Micro Bulldozer 2 looks awesome. And I'm not sure about the SH Blades.

Micro Bulldozer 2.2:

Aluminium 3

BTW, do slap happy blades have normals?
*Ahem*
The flippers will get knocked off before the BSG's most likely so move the DSL bar to protect the chassis or upgrade the drive.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

1- Slap blades are horrible weapons.
2- Slims with hypnos if you dont expose the TWM3R's.

Change to 3mm plastic; it's more efficient than 3mm aluminum.  With the weight gained, get stronger flipping arms, add more external armor, or a longer wedge, whichever possible.

These are amazing! You diffidently are taking to flippers. Though I am skeptical  about the ant. Also, what are the extenders doing on Nano Bulldozer?

The main reason that the dsl bar is there is so that it looks more like the other bulldozers :P, it does protect the chasis to some extent though

BTW, do slap happy blades have normals, & whats better, twm3rs with micro wheels, or slimbodies with hypnos?

1- Slap blades are horrible weapons.
2- Slims with hypnos if you dont expose the TWM3R's.
1) Thanks, I'll use overkill blades instead then
2) Thought so

Change to 3mm plastic; it's more efficient than 3mm aluminum.  With the weight gained, get stronger flipping arms, add more external armor, or a longer wedge, whichever possible.
OK then ;P

These are amazing! You diffidently are taking to flippers. Though I am skeptical  about the ant. Also, what are the extenders doing on Nano Bulldozer?
1) Thanks
2) I know :P
3) That is pretty much the best that can be done for an antweight flipper
4) Notice the side protection on HW & SHW Bulldozers? It is so that it somewhat looks like them. They also support the robot when it flips (stops it from tipping forward)

Now make a UHW Flipper :D
I've never made an UHW before, to much IMO
Besides which, the 6 team slots are full now

When I'd finished re-building my SHW flipper, I noticed this:

Any tips on how to get this to go away?

This happens all the freakin' time. There's no real way around it. I rebuild it, then leave the bot lab immediately.

Make a BSG wedge then. No AGOD guaranteed.

Tried, didn't work unfortunately

Not enough weight, are bsg wedges as good as hinged wedges



Tried replacing small wedge - dsl bar setup with tite sheets, that didn't work either

1-Then use less weight in battery power by batteries with better AMP/kg ratio than ant batteries (like PC545 or battlepacks) or/and remove some armor.

2-BSG wedges can be better or worse than metal hinges, depends of the weight distro. A 6WD bot like that is bound to have a less than awesome wedge anyways.

Press the Pause|Break button in the botlab, go to the test arena and return, then press Pause|Break again.

No more AGOD!
