ant per spin motor), 3 is fine for more battery power though.

Also that chassis is way too large. Reduce it. Pistons also use quite a lot of air. You can only use one piston and 1 large air tank (which are the best), and attack a rack of weapons on it. You might then want to add a wedge.

Killalot drills are good, just be sure not to waste too much weight on your weapon attachments.

I'm sorry, but I really didn't know.

BOT, pretty much just do everything Naryar said.

But to get the large air tank you have to use cheatbot2 which wouldnt work for two reasons. A. it doesn't fit. B. it's illegal for the cheatbot2 parts to be used.
