More Supports. Not sure if enough XD

You do know that adding more supports doesn't make it more realistic right?

Welp, I have a WAY better IRL now.  I call it The Ingot.

Cruiser Weight, 10mm Steel.  Dropping armor doesn't really reduce weight, low battery life.

oh yeah ants are terrible in 2.2 and one of the ants is inside the slim motor. Make the chassis a bit bigger and get rid of the useless steel10

I'll be amazed if that bar doesn't slice through a bunch of internals too. Great progress though!

You could possibly afford better weaponry or drive if you weaken the armour a bit. With a shell spinner, if anything is hitting your chassis then the shell isn't working oh so well. If you get what I mean.

I would recommend some sort of 'flag' on the machine that either comes through the centre of the shell or is mounted to the top of the shell. Preferably the first, using CF you could put an anchor where the mag axle is and then mount a static 'flag' to the top. This can be used to both point in the direction of travel (useful if you're driving it) and as a self righting aid.

I do have that Aluminium Skirt showing the way at the front, but maybe a flag would be better.

and yes. 2WD NPCF + wide ant wheels is just fine.  i guess you can go normal npc's too if you need the weight.

From the tutorial index.
And if you send a skinned component to a tournament, how do you do that?
Edit How do you turn a BMP into a GMF?

Ok, sorry for double post, but I have NO IDEA how to convert a picture of Bacon to a texture for a skirt.  I have no way of converting files to BMF, and I have no BMF Editor.  Can anybody help me?
