Plastic 1? Something's not right here, you should be able to get stronger armor than that with the stuff you have. The srimech can't be THAT heavy.

Speaking of srimechs, you might try the setup I used on Tempest (in the Megaton team). That's the most reliable way of self-righting a shell spinner I've found. The key is the stabilizer that sticks out beyond the shell which also doubles as bottom armor.

Looks like a solidly powerful shell spinner you've got there, in any case.

1mm plastic

There's gotta be a better way to attach the drive motors, so you can get at least 1mm Ti.

Otherwise looks great.

Not with that stupid Multi Extender. I tried.

You could mount them directly onto the baseplate.

drop 1 ant, baseplate mount them and upgrade Armour

that many even give you the weight to get stronger extenders too

Nottrying to reject advice but isn't the rule 1 ant per spin motor?

Naryar · « **Reply #49 on:** March 17, 2010, 07:13:59 AM »

1 ant per spin motor or more if you want battery power.

SnS building off of my prevous ones

Drive 2 E-Tecks
5 ants
2 mechavore disks on a piglets
plastic 3 armor
398.5KGS

What is happening here why are the axels comming out of the motor?

Naryar · « **Reply #51 on:** March 20, 2010, 05:23:34 PM »

It's RA2 - your bot's components can pass through other each other.

They are coming out of the axles because of the centrifugal force (obvious but still)

Chassis could be shrunk, and theoretically this could run on two ants. More is better though. One thing that I like to do is to angle down the discs to hit lower targets and protect motors.
You could at least try it to see how it works.

Naryar · « **Reply #53 on:** March 20, 2010, 05:43:28 PM »

Four ants !

SKBT · « **Reply #54 on:** March 20, 2010, 05:59:11 PM »

What else can I do with 6.5 KGS? That's what the 5th ant is for

Naryar · « **Reply #55 on:** March 20, 2010, 06:00:40 PM »

5 ants is ok.

SKBT · « **Reply #56 on:** March 20, 2010, 07:02:42 PM »

D:

What have I started?

Naryar · « **Reply #58 on:** March 21, 2010, 11:31:28 AM »

Be proud of it.

People starting to copy your designs is one of the many steps that lead to elite bot building.

lloopp D lloopp · « **Reply #59 on:** March 21, 2010, 11:33:45 AM »

I am proud.

:)

But I'm still not "elite".

I will NEVER be "elite".
