Ok all you guys saying to move the bots to a showcase, here you go.Pipe Clogger.

The drive are twm3rs or whatever they are called,Weapon is a Dual Perm with the 70kg hammers. Any advice, improvements or thoughts would be appreciated.

Hooray :D
Well, it has a lot of improment to be done really :P
Dunt use them angle connectors (use flipper segs instead cuz they weigh less and will last a lot longer)
Same with the T-connectors except you can use the side attachment points (the green cube-things that appear before you attach them if ya didn't know :P) on those steel extenders.
Wait, actually you can change those steel extenders for a DSL bar.
Change those wheels to Technos and can you tell us the armour?
Oh and i think you can shrink the chassis aswell :D
Also try changing the drive motors to NPC's
But you hopefully will get better.

Hey, it's Nary!

Anyway.

- Shrink chassis
- Use better wheels
- Choose LW or MW, don't build in between
- Don't use baseplate anchors
- Armour?
- The tornadow weapon seems fragile
- Use the blue control board

You're obviously learning though.

- Good batteries and amounts
- Good drive motors
- Good weapon motors

Just keep revising that bot 'till you've god something good. :)

SHRINK THE CHASSIS?!?! Any smaller and you wouldn't be able to fit a USB into it! And what better wheels should I use to still make it invertible? Thepussycats?

That chassis is huge.

Seriously, that is an enormous chassis. On a Lightweight, look for my Clash Cubes IV entry (Wheels Are Tasty 4 1/2) to get an idea of what you can get away with. The reason small chassis' are good is because they eat up MUCH less weight, which could be used for things like weaponry or external armour.

How is THAT huge? and upgrade:

If you cant read the armor its 5mm Titanium

The front things sticking out. They just give other bots something to hit. You have plenty of room for batteries as well, with the shrink.

Heres an example.

Here are the BBEANS 3 match videos: http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/bbeans/matches/3/index.htm

Watch the ones with Darkblade 1.0
The needless chassis arms kill the bot in each match, and they also waste weight. You can keep the bot stable perfectly fine with some wedges, for a lot less weight.

madman3 · « **Reply #12 on:** May 01, 2011, 01:49:37 PM »

If you remove the front prongs and replace them with, say, titanium skirts, you'll save some weight. Also, remember you can elevate batteries so you have a set covering only vertical space, saving you a lot of weight that would otherwise be used om the chassis.

Also, 2 NPCs with nothing in-between are pretty much the standard for chassis sizes (but probably not on a drum). Try showcases such as Pwnator's, Nary's, The Ounce's, 123STW's and SM's.

You'll get used to it, most of us have to do it a lot, especially in Stock.

You have to...that's the point. :P

Use a 2x2 or 1x2 chassis for best results.

And learn to use multiextenders, they weigh less and take up less space.

Phinox237 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 01, 2011, 07:33:34 PM »

1x2 or 2x2 what?

Chassis.

Phinox237 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 01, 2011, 08:22:30 PM »

Holy cow! how am I supposed to use NPC's on that!?

NFX · « **Reply #19 on:** May 01, 2011, 08:23:23 PM »

With the attachment points. Or, use Multi Extenders and other things.

EDIT: Here's a link to an example. The chassis contains 2 ants and the large control board.
