Irons are pretty bad, but at least you will use less weight on extenders.

If I couldn't make a good rammer, I'd probably make it a HS like Destructive Criticism.

What's the best way to set up the wheel guards?

Wheel guards are for pansies.

Instead of bothering about wheel guards, widen your frontal weapon rack or use weight towards mobility (higher grip wheels, faster motors). You shouldn't be flanked in the first place, especially with a rammer.

What are the better wheels?

In order : Technos, Overkills, Wheely Big Cheese's, Hypnos, Vlads, Slipperbottoms, Tornados, motorbike wheels, DSL wheels, and the rest you needn't bother with on HW level. Most of the time.

You don't need the small disc next to the main disc. remove it and make the bot use a single wedge, and add more weapons and stabilizers.

Moar weapons

Naryar · « **Reply #369 on:** October 28, 2012, 08:23:21 AM »

What you need :

Moar weapons, less useless discs, less weight used on the wedge system, an actual second wedge to feed your opponents in the weapon, and building to weight limit.

Also has the potential to be a fairly cool IRL bot tbh.

Build both a standard version and IRL version, that'll be good to see from you mr nate :D

I was making it IRL, actually.

Naryar · « **Reply #372 on:** October 28, 2012, 01:59:49 PM »

So it's IRL ? Well, keep the metal hinges and see how many people you can piss off.

smashysmashy · « **Reply #373 on:** October 28, 2012, 02:01:54 PM »

If that's the case, as a general rule under no circumstances use metal hinge wedges.

EDIT: Curse you, Nary. :P

^^bad advice. this IRL rule of "no metal hinge wedges" is because irlfags are butthurt of having good wedges in their tourneys and they MUST rely on chassis wedges, therefore being boring.

smashysmashy · « **Reply #375 on:** October 28, 2012, 02:26:28 PM »

But they wouldn't really work IRL, Nar. When they're flat to the floor like Nate's bot and the floor isn't 100% flat, the wedges will get caught, most likely either highsiding the bot or rendering the wedge useless.

If the floor isn't 100% flat then why bother making wedges at all ? Hell your argument works for flippers and for basically every single type of wedge.

Who cares man, IRL should be coolness, so whatever works is fine.
