RammingSpeed's Showcase-age

[RammingSpeed]

Steel 10? Blech. I would make it much lower. Lower it enough so it could be MW. Maybe even a LW, but I doubt it...

As I said before, I'm going to change the armour once I find a way to make it a lot heavier. Steel 10 is crap, I know.

[ty4er]

just add some razors or light beater bars as i said earlier. and of course drop the armour to about plastic 5

Ah, okay. Didn't see that.

Actually, the more I think about making this a MW, the more I like it. New bot coming up soon.

[martymidget]

MW would be better with the dual e-tek setup. HW needs 2 seperate e-teks or perms with weapons to be more effective :L

Armour: Plastic 5

Spinner setup: Light DS, Light BB, Etc.

4 ants, Alu skirts for front wedge now and NPCs with wide ant wheels.

Not bad. Metal Hinge Wedges are going to be very ineffective on a VS, I'd go for some angled stabilisers on ME's, personally. Perhaps swap for the S-shaped TWM motors rather than straight ones, they give you a wider stance, and you don't have to have the motors pointing behind the wheels.

Thanks. Does having the TWMs the other way round make a difference?

[NFX]

It's more so the wheels don't get lifted off the ground if something gets under you.

[Naryar]

Seems you might get stuck on your TWM3R's. Do what NFX said.

[Badnik96]

Is it stable?

[Mr. AS]

the wedge is going to be worthless after you lose a weapon or two

Shrink chassis, get bigger or more weapons and tidy up your extender work.

[NFX]

Cute. But can definitely be improved. Chassis can be shrunk a huge amount, and try not to overlap the wedges like that. If you click the bottom of the slider when you're selecting the bot height, you get the chassis lower than if you slide it down. That'll allow you to put more efficient wheels on, such as Hypnos. Maybe swap the Beater Bars for other weapons, perhaps LDS teeth or razors.

[Naryar]

Bad. Really.

Tiny weapons and large wheels will leave your chassis and mobility exposed, the extenders are slightly exposed (although not much), extender work is doubtful and the chassis is far too large for your actual LW rammer needs.

Also using that much weight on a LW wedge for a rammer is probably overkill.

[Enigm@]

2/10 apply yourself.
First off, shrink the chassis. Use something even half-way pliable, not the current extenders you have. It doesn't need wedges, so remove the hinges. If you're going to use bigger wheels use something so it can be invertible; if not, go with hypnos. And lastly use small DSL teeth.

[RammingSpeed]

That any better?
Armour: Alu 3mm

[NFX]

A bit better. You could definitely stand to shrink up the chassis a bit more, though, and always use an ME as opponsed to a BA like this. It does the same job for 1kg less, which can make a world of difference, especially at this weight level.

[ty4er]

its better but still pretty bad.

replace the baseplate anchor for a multi extender, get something like plastic 3 or tite 1 and shrink the chassis a lot more (a 1x4 chassis would do) and then you can replace most of those lds teeth with razors
