Yes, I know you’re trying to help.
That bot is generally awful.
Would 4 long batteries do the trick? Oh, and a larger weapon motor and TWM3Rs for the drive?

It would depend on the amount of drive motors and weapon motors

4 long batteries is far too many. You need 2 battlepacks to power 3 spin motors for 3 minutes. That's it.

TWMRs (make sure you use the drive variants. They're clearly labeled) should be good for drive.

I'd try at least a dual mag, if not a flatmotor, a perm or a quad mag for the weapon.

Yeah, TWM3Rs are great for drive on LightWeights, and NPCs or 4 TWM3RS for MW and HW bots

I'm guessing those are regular NPCs, and for the flipper just use armor panels because those are too heavy

Flipper spikes prove more wedgy than armor panels, but I'll look into using an armor panel for a flipper. I'll also see if I can fit another battery in. It flips just fine, but the idea of using an armor panel seems to be a better choice.

Ok so for the best wedge you need wedglets.the best way of doing it I found is by getting metal hinges and attatching wedglets to the hinges. The hinges need to be the ones that can have the angle controlled. I'm not very good at explaining it sorry

I like metal hinges. Great idea.

I think I'll develop another flipper featuring wedgelets and a flipper made from an armor panel. (mainly steel)

Oh yeah:
Lighter flipper = more fragile, more powerful
Heavier flipper = more durable, less powerful

Go aluminum so the flipper can get better flips, steel is tough but heavy so go for aluminum

Not always best, for wdma midlarge/larges use TI/Alu mix

Generally, it depends on your burst motor as well. I like spiked flippers because they deal damage, but standard flippers made from lightweight armor panels work great for just flipping opponents and tend to be more powerful than weaponed flippers as you said.

Yes... Here's the tutorial.
 I. chassis adjusted as shown.
screenshot.bmp


II. It's up to you how high you adjust the tornado mag motor. Battlepack is up 2 notches, and the small drive motor (I forgot the name of the motor) is up 1 notch.

III. baseplate anchor up 1 notch. I used an aluminum square extender and titanium armor plate for front defense.

IV. Wire it. Drive motor spins counterclockwise, and spinner rotates clockwise.

V. DONE
