That's really cool, and it has a good paint job.

That is fantastic! I love it!

Looks very good, dude. Can't actually find much fault with it on first impressions, how is it on invertibility?

Pwnator · « **Reply #124 on:** October 20, 2010, 11:13:48 PM »

Pretty sure it's invertible at that height.

Also, is downgrading the wedge enough to get you Plastic 3?

powerrave · « **Reply #125 on:** October 21, 2010, 04:29:07 AM »

plastic 3 will still cause overweight. i tried it and steel 1 is just the toughest i could get. at first it was a poly wedge but seeing the weight i had left, i decided to upgrade the wedge.
it is perfectly invertible. may it some points even work better when inverted.

I don't think you need a metal hinge wedge on a BW

powerrave · « **Reply #127 on:** October 21, 2010, 06:12:04 AM »

i help to get under other bots nicely. i don't see why i should remove it as that would only work as a downside.

Naryar · « **Reply #128 on:** October 21, 2010, 06:30:22 AM »

Skirt hinge wedges can be good also. And there's not a lot of wedged BWs.

powerrave · « **Reply #129 on:** October 21, 2010, 07:54:45 AM »

can be good, but i don't like the idea of being outwedged easily. there may bot be much wedged BWs, but they are there. and as with everything, at some point there will be a lot.

another question now. what can i best use to power a Beta? i know about ants but over 20 is quite a lot to spam into one chassis.

Naryar · « **Reply #130 on:** October 21, 2010, 08:06:29 AM »

3 PC625's minimum, 4 maximum.

Ants wise?

Naryar · « **Reply #132 on:** October 21, 2010, 10:51:55 AM »

18-22, but ant spam is wasted weight when using beta bursts.

powerrave · « **Reply #133 on:** October 31, 2010, 04:21:03 PM »

not gotten to good design for beta, so here is new BW.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #134 on:** October 31, 2010, 05:32:25 PM »

It looks Okay, but does the weapons touch floor? Yes?

powerrave · « **Reply #135 on:** October 31, 2010, 05:39:32 PM »

yes. so? it also toutches the opponent and damages it.

Scorpion · « **Reply #136 on:** October 31, 2010, 05:45:19 PM »

Is that 5 ants in there?
You only need 3, if you take it down to 3 you could shrink the chasis aswell, and then get rid of the DS small teeth for razors.

The Ounce · « **Reply #137 on:** October 31, 2010, 05:49:06 PM »

The turning circle is too small; move the drive motors forward.

powerrave · « **Reply #138 on:** November 01, 2010, 04:25:50 AM »

@scorpion: 4 ants, not 5. just to make sure the weapon will spin at good speed in a full 3 minute fight.

@ounce: can only get then forward just a little bit. will do so, but will it make much of a difference?

What do you mean; can't you use separate multi-extenders to attach the drive motors?

Of course it will make a difference; it will decrease the chance of your robot getting flanked.
