Nice, another flipper builder!

-
If you need a bot painted/textured, just PM me, I am happy to help.
-

Go ahead, only way to get better is to try yourself!

Hey tim! Nice bot, looks quite good. However, you don't need two multi-extenders, i'm very sure that you can just attach the motor on without the 2nd multi-extender, saving you 6kgs for whatever you want.
-
I actually think the first bot was set up a little bit better, but he could drop the material on the flipper skirts to Aluminium, or Titanium if they're Steel, saving about 4 or 5 kg to get Plastic 3. Or maybe Tite 3 could be an option if he has enough weight.
-
thanks for the tips il mace sure il think of them whit my next bot

the are titanium
-
I would get rid of 2 ants. Saves 13 KG and then you could get Titanium 3 with the weight.

That'd leave him a bit underpwoered though, he could possibly get away with one less though.
-
yes I disagree with Badnik, I wouldnt drop it below 5 ants.. 6 is probably pretty good for this application
-
1 BSG requires at least 2 ants i would stick to 6 ants. making the chassis smaller might also help to get more weight.
side note: this is not his actual first bot, he's been getting tips from me from the start. this is just the first proper bot, and he finally got to showcasing.

Ah, that's good. In any case, drop from Titanium to Aluminium on the flipper skirts and upgrade the armor to Tite 3 if you can.
-
First bot was better.
And 6 ants is fine.

have to agree whit powerrave on this i made a lot of bots but they olé failed fricking hard

Darn I posted that around 10 at night after a long day... not thinking straight :gawe:

I remember Tim here entering in BBEANS 6 with Kill Box.
-
And with a fail SnS in TX Beetleweight... glad you have improved a fair bit.
-
he's been forcing advice from me! next time i'll ask money for it. another thing, look his Killbox from BBEANS6 (or he showcases it in here) and then look at my Nightbox2 (somewhere in my showcase/briefcase or get it from bot exchange).
-
i hade build killbock from scratche and dident edit nichtbocks
-
Explain again?
-
i hade builders killblock from scratche and diden't edit ?nichtbocks?
That's all I could understand.
-
have heard that excuse enough times. even if you didn't directly edit the chassis, then it is still a very cheap clone.
@KM: i once send him Nightbox2 (BW) so he could see how bots were supposed to be build. pretty soon after he had Killbox (LW), a robot with pretty much the same chassis, same battery placement and the same type of weapon setup.
and that's the explanation.
-
I think grammar and spelling need work here.
I do expect he posted from a touchscreen phone though.
EDIT:
This is another explanation for the grammar
-
nothing a spell check can't fix, right?
oh, and i dug up the two bots to take a close look. left=Nightbox2. right=Killbox.
(http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t146/powerrave_NL/N2KB.jpg)
KB chassis is bigger from what i saw. nice lot of empty space. still doesn't change the fact that is is a cheap clone.
-
Rave, It's very obvious that he's taken inspiration from you, but other than that, the two bots are actually quite different. Consider it Nightbox's deformed brother.
-
It's not a "clone" since the weapon setup is different.
-
it only has 2 extra angled plates on it, only to get it in lightweight class. for how far is that different?
other: MOAR BOTS! and i think i'll showcase Nightbox3 some time.
-

Enough to make a difference when inverted.
It IS similar to your bot, sure, and hence what I call a ripoff, but not a clone.
Plus, he can clone in order to learn when he's new.
-
i'm just going to take your word for it and shut up. i'm getting a headache.

Titanium.
You only need TWM3R's, NPC-64's are overkill. Make the chassis a bit smaller, and add more spikes.
-
I'd keep the npcs personally.
Tighten up the chasis, downgrade titanium extenders to aluminium and then add more razors.
-

titeniem extenders

No offense, but could you use a spellcheck?

No!

newer version
2ants
plastic3
-
GK is correct. Keep the NPC's, a rammer's strength lies in its speed.
Chassis could stand to be a bit smaller, and you could lighten up the extender work a little (2 razors per extender), but on the whole it's not too bad. Technically you only need 2 ants there, as well.
-
If you attach the weapons on a skirt hindge like the bot in the picture you can more weapons on for less weight
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/21180AA.png)
-
Yeah, as I said before keep the npcs but switch to aluminium extenders.
Also tighten up the chassis and then add more razors, probably like SKBT said, that seems the easiest way here.
-
NPCs >>> TWM3R Drives.
Anyways, not bad. It's underweight though, and you can make a smaller chassis.
-
bin long have sent it hearse my new bot
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/23601deadly pointer v3.jpg)
-
It's alright, but has a glaring weakness in drive. Make a bigger chassis and put your motors inside, so you'll have 12 kg more to play with (well less if you build another chassis, but still...
10 razors is also more than enough on a LW, unless you fall on a Gearhead-style rammer.
Also can you please develop your sentences so we can know what you precisely mean ?
-
its a cube class so i coldent mace it biger for my drive motors
-
Yeah, you need to work on your english, coherent sentences would be nice actually.
Anyway, you could easily fit slimbody drive into that chassis without rebuilding the chassis actually, so you should definately do that.
If you're gonna keep that long a weapon rack, you can safely get rid of the two side-mounted razorz as they are probably just going to be a nuissance as they're not really protecting anything. Also use the ctrl key to raise the rack up to the middle of the bot.

Hey, isn't this one of those guys who joined simply to enter BBEANS and do nothing else?

Nah, don't think so, I believe I can remember him posting a welcome thread or something like that, and I joined just after BBEANS sign-ups.
Shame I didn't know about this game a bit earlier, I could have entered BBEANS 6 :mrgreen:

No, he joined before you and he has entered several BBEANS IIRC
-
No way, he joined in feb!!
Why'd it take him so long to make a showcase then?
-
He only returns for big tournaments.

He only returns for big tournaments.
But that's what annoys me with big tournaments like BBEANS. A load of people who probably have only just got the game sign up, waste space with multiple SFTW entries, before quitting again, almost as suddenly as they came.
But then again, maybe we could accomodate them if we simply don't accept Sparkles' next entry, eh?
-
You never know, cory might not enter anything next time...
....although he probably will :mrgreen:

Tim isn't like this. He enters tournaments that he wants to. XBW wasn't big.

Knowing him, that'll be the case. And knowing is half the battle ;)
[G.I. JOOOOOOOOE]

BTW, who is Cory? I've heard this abbreviation a lot recently...
-

Sparkles' real name.

Ah, makes sense now XD
-
I've been calling him it since the last stupid thread he made for great trollice!
He also sent me a PM asking me to spell it correctly because I was putting an e in it :laughing

Yes, yes, very funny, I'm tired so you can't blame me. 'tis fixxxed now anyway :p

I just found it a bit ironic, really :P

-
Yeah GF, 'twas kinda ironic, but my grammar mistakes are usually caused by me typing to fast, Cory's were always due to his own failings :laughing
I never proof read my comments anyway because I don't really need to :p

Not bad. Not bad at all.
See if a version with mags + large ant wheels is better.

By better, I didn't just mean faster. With the free weight, you can upgrade your flippers (you might be able to use wide ant wheels as well). If it's fast enough for the wedge to be effective, go for it. If not, then you can just revert to your old setup.
