How?
The wheels and the bar don't hit each other, and I could raise them anyway and it wouldn't change it's performance in CC.
ALSO WHY THE CAPS LOCK

Looks pretty good, Scorp. My only concern is the size of its wheels in relation to the body size and that armour. If a well-armoured flipper hits that, it's done.
Yeah, that's my main worry, it's weaponry seems to fair quite well but if it faces something like a popup or a rammer, it won't end well me thinks.

The tribar cuts all the way through the chasis, the top part of the chasis can't be attatched to the bottom part

:eek:
I can't believe i didn't notice that, I guess caps lock was necessary  :laughing
Erm, if it was a component you could stick an axle on the center of the tribar and then put the top on that?
That's my very poor excuse ;P

Ring Spinner. =P It's a design that can be made IRL, but not in RA2 with the components we have available.

It's technically realistic but not "real" realistic.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Yeah, when I realised the problem I didn't expect you to  :laughing
I'm going to try and tweak it now anyway, maybe use a small disk instead....

This is one of the things I don't like about DSL that much, there's no way to construct a realistic Ring Spinner design, which is a design I really like.

Anti-immobilizer/srimech.
Wouldn't it make the spinner unstable though?

No, it doesn't, I imagine it's because it's too light to really weigh down one end.

If you're not going to except them... that means you will include them!  Right?  RIGHT???  :gawe:


Anyways, you can easily make that bot realistic if you downgrade the drive (most HS's don't need Mags) and put batteries where the Mags used to go.  Also make the chassis flatter, possibly wider as well for stability.

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.
