It's still 10 amp per spin motor. This is in the exe and cannot be change.

The only thing that happen is the total power of ant got cut to 1/4th, so you probably not gonna get full power for more than 10 seconds. If you want to last 40 seconds like the old time, you need to fill your amp with small blacks.

Sounds reasonable. Are all batteries now more or less balanced?

Welcome back Urjak!

Thanks. It is good to be back.

Dude this is great! Looks insane.

Thanks. First bot I have made in quite a while, so it is good to know that I'm still on form.

Uhh, no?

Small black is the way to go, or battlepack if you really needed the amp. Orange and large black are bad because those kinna sizes won't fit in any modern bots, and ant has been nerfed to the point that they should be avoided if possible.

Also you might consider NAR3 if you want it to be somewhat more balanced.

Shame. Perhaps it just isn't possible to balance battery components. I will give NAR3 a look (must have come about during my absence).

Hello everybody.

I decided to enter BB7, so here are my entries. I'm pretty bad at IRL building, so feel free to criticize.

First up, an LW rammer:

Next, an MW hammer:

Next, an HW flipper:

Finally, an SHW Shell Spinner:

All burst motors are Judge version.

Not too keen on the wedge on the hammer, and I would probably swap out the sheets on the SS for a extender for more real life shenanigans personally, but they all look quite good.

I hear you on the wedge, but without it the bot is horrendously unstable when using the hammer. I figured there was nothing too un-IRL about it, so I kept it. As for the sheets, I wanted something symmetrical so that the bot has an easier time righting itself. A single extender would have been too thin, and using multiple extenders would have looked bizarre.

You probably want to slap 2 wheel slot decals on the LW.

Flat wedge plate is totally legit for a hammer-

Yay Mangle-Gore! My favorite BW right there.

Loving the LW.

Urjak! Long time no see man!

MassimoV · « **Reply #930 on:** June 27, 2013, 07:59:26 PM »

The BW seems to make it work because the wedge is the same width as the chassis.

LW: Looks really good, love the beater setup. Wheel slots would be cool though.
MW: I have no idea what to do to make the wedge not look so wonky, otherwise, I like it overall.
HW: Brilliant idea!
SHW: Strong and minimalistic, I like it.

Hello everybody!

I have been watching Dragoon's progress in BB7, and I must say I wasn't too happy with the aesthetics or the wasted shell panels, do I decided to redo the design. I give you Dragoon II:

For Dragoon II I redid the shell so that it was sloped, allowing me to still have a large size with only half the panels. I also mounted some strategically placed beater bars to protect the panels and offer some backup weaponry. The chassis has been shrunk and made more compact, and I also added a more IRL bent srimech bar.
