Yes, TriTon, your post was veeeerrrrryyyyyy constructive.

Anyway, it looks to slow for me. You could probably get stronger motors by removing some batteries (spin motors need only about 1 ant battery each to work; for this bot, I would suggest 5).

The bottom armor is cool, but the top, front, and rear armor seems lacking. Instead, I would recommend a couple of side panels or skirts.

My general rule when commenting on bots is always to say at least one positive thing about it, like "Good design" or "Nice touch with..." so I'm not just pointing out everything that's wrong with the bot. Because people don't like to hear just criticism, they like to know what they're doing right too.

the maces look cool, and the BS is a nice touch too, but yeah could use faster drive and fewer batts

Use NPC's and something else than ramplates. And yes, 6 ants on this is enough.

By the way, as long as one doesn't enters a crawler into a tournament or overuses them as "OMFG THIS IS MY BEST BOT DESTROYS ALL STOCK LOLOLOLOL", i have no real grudge on crawlers.

while working on Weapon System,I decided to make a HW version of BoEN

But there's just one problem

trumpetguy · « **Reply #66 on:** January 05, 2010, 07:54:54 PM »

more and more people's wedges are AGODing.

S.T.C. · « **Reply #67 on:** January 05, 2010, 08:00:07 PM »

that's the one glitch I hate the most,it constantly annoys me while trying to make a decent bot.Is there any way to fix that?

TriTon · « **Reply #68 on:** January 05, 2010, 09:08:38 PM »

Simple. Dont use hinge wedges.

Naryar · « **Reply #69 on:** January 06, 2010, 02:37:47 AM »

Apart from the nearly useless halfsheet on the back it does look good.

Well, the bottom drum already picks bots up, so you probably won't need to use the top skirts anymore. Also, you also won't need such heavy extender work for the rear. Sheck panels would work. You could use the weight to upgrade the wheels to Hypnos or Technos and add some side protection/trappers. :D

Yeah right, it happens on any wedge einstein....

Drums don't need wedge anyway. But yes hinges being too close to motors seem to AGOD wedge a lot. I mean there are axle wedge if you don't mind your wedge being below average.

S.T.C. · « **Reply #73 on:** January 06, 2010, 12:57:15 PM »

current version of BoEN HW

You could probably shrink the chassis width-ways until the npc's almost touch. Hypno wheels have better grip than grannies for the same weight.

Skirt Hinge + Door Hinge = AGOD
Extenders + Door Hinge = WIN

I try using the normal way of making wedges first, If they AGOD, I use extenders instead of Skirt Hinges :P

123savethewhales · « **Reply #76 on:** January 06, 2010, 04:44:46 PM »

problem is his upper wedge cuts into the bottom drum, so he had to use skirt hinge.

Naryar · « **Reply #77 on:** January 07, 2010, 05:03:47 AM »

Metal hinge + extenders + small wedge = gAyGOD, and this highly pisses me off.

(Who doesn't anyways...)

Well,I'm pretty much horrible at AW and BW (which is obvious if you saw how I did in Micro Mayhem),but I decided to make a BW and I ended up making this

It had 4 irons but it was overweight.

Urjak · « **Reply #79 on:** January 07, 2010, 07:25:14 PM »

Not bad... not bad at all. I wold however go for much smaller wheels, to give you more weight to work with.
