Overpowered, and get Magmotors for weapons. It could be also much more compact, and you could use the blue control board. Also static wedges suck.

You're improving.

not bad.
just use the blue control board and as naryar said, static wedges suck
as for the weapon motor just change the weapons to razer tips. just see Entrapment :)

This might just be me being picky, but: the disks are off centre.

trumpetguy · « **Reply #24 on:** May 31, 2009, 11:28:21 AM »

Yes they are off center, hey I'm 12 I'm not neat.

Weirdo · « **Reply #25 on:** May 31, 2009, 11:31:40 AM »

Well you could at least try...
Even if it doesn't affect your bot, it really doesn't look good.

@doomkiller:razor tips are brittle with 1000 hp and iron spikes have 3000 hp but razer tips have 400 dp and iron spikes have 300 dp.
@wierdo: nobody's perfect.......while building combat robots.

Trumpetguy stop hiding behind sayings like "Nobody's perfect".

Yes nobody is perfect, but Weirdo while being picky is RIGHT.

Offcenter weapons make your bot less symmetric, and the more symmetric your bot is, the better it drives.

Now if you want to let them off-center, fine, just say it.

I learned something new today well thanks I update it to make it as much symetrical as I can.

Another choice for Clash Cubes

I think the way you connected the front motor makes it easy to rip off.

trumpetguy · « **Reply #31 on:** June 02, 2009, 07:35:14 PM »

What is your sugggestion?, because anglers are pretty brittle.

Flying_Chao · « **Reply #32 on:** June 02, 2009, 07:40:02 PM »

Make the first extender be the one that goes up, and make the second one go forward.

roboman2444 · « **Reply #33 on:** June 02, 2009, 07:40:23 PM »

use the baseplate extenders different angles and move the battery over it up.

Reier · « **Reply #34 on:** June 03, 2009, 11:54:21 AM »

The side motors barley have any reach from what it looks like, maybe you should turn it 180.

Updates made and if you notice I started a stock version and I'll enlarge the picture in the crappy splash later.
Heres my new crappy creation (yeah I'm feeling negative today since my team lost) EXOR LVL 885

My second robot of day
Flailing Champ

Weirdo · « **Reply #37 on:** June 11, 2009, 01:01:12 PM »

Sorry if I bring your mood down even lower, but the space management on both of those bots is quite bad.

trumpetguy · « **Reply #38 on:** June 11, 2009, 05:08:53 PM »

For Flailing Champ I lowered the chassis and compacted the space a little better.

Pwnator · « **Reply #39 on:** June 11, 2009, 09:47:24 PM »

I got a better idea for Flailing Champ. Naryar told me before that SnS doesn't need that much battery power. So try using NPC (or fasts, if possible) and use Vlad/Tornado wheels while still using 2 ants. Then instead of a baseplate anchor, use the multiextender instead and attach the axle mount directly to it.

And since the bot only spins in one direction, the other side of the flail is pointless. So just put all the weapons to a specific side. You can downgrade the extenders to titanium if you're short on weight.
