1. Ya only need 3 ants.
2. Build to the legal SHW limit
3. Empty space
4. Unnecessary aluminum connectors
5. Needs Grippier wheels
6. More weapons
7. BP anchors suck hard
8. What is the armor?
9. Can we see the entire bot?
That is all.

Actually, anchors don't suck. Anglers do.

But from what I can see here, Your extender work is incredibly messy. If you want it to be easier, just think of a real-life bot, imagine a 'skeleton' version of it, and replicate it here.

1. Ya only need 3 ants. Ok
2. Build to the legal SHW limit you have to?
3. Empty space it needs stability
4. Unnecessary aluminum connectors stability
5. Needs Grippier wheels thoose are grippy for me.
6. More weapons no, that thing has a 2o foot VS, it does not
7. BP anchors suck hardthen what else?
8. What is the armor? almunium 5 (need to change)
9. Can we see the entire bot? yep
That is all.

You don't need such a large chassis for stability. It's just a bigger target for gut-rippers. If you want stability, shrink the whole thing and use DSL bars and steel sheets.

You should really check othe VS designs that others have built...

Also, nothing beats heavy ramplates.

Even better if they are on skirt hinges or attached to a baseplate extender.

Talk to Jules.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #147 on:** March 20, 2010, 12:52:45 PM »

you wanna know who it is? jules

TriTon · « **Reply #148 on:** March 20, 2010, 12:59:27 PM »

He knows Jules is the best person to talk to, don't be rude to him. But I forgot that you have no respect for anyone on this forum, so you flame him for saying what's the right thing to do.

Naryar · « **Reply #149 on:** March 20, 2010, 01:21:04 PM »

Jules isn't a top builder anymore... if you want help on VS, try Pwn, 123 or Ounce.

Just use PC545s instead of ants. It's more efficient that way.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #152 on:** March 20, 2010, 10:49:57 PM »

anything else? (I tink it's eeaer to get alot of advice at once then rebuild, instead of then rebuild, advice, rebuild, advice....)

Congrats on reaching the elisuve weight limit. Only thing I would change is take the small wedge off of the flipper and put polycarb sheets on a hindge to make a better wedge and increase the stance of the bot it will then probaly launch them higher. ~~Use orange or large black batteries.~~ already been said.

Not sure about this but maybe Vlad or tornado wheels instead. (need another to comfirm this)

Pwnator · « **Reply #154 on:** March 20, 2010, 10:53:14 PM »

Technos would work on this. And instead of SK's suggestion on poly sheets, use small wedges like you did on the flippers.

SKBT · « **Reply #156 on:** March 20, 2010, 11:14:40 PM »

Looks good!! Try to switch out more ants for the big orange batteries. If you save any weight increase the armor.

Having fun tonight? Going to guess weight 424kgs?

Raise wedge on Axel thing to top
stronger weapon motors
attach plow to skirt hindge
use more weapons
place bottom armor on it if you want to waste weight or if it needs protection
lower chasis height

if you want to pull the low weight trick off better use an antibalast and the text from a lightweight.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #159 on:** March 20, 2010, 11:50:10 PM »

lol he's 624

the axle is on the top
