Wow, even with all that extender work it's unstable!?!
Anyway, why the vlads? wouldn't it be better to make the dsl bar shorter, and then add hammers instead?

I'm trying to make a MASSIVE HS.

Fair enough, OTT bots FTW ;P
I don't know how you could make it any more stable then, keeping it weapon size as it is ofcourse.

ololol. AGOD anywhere?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #944 on:** May 21, 2011, 12:21:46 PM »

Not, it just flips over when the weapon gets near to top speed.

Wha...Jye...Whaaaaaa...?

I need to make a clone of that.

It could always be havok. Try shortening the DSL Bar a little bit, see if that helps.

Weapon setup =

This isn't stock. Just use hammers and make it into an improved BLAH.

And the extenders reach right to the edge of the max sphere. So Vlad spikes are the longest viable weapon usable.

I thought Sais are longer?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #950 on:** May 22, 2011, 04:40:05 AM »

Sais?

Pwnator · « **Reply #951 on:** May 22, 2011, 04:40:48 AM »

Robot X Sais?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #952 on:** May 22, 2011, 04:42:00 AM »

Robot X swords? (WTF is a Sais?)
Really?
Will check when I can.

LOL, how was I supposed to know that?
Anyhow, any ideas as to the random instability?

Pwnator · « **Reply #955 on:** May 22, 2011, 04:50:25 AM »

Use hex plates instead of 40cm tite sheets and try to extend the stance as much as you can with flipper segments and 120 aluminum sheets.

Massive HS is massive.

Sai (did you even read that Wikipedia article you linked to Pwn; it's sai plural and singular, not sais) look longer than Vlad spikes but the collision is actually shorter. The tip of the sai doesn't collide. So Vlad spikes are the right choice here unless you want something with no normals.

For the instability... perhaps a tribar setup with less Vlad spikes per prong?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #957 on:** May 23, 2011, 02:35:15 AM »

Yeah, Pwn's idea didn't help the stability. Let's see if Click is better.

TYPHOON FLAG STABILIZERS.

But that's probably at the level of cheating as NARmour.
