You probably should've gotten the bots ready BEFORE you posted.

Get rid of the ballasts. Use a Titanium extender.

Posting from school again LOL.

overpwred?

Better than your stock bots.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 12, 2010, 04:21:41 PM »

can I leave the ballasts? 'cause when I take them out, it kicks its self back every time I flip, and gets stuck.

ALSO: where the

are the wedges? I forgot what there under, and can't find them

Remove the ballasts & Put everything back there, The batts & Everything... Put them above the motors, Where you have the ballasts.

So you wont loose weight on them but still have enough weight to keep your bot stable :P

Also, You can shrink that chassis alot...
THink of it this way:
Imagine all the inner-chassis parts youre gonna use in the bot.
Put them above eachother (In your mind)
And press them against eachother as much as you can...

I prefer building the flattest chassis possible, But maybe you like to make small bases & Put everything on eachother :P

K, I did this before you posted that, so I'll post it anyway

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 12, 2010, 04:55:07 PM »

this was the farthest back I could get everything, guess I'm finnaly making the chassis small anough lol

You can use 2/4 ant batteries for this.

SKBT · « **Reply #14 on:** February 12, 2010, 05:03:24 PM »

You have about 66kgs to spare. Use remaining weight to add secondary wedges on hindges or use weight to increase armor.

...burst motor. That cannot do. The more batteries the better (I'd say at least 6 ants, and likely more).

G.K. · « **Reply #16 on:** February 12, 2010, 05:08:27 PM »

Oopps, missed the burst.

LiNcK · « **Reply #17 on:** February 12, 2010, 05:16:20 PM »

Hmm... I like symmetrical bots better but if you couldent fit those batts above the NPCs ok then :P

Also, Use Multi-Extenders (Those Black & Red Extenders) instead of those Anchor Extenders, Theyre 1KG lighter & theyre smaller.

You could put 2 Door Hinge Wedges on that & The actual flipper wedge...

You can make the cahssis less wide, By changing the Control Board's position or rotating it...

And if you can, You may also flatten the chassis, IDK if the Red Battz use all the chassis' height :P

Also, There could be a way of using ony 1 Half Sheet to defend the front part of the bot...
Itll take a bit of a heavy extender work, But its lighter than a 2nd sheet :P
But itll also provide less defence, So IDK.

You need more flipping power for an MW. Throw in another burst motor.

k, I changed the armour to titanium 5, will do that later, here is this guy I built last night:
