Is just 2 bsgs enough?

3 wedges are useless on HWs. 1 or 2 is fine.

*cough*HnM4*cough* =D

I think any wedge setup has pros and cons. The thing is, most popups seem to have two long wedges on the outside, so I normally have one long wedge in the middle to get between them. And they can't do like Seism 13 in DSL and have adjustable wedges. Having three wedges pretty much negates that possibility if you have a good enough wedge.

And if you have a bad one, you are screwed either way.

It was a waste of weight really.

Lul, I'll fix it up sometime. XD

Anyways, a new bot, which has been a long time in coming. Since, april actually.

Rebuild of mah first showcased bot, Drumbelina. Only downside is that the realisticness is dodgy. Not perfectly invertible either. But meh :P Its a start.

You need a 4th ant

NFX · « **Reply #206 on:** September 21, 2010, 12:02:21 PM »

Ah, do the weapons pass through the batts?

martymidget · « **Reply #207 on:** September 21, 2010, 12:03:00 PM »

Literally just misses the batts. Which is why I dont have a fourth ant. :P

Love the concept, though I think the extender work can be simplified.

Naryar · « **Reply #209 on:** September 22, 2010, 01:22:21 AM »

Why a triple wedge ?

But yeah, it's quite messy right now.

martymidget · « **Reply #210 on:** September 22, 2010, 05:11:38 AM »

The plastic is there to eat up the weight.

Any ideas how to improve the extender work?

Just ditch the whole stabilizer thingy and use 2 80cm/120cm angled steel sheets (preferably static). Then shift your weapon setup a bit more forward so you can get your 4th ant.

Naryar · « **Reply #212 on:** September 22, 2010, 05:40:59 AM »

Use 2 metal hinge wedges.

Thanks for the help guys, this is what I've come up with. Possibly my best ever drum bot :D

Same armour, same chassis, just in reverse. As realistic as the last one regarding the 120cm skirts, but with one extra ant. Normal NPC's, but it turns really quickly :D

Vertigo · « **Reply #214 on:** September 22, 2010, 01:33:43 PM »

Sorry, but I don't really like that

Mabye its something to do with the widely exposed motors

NFX · « **Reply #215 on:** September 22, 2010, 01:37:16 PM »

I thought E-Teks had quite a lot of HP, so I reckon they should be fine for a while.

Vertigo · « **Reply #216 on:** September 22, 2010, 01:47:58 PM »

I meant more the npcs

Somebody · « **Reply #217 on:** September 22, 2010, 05:41:01 PM »

Normal NPCs = 12000 HP

123savethewhales · « **Reply #218 on:** September 22, 2010, 05:59:02 PM »

I would prefer 1 wedge for this bot, that and small beater + DS light.
