Scrapped typhoon - accidently deleted it

so now working on a shell spinner.

BUMP! NEW BOT!

Ahem. Lightweight flail shell spinner; Project Carbon. Piglet, 3 ants, 2 astroflights w/ small ant wheels, plastic 1. NOT HAPPY WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS BOT (can't beat Hammerhead Shark D:). So, I beg the question; how do I improve it?

USE A MAG AND ~~TASTE~~ FEEL THE DIFFERENCE

DP. Done. Switched the 3 ant to a battlepack to save weight.

You'll need 3 ants actually. A battlepack is the equivalent of 2.5 ants, so it's underpowered.

If I do that it's a MW. Any weight-shedding tips?

Circular chassis' waste a bit of weight, try using a T-shape instead.

Shorten the CF extender, and either shrink the chassis around the components, or lower the armour if it keeps havoking.

Risky because of havok. I would recommend dropping to one wheel drive.

Well, you would...=P

Thanks NFX, but now I'm confused. What's the CF extender? (and I can't shrink the chassis because it the lowest it can be and I need it to be that width because I'm using a TWM3R and the axle needs to be in the centre, and the armour is plastic 1 IIRC)

Everyone, please don't argue about opinion on what I should do. All it does is confuse me

CF = Carbon Fiber. The big long brown and black thing on top.

And by "shrink", we normally mean reduce the surface area of the baseplate so that the components just fit and not much more.

derp. Thanks, NFX.

Bump. Need help. MW flipper setup; which burst motor is best? I tried 2 mag snappers but that failed.

ty4er · « **Reply #55 on:** August 29, 2011, 12:27:52 PM »

mag snappers fail, you'd want bsg's instead.

However, for a MW you would want 1 beta or a couple of jx's

Unless you want to use bsgs...

Tbh just stick with a beta if you can build it :P

NFX · « **Reply #56 on:** August 29, 2011, 12:28:33 PM »

Mag Snappers are quite bad. Same as BSG's, just heavier.

Ok, bsg's failed as well so I'll try betas and JX bursts.

Four BSGs or two JX's. A Beta is generally not worth it because it's just too heavy and large and power draining to be used to good effect in a MW. Sure you CAN build a MW beta flipper, and you can even make it decent, but it's either too slow or fragile or underpowered.

Plus standard betas have standard hitpoints. A hit on them will make them smoke, cutting their torque in half.

SKBT, SM and all those have managed npc+hypnos with full power iirc :P

It's a bit of if you want to be offensive without any defences or not.
