Yeah, cutting teeth = generally fail

I meant to ask if they were any good in my first post but it got cut off.
What do you think I should replace them with considering that anything larger makes the bot unstable.

Errr, I know I was working on becoming atleast acceptable in stock, but it gave me a headache, and I really wanted to make a flipper soooo:

42 ants in total, wedge is actually the best wedge i've ever made and the bot is VERY fun to use

Aluminium 5 armour because my heads to sore to think of anything to do with the little space I had left, still, surely this counts as generic now?

Alu 5 = fail

I know it's veryinefficient, still it was the strongest armour I could fit on there, and there's no room for anything really inside the chasis

Here ya go Nar

Now it's got plastic 5 armour, obvious (but I think quite usefull) side skirts aaaaand AN EXTRA ANT!!

Also, to make this post more worthwhile

Little picture of the latest version of fatal tragedy, added side hammer things, put them on large JX's to try and get the most out of them, added some side protection/skirts, aluminium bar on the back to stop it being flipped over (although it's probably far from full-proof

)

Flipper is unrealistic (flippers pass thru batteries). Fix the flipper arc.

^fixed^
Also, the only bot idea i've had recently that didn't fail spectacularly when i actually made it

Titanium 1 armour and 10 ant batteries

Are you sure that isn't too much speed and weight on the BSGs? In my opinion it would be better to downgrade to 4WD and use another pair of BSGs for the weapons.

Naryar · « **Reply #168 on:** October 23, 2010, 03:29:58 AM »

Do what ounce said. It's a cool idea, but yes, BSGs cannot handle efficienctly more than 50kg.

Thanks for the advice Ounce

I upgraded the wedges to be on the safe side, but I don't know what to do with the extra weight.
Same armour, 13 batts

powerrave · « **Reply #173 on:** October 23, 2010, 10:33:01 AM »

add another batt?

Well I could probably get away with 12, I just added an extra 1 just incase, so it seems a bit too much of a waste.

NFX · « **Reply #175 on:** October 23, 2010, 10:40:21 AM »

Personally, I'd switch the forward-pointing razors on the side arms to Light DS Teeth, and stick another battery in there. I'm slightly worried about it running low on power during long matches.

O.k then, I can do that.
I always thought it was 1 bsg = 2 ants though?

Scorpion · « **Reply #177 on:** October 31, 2010, 01:36:45 PM »

I got two bots to post this time:
First is the final frontier

6 ants and 4 big batteries, titanium 3 armour

And now a more fun bot, Anarchy in the u.k

Yeah, I know that there's probably too much weight on the weapon or whatever, this one's more for my own amusement :)
6 ants and titanium 3 on this aswell

Feel free to ~~insult~~ offer constructive criticism

MassimoV · « **Reply #178 on:** October 31, 2010, 03:27:16 PM »

Not too bad. I don't know on the power for Final Frontier. Insides on Anarchy in the U.K. (I love that song).

martymidget · « **Reply #179 on:** October 31, 2010, 03:48:14 PM »

The Final Frontier (Iron maiden fan?:P) looks very underpowered. My F1 car with one beta 2 slims and 2 drive eteks needed 3 PC625s and 6 ants. Which is.... 3 pc625s and 2 ants per beta? :S
