You guys may notice my I don't improvments just read other peoples post and use imagination.
Okay time for my first BW..Aphrodite

A little bit unstable ,but if this makes contact, it could be deadly
5mm plastic
Another bot called Achilles, its a SHW

10mm tite. Like the myth Achilles this bot has a weak point or does it?

For the BW, try swapping the heights of the ant and the copals. That should make it harder to kill. A BW's 180kg, right?

As for the SHW though, I'm not quite happy with it. Hammer/poker hybrids are not quite effective. And as usual, concentrate on the hammer (and not the rear disc) and add some wedges.

BWs are 125kg-175kg

Oh yeah. Now I remember. My bad. XD

Oh yeah. You could lower the chassis height and put the piglet on the baseplate instead.

No weakness? i doubt that

trumpetguy · « **Reply #45 on:** June 12, 2009, 11:21:27 PM »

Yeah it does mainly the sides
Ok things I learned
-Empty space=bad
-lower chassis=good
-hammer/poker hybrid=not really good
-Piglet for drive=really bad
-I suck at calculating voltage=very very bad.

For your BW, either raise your motors or get smaller wheels to reduce your ground clearence.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #48 on:** June 13, 2009, 10:04:36 AM »

with the Beta Hammer motor wont that make the hammer go through the disc on the back ?

Reier · « **Reply #49 on:** June 13, 2009, 10:59:44 AM »

It might be the spring loaded one.

Naryar · « **Reply #50 on:** June 13, 2009, 11:39:42 AM »

That is a spring Beta.

I am posting 2 bots soon (when I can figure out backdrops or backgrounds), I just have a question most of the time my flippers and pop-ups I'm making after one flip it gets stuck and eventually get back (Independence of Maihelm Jr. is one example).So help.

Pwnator · « **Reply #52 on:** June 22, 2009, 04:36:27 AM »

By getting stuck, you mean the wedges get stuck under the arena walls?

trumpetguy · « **Reply #53 on:** June 25, 2009, 03:09:53 PM »

No I mean stuck in the air.

trumpetguy · « **Reply #54 on:** June 26, 2009, 08:13:12 PM »

Still can't solve the problem
New bot, My Planet's Orbit

Edit:Forgot insides

Edit2:Oh crap...I can't copy images..I have no more memory.

Doomkiller · « **Reply #55 on:** June 26, 2009, 10:33:19 PM »

not too sure about that. The ploy skirts will be easily ripped off..
never thought of a FS/SNS hyprid though

trumpetguy · « **Reply #56 on:** June 26, 2009, 11:11:09 PM »

I always have a back up, I don't think you can notice the Vlad spikes?

Naryar · « **Reply #57 on:** June 27, 2009, 02:38:19 AM »

FS/SnS hybrid = worthless
