It drives on it`s side. that`s the reason for the servos. First it was a simple Wedge bot, then I added the bursts to make it work like St. Aggro or Wheely Big Cheese.

@ BloJoe: yeah I know it. I just don`t want to put it in like others *coughnarcough:P* but thanks anyway :D

a little update.
It has no servos anymore. It can`t drive left and right but forwards an backwards. I love it`s shape.

I think slim wheels look better on this.

are those the grey ones?

Normal Eteks for drive ? Fail !

Mr. Naryar:
Those are just for testing the the design, not for combat.

Here is one thing you could try to make it able to turm: Place one motor sideways compared to the other motors inside the chassis, so that when you spin it, it would rotate the bot. I did this in my early days when I noticed that my bot was too slow turning.

Thyrus · « **Reply #169 on:** January 30, 2010, 07:42:30 AM »

yeah that`s a great Idea. thanks.

Here some other modifications:

I`d love to build like that.

Great job Thyrus!

Thyrus · « **Reply #172 on:** January 30, 2010, 09:46:23 AM »

thanks Jon..Dawn... Don

Edit: while watchin that chassis... hmm i got an idea.

Nice stuff, did that sideways wheel idea work?

Thyrus · « **Reply #174 on:** January 31, 2010, 05:06:54 AM »

havn`t tested it but I will. I`ll post it when it works.

Thyrus · « **Reply #175 on:** February 05, 2010, 09:46:37 AM »

Still not done the turning thing on that other bot.

I wanted to build a LW flipper and that`s what came out.

any improvement tips?

Naryar · « **Reply #176 on:** February 05, 2010, 09:54:19 AM »

Can't believe you're using Piglets for drive...

Backlash wheels aren't especially good either.

Thyrus · « **Reply #177 on:** February 05, 2010, 09:56:35 AM »

It was more for design first. they already replaced by Hypnowheels. The drivemotors will be replaced too. Those are the only ones to fit into the chassis.

some tips for the power of the flipper?

Naryar · « **Reply #178 on:** February 05, 2010, 10:00:18 AM »

BSG, small JX or even double BSG.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #179 on:** February 05, 2010, 10:07:37 AM »

what Armour do we have ?

TWM should fit.

BSG's are better.. as Nary discovered they move faster and are lighter, my LW flipper uses dual BSG and it throws MW's pretty far
