Doing it wrong on the drive.

what do you mean? it got 4wd npc-f, and the shinies is because i ran out of weight(i've already did a half of NFX advice of changing to minis though, i'll post a picture of it doing NFXes advice along with the pic of the bot that i'm going to use on my challenge with Lightning S)

Naryar · « **Reply #63 on:** May 04, 2012, 12:39:26 AM »

Shinies are a waste. Go 3WD NPCF+ Hypnos/Vlads or 2WD NPCF+Technos.

what i think about those drives:
3WD NPCF +Hypnos/Vlads : no. i just don't want it because when the count down clock starts, you can't escapes the timer because you can't move forward/backward(and also it's unrealistic(yeah i know Y-pout, but that bot is built by team Whyachi, whose designs are sometimes nonsenseical and all the time expensive)
2WD NPCF + Technos: well okay, but i'm not sure about the bots turning speed. will it be slower then the 3WD combo?

Naryar · « **Reply #65 on:** May 04, 2012, 05:21:09 AM »

Yes it will, and you will save a lot of weight. Beware of stability issues though with 2WD.

NFX · « **Reply #66 on:** May 04, 2012, 05:26:30 AM »

You can still move forwards and backwards with a 3WD bot, just wire up the two motors that aren't perpendicular to the direciton of motion in the same way you'd wire up a normal 2WD bot.

Turning speed compared between a 2WD and a 3WD bot with the same motors comes down to wheel choice. a 2WD bot with Technos will have a very slightly higher turnspeed than a 3WD bot with Hypno Wheels (2.3 x 2 against 1.5 x 3), and you do save a lot of weight with it for weaponry. However, you do pay the price with stability, and fewer arms means the opponent is more likely to get in towards your vulnerable chassis and wheels.

guys, can you help me plz? while i was making a MW Poker, i stumbled at this UBER AGOD:

Naryar · « **Reply #68 on:** May 05, 2012, 01:04:39 AM »

Remove offending part, rebuild.

If it doesn't work, rebuild the whole thing.

I guess you're trying to make a poker weapon through a static plow. Yeah, applying snapper loading to pistons tends to make a mess of this bot.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #69 on:** May 05, 2012, 07:00:09 PM »

did you try pausing + going to botlab and back while building the bot ?

Gauche Suede · « **Reply #70 on:** May 07, 2012, 09:42:44 PM »

2 robots today:
1. Midnight Sky 5 (this is the bot that i'm going to use in my challenge against Lightning S)

2.Midnight Star 3

i stacked the ant batts, so there's actually 2 of them.

No need for the bigger batteries on midnight sky and midnight starlooks really good.

*ahem* BSG-200 needs 24.5 Amps= 3 ants or 1 Battlepack
a Battlepack has 28 Amps for 15 kgs
3 ants has 30 amps for 19.5 kgs

Mr. AS · « **Reply #73 on:** May 08, 2012, 05:38:22 AM »

midnight sky needs to be wedged like fast n furious so opponents can get on top of you and you can gutrip them

NFX · « **Reply #74 on:** May 08, 2012, 07:02:34 AM »

For Midnight Sky, you could attach the wedges the other way, so they don't overlap and screw each other up, plus give you wider coverage. Also remove the pointless Side Panel on the back, and the Battlepacks as well, to get some more ants in there. You need a minimum of 12 in this bot to fully power everything.

Midnight Star, on the other hand, looks very good indeed. I would be a bit concerned about the side panels coming off before the axles do, especially if it's an SnS. How does it do for stability when it's inverted?

Gauche Suede · « **Reply #75 on:** May 08, 2012, 09:40:35 PM »

@ Lightning S
no, they are ants, i've accidently placed them so that you'll think that they are darkcell batts.(actually the ones you think are darkcells are in fact 2 ants placed vertically, and then i've put an ant on top of them.)

@NFX
nah, during testing(it raped every MW in 123AI except the popups,half of the SnSes, SnSnSes, and TRFBDs. and it beaten everything in NARAI that doesn't have a killdozer plow),the axles always come off first. and it's very stable even when inverted.

just wanna ask, for a HW true popup, how many razors max/BSG can i have and still be considerably good?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #77 on:** May 08, 2012, 09:49:55 PM »

I'd say around 8, but I've never built a popup in DSL that weighs anything more than 250 kg so I wouldn't know.

NFX · « **Reply #78 on:** May 09, 2012, 04:23:13 AM »

An HW True Popup tends to almost always have 4 BGSs, each with 3 razors on them. It depends on what style of popup you're wanting to build, though. You could go down the Seism 13 route, where you invest more weight in defense than attack, or you can go down the R4 route, and stick as many weapons on it as you can at the cost of external protection. Each will perform well against certain bot types, and each will have their weaknesses. I always try to strike a good balance between the two, though, it creates a more well-rounded bot, with hopefully no obvious weaknesses to exploit.

here's a new VS:

yeah i know it's generic but it can still tore bots aaapart:
