I tried that, but it wasn't stable enough, but I was able to remove the back 80cm skirt & replace it with a 40cm skirt, thus saving 2kg, thus allowing me to get plastic 5!!!!!!!!!!

Rioting Defense,
Titanium 3, 4 ant batts, npc fasts with dsl wheel 1s, 18 irons,
3 ants because (as its a rammer) it needs to be able to move fast for an entire 3 min long fight (3 ants wasn't quite enough)
Unfortunately, this doesn't perform nearly as well as I expected it to.

Change DSL wheels to hypnos (more grip)

Vertigo · « **Reply #123 on:** June 13, 2010, 10:50:42 AM »

I tried that but when ever it went forwardit tipped forward & therefore the wheels were no longer touching the ground, with DSLwheels the spikes are touching the ground so this doesn't happen.

Twist some of the extenders so that the spikes touch the ground thus stabling the bot.

Rioting Defense 3:

Same statistics, but now with hypnos & 14 irons & 2 ice picks.
With hypnos, it isn't invertible so now it also has a srimech for obvious reasons.
Much better than the original! :D

Not bad, but why making it a true popup hybrid when you have no wedge ?

If you want to make it such a design (that is quite awesome btw), your best bet is to follow the Slashback v3 setup.

It isn't a popup, its a rammer
Only one iron moves, & that is for the srimech

Naryar · « **Reply #128 on:** June 13, 2010, 12:50:55 PM »

Rammers with srimech = fail, enough said. Weight wasted when you can easily make it invertible.

How can you make npc's with hypnos invertible?

Naryar · « **Reply #130 on:** June 13, 2010, 12:57:23 PM »

By having the lowest chassis height possible. Click exactly on the pixel under the bottom end of the height ruler. Should be working.

Vertigo · « **Reply #131 on:** June 13, 2010, 01:01:21 PM »

That chasis height is too low for NPCs

G.K. · « **Reply #132 on:** June 13, 2010, 01:05:36 PM »

It isn't.

Naryar · « **Reply #133 on:** June 13, 2010, 01:16:42 PM »

Go and check all the rammers that have been done with NPCs and Hypnos and are still invertible. Lightning Assassin is, Erebus is, Darkling is, Blade Barrier is, what else ???

Vertigo · « **Reply #134 on:** June 13, 2010, 01:24:49 PM »

OK, I'll try it again.
BTW, I just downloaded NAR AI, a lot more challenging than the DSL AI!
Atleast I beat hazcon :P

Hazcon has been outdated by 2 years. Try fighting some of the other teams.

What you do to get the chassis as low as possible:

Drag the slider up as HIGH as it will go. Then, click the lowest pixel on the slider, it will go lower than what you have.

I already knew that, but when I do that, I can't attatch NPCs.
I'll try again.

Dunno why you can't. I can, and I'm sure others can.

Vertigo · « **Reply #139 on:** June 13, 2010, 03:20:41 PM »

Lowest possible chasis hieght
