Lurk around some showcases until you find some ideas, and pile them together into some bots. The main thing (imo) for irl bots is to make them look cool and fairly different.

That last bot just looks plain and boring now, i feel it'd look better with external wheels and a smaller bar
I'm not sure. I may as well drop the robot until I'm comfortable with building again. I don't know, I'm for some reason out of the mood "again." I'll see what I can do.

Think of a type of bot you don't see built much and try to build one, see how it goes, even just as an experiment. Those types of Bar HS are everywhere.

I guess. I will enter it a light weight, I'll see what I can make for a middle.

I got a Middle weight!

However, since Battlebox has a high ground before the robots fight...

It starts to tilt over, the blade then twist the robot... What should I do?

Looks pretty good, but I don't know what to do about your problem.

Is battlebox 3.0 better? Like are the robots closer to the ground?
And Naryar, what do you mean by... "Stabilizers"?
Also, thanks guys.  :gawe:

There's a way to keep that from happening. Just lower the range value in your AI bindings.

Are you spinning the weapon before the bot hits the ground?

And by stabilizers he literally means stabilizers. Things that stick out to stabilize the bot.

Range value, hm? Okay, I'll see what I can do.

@Craaig, no. As soon as the match starts, I then press the spin button (just like how AI would do it). BTW, the stabilizers. If range doesn't doesn't work, may have to do the stabilizers.

Yeah you need to stop the bot spinning the weapon just until the bot hits the ground by lowering the range at which it'll start spinning the blade ('Range').

Why do I love this a lot?
Probably because this is one of my best looking bots (behind Chrono Basho V2). Thanks man!

BTW, the range is set to 30, and is working okay :dance:. If anything else happens, I'll try and get MassimoV if he notices the robot going crazy, and set the range lower once I give him them

My Heavyweight! It looks fine to me. Probably a bit messy.

However...

I'm way too lazy. MassimoV, is it okay to accept that?

Well, I have a SuperHeavy. I'm in need of weight.

I think wheelguards would eat up at least some of the 100 kg you have left.

I attempted wheel guards only to rage and fail. I need help. (The damn Multi-extender sometimes pisses me off.)
Any robots with a good idea of wheel guards?

Do the 'supports' actually connect to anything static? I'm guessing those discs spin, so the supports aren't supporting the axle.

So I have to restart with the supports, then? Oh god... I'll see what I can do. Any idea on how I could make my Wheel guards?
