Maybe try curving it slightly, that might help them do some damage.

How do I do that?

What you could do is use a Flipper Segment between two of the DSL Discs on either side to get the right angle. That would take you right up to the seven components in series that the game mechanics allows.

For the rammer, the segments are too exposed IMO. On the VS, the motor seems rather exposed. Also, don't use the half sheets, use normal skirts for the supports. Better HP for the weight.

They're not halfsheets they're just 120 aluminum skirts. Motor's held on fine for matches. I don't know what to do about the segments. I thought the same, but I ran out of weight.

You could almost get a real drivetrain on there if you swap your disk for a small drum component and attach the hammers with their other AP.

Sure I'll try that.

I agree with the drum - I've always thought putting hammers on a VS disk is a little pointless as it's heavier and you don't really get the benefits of a disk because of the size of hammers. Looks nice though, gotta say :D

Any better?

All mags have 400hp, right? You'd probably be better off with a perm 132 if that's the case.

And I think you can change your showcase title- there isn't much left for you to learn IMO :P

NFX · « **Reply #292 on:** December 17, 2011, 06:20:24 AM »

I would swap for a Perm 132 S. You might lose a bit of power, but you get 20 times the HP of the motor you're using at the moment. What you could also do is attach the Flipper Segments directly to the Halfsheet with the AP on the back, so you could attach the drive motors and stabilisers directly to that, and eliminate the Alu extenders from the equation, saving you another 6kg to spend on something, maybe upgrading the armour.

Also, the side panel on the back seems a little pointless, in my view.

SKBT · « **Reply #293 on:** December 17, 2011, 06:25:19 AM »

Try mounting the stablizers horizontal instead of vertical. It tends to give a cleaner look and gives spinners less surface to 'bite' and throw your bot around.

Tried some new things

MassimoV · « **Reply #295 on:** December 17, 2011, 01:52:26 PM »

Oh I also have another question, which python should I use for a 3wd sns?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #296 on:** December 17, 2011, 02:00:15 PM »

fbs.py?

MassimoV · « **Reply #297 on:** December 17, 2011, 05:52:10 PM »

Ok thanks. Anyways, the bot?

MassimoV · « **Reply #298 on:** December 18, 2011, 04:05:47 PM »

Ok then. Astronamical Frying Pan:

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #299 on:** December 18, 2011, 09:46:36 PM »

What is that? Cruiserweight? It can't possibly be a MW and there's no way it weighs 800kgs unless it has 10mm steel and tons of batteries.

VS is looking very good, but the flipper looks like spinner food.
