Yes, replace the hypno teeth with something else.

Hypno teeth are good !

But yeah, complex spinners (spinners on spinners) aren't really good.

I would definitely lose the wedge, it's not really doing much, and put on Hypno Wheels. If you want to use something other than hypno teeth, then possibly Maces, Large Beater Bars, or a mixture of Heavy and Light DS Teeth. If you drop the armour a bit, you could get all Heavy DS Teeth onto there.

Well i haven't been beaten yet with it (against dsl ofcourse).
But yeah as i said it's my first ever spinner and i wanted to try to make it unique.

I will have to rebuild it anyway, a weird glitch just happened where it somehow deleted the WHOLE spinning mechanism (from 40 extender up)
While i was in the testing area.

Is it a known glitch? heres a pic if it helps.

That happened to me with a SS before. Dunno what it is, but it sucks[\i]

It's called unwanted axle loading.

Scorpion · « **Reply #27 on:** August 31, 2010, 09:40:28 AM »

Right i'm done
I won't be working on the chasis or major things like that anymore (although i might still make the odd quick edit)

Do you really need that extenger on the motor? Just raise the motor.

powerrave · « **Reply #29 on:** August 31, 2010, 11:39:27 AM »

i think it would be good to keep the discs a bit low to the ground. just my opinion tho.

I would have but when one of the disks is removed it becomes more unstable and spinning up to full power makes it wobble.
If it were too low it would have damaged itself and perhaps even flipped it over.

I know it probably is cooler as a complex spinner, but it really would fight better with a 6-mag or 2-Perm, no secondary eteks and more weapons.

But do as you wish.

Maybe the next spinner i make...

But for my first time building a spinner it's not bad and is very fun to use (mostly thanks to the very helpful advice i've got in this thread

)

O.k completely different and new robot called octavarium (it's named after a dream theater song).
It's got 6 wheel fast nptc drive and steel 3 armour. Also that's 8 ants, just to be sure.

I know i've probably made a really stupid mistake somewhere that you guys will be sure to bring up

but i think this one's better than my last.

Also, you can't have the iron spikes overlapping at all in dsl right?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #34 on:** September 07, 2010, 01:38:33 PM »

The chassis is too big, let the wheels stick out and use a simple box, irons aren't amazing in DSL but if they overlap on the same mount (don't move through each other) it's realistic. 6 ants for this, those extenders on the poker bit maybe able to be made lighter. Why use 3 pistons?

Scorpion · « **Reply #35 on:** September 07, 2010, 02:12:50 PM »

If i expose the wheels won't that make them more open to damage?
I think i will sort out the sides (no slant) but the front is wedge shaped so it can run right through opponents.
And i had 3 pistons because i originally had overlapping spikes (which i'll gadly put back on now) although if this is still unneccesary then i'll cut one loose thanks.

The chassis is more important, add wheel guards if needed. Maybe add a proper wedge to combat other wedges.

O.k, just wandering what's best to use for wheel protection.
I had an old robot that had dsl bars along the sides is that a good idea?

Yeh, probably.

Good space management.
