It's original but not really that good to be honest.
Most current LW FSS are much more advanced.
1. No need for large ant wheels, use wides/normal ant wheels
2. Could have a smaller chassis
3. Beater bar is pointless
4. Use 90 degree flails

Pretty much all that needs to be said.

The Smaller wheels kept havoking so I just raised the motors.

You cant see in the picture but the chassis size is perfect for housing the weapon motor.

I might aswell stop posting bots as whenever I post something someone else comes along and shunts my thread aside.

God why are you even complaining about this ? It's the forum's law of showcase interest.

Personally i nearly always check showcases first.

About the bot, i think you're wasting weight with a 13.3kg self-righter.

What should I use instead?

G.K. · « **Reply #248 on:** October 17, 2010, 01:43:32 PM »

Plastic extender.

Moar razors. Bane X has 12, and Stanley 2 has 10. You can get away with 8 and it will be good against most bots, but you risk being outweaponed by other HS. You can downgrade the chassis armor too to get weight.

I wonder how good using 2 razors per flail is compared to one razor per flail like most bots.

Or multiple carbon fibers. Also, just put another flail on, rather than having those extenders. That way if you lose a flail, you don't lose both weapons on that side.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #251 on:** October 17, 2010, 04:27:37 PM »

But the extenders are 1 kg lighter than an axle. It could add up... 4 of them is a whole additional axle's worth of weight. Take off the DSL bar, use a bit lighter armor and he could get 2 more axles + 2 more razors, which could be attached directly to the disc. Presto, 10 razors (with 3 ants!)

Like this?

Pwnator · « **Reply #253 on:** October 18, 2010, 02:51:51 AM »

Getting there, but swap the positions of the axles (the higher axles have the extenders while the lower ones don't). And while you're at it, rotate the lower rack 90-degrees so it can counter wedges.

*Cough*
I made a 12 flail razor shell spinner using only 4 flails (In the pile of old bot pics I posted a while back)
*Wait, lets not leave stag alone though*
OK, erm....

Stagfish · « **Reply #255 on:** October 18, 2010, 12:03:00 PM »

What should I do with the remaining weight?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #256 on:** October 18, 2010, 12:04:22 PM »

MOAR RAZORS!!!!!!!!!![/spam]

Vertigo · « **Reply #257 on:** October 18, 2010, 12:04:42 PM »

More razors? More chasis armour?

Thyrus · « **Reply #258 on:** October 18, 2010, 12:07:01 PM »

Funny how everyone is SC addicted :P

NFX · « **Reply #259 on:** October 18, 2010, 12:08:30 PM »

Looking at it from the side, use the double-razor setup on the middle panel and the one on the right, then wire it to spin left. I think that could work.
