RammingSpeed · « **Reply #42 on:** April 14, 2012, 11:29:00 AM »

Are those NPCFs?

JX's aren't as efficient as BSGs in terms of weight, rule of seven, battery load, and chassis height. Try using them instead (4 BSGs pack a heavy punch).

1.if i use ti1 it'll be around 786 kg, which i can't mount anything or add another armor.
2.if so, why does this bot is inefficient and insufficient?
3.because after i tried FB's cheat mode, it failed, then it mysteriously unlocked all of the stock parts.

i was talking about the armor, make it titanium (ti 3 is only avarage tho) or plastic (try to stay away from 1 mm armor on hw's)

Use lighter burst motors for a start, like someone else already said. Also, at this moment it probably doesn't have enough battery power in there.

Guys, my laptop is getting fixed, so i'll won't post any new bots for a while. However, i'm now downloading DSL into my dad's USB(from my dad's laptop) so that i'll have a backup if my laptop's permanently damaged(which i'm sure for 99.9999999%). But, Midnight Sky 2 is finished, and will get a rebuild.(Midnight Sky 2 is basically the same but as Midnight Sky but with one Tite Sheet for protection, 16 Razors on 4 BSGs, and a wheel guard)

Gauche Suede · « **Reply #48 on:** April 22, 2012, 09:07:01 AM »

so yeah, got DSL downloaded into my dad's USB, and then added the DSL BBEANS AI pack to it, and here we go:
Midnight Star 3.1:

Plastic 3 Armor
and... unlike Midnight Star 1 and 2, this bot can now self right!

Good! Looks a lot like my BTTB4 bot.
How many battlepacks? Also, I'd shorten the wedges slightly so you're harder to flank.

3 Battlepacks, 7 ants.
i'm having abit trouble with this bot. Everytime the match starts, i have to lower the metal hinges down to make sure that the bot moves straight.(which makes it unuseable for AI tournaments)how do i fix it?
and uh by the way, can i see your BTTB 4 Bot?

madman3 · « **Reply #51 on:** April 22, 2012, 09:31:30 AM »

Mine's Shovel Headed Blockbuster.

Anyway, just rebuild your wedges. Your skirts holding the ploughs might also be lifting your front end up due to their odd collision mesh, but I can't really see.

do you have any tips on how to rebuild the wedge with?
and, this bot doesn't have 1 plow, but 2 plows!

madman3 · « **Reply #53 on:** April 22, 2012, 10:05:13 AM »

Ahh, I think the mesh of the skirt hinge holding the lower plough is raising up the front of your bot. I'd use the hinge so that the plough is further forward (but not so the tip is below the bottom of the chassis).
Also, just remove the components on the metal hinges and the metal hinges themselves and replace them with an identical set of components. Sometimes AGOD just strikes rather randomly.

Lets try another one!
Al 1
4 Ants
a complete glass cannon

Not bad. Few things can be done to improve it, though.

Firstly, you could rotate the ME's to all face outwards, so you don't have to use the poly extenders on top. That'll save you 8kg right off the bat. You could also move the motors and wheels inward, so there's less chance of them being hit, and protect the chassis a little. I might consider dropping to Minis, it should still be invertible, and pretty much just as fast. That will give you another 8kg, that's 16kg to either upgrade the armour (which might be prudent, given how fragile it is), or add some extra weaponry.

Why have you got irregular wheels?
