You know, your bot would look and perform better if it's symmetrical. :P

As for the MW, you based it on DOAM, perhaps? XD

I would've used razors for stock, but I'm kinda worried about the stability when a few razors get knocked out. Personally, I prefer hammers (I intended to use DS teeth on Dark Matter but they were too brittle for my liking) but it's your bot. And if the weight distribution is good, you won't need the rear stabilizer anymore (plus, I think that prevents it from self-righting well).

Oh, and having the weapons as close to the ground as possible helps a lot. :D

Mako is not hard to clone, and your origonal VK looked alot like it. I know you didn't intend to clone it, but a lot of people do this -make bot look-a-likes without realising- and its a lot easier if you don't make a fuss. If you see anyone accusing, or more likely pointing out, that its a 'clone', either just let it pass or go "oops! My bad..." and get on with making it better.

Sorry about that little rant there.

As for the bot, I can only say what Pwn said, but I'll stress that it NEEDS to be symmetrical.

Now By symertical I guessing you mean move the right weapon setup over? As for the razor's they work way better then I thought, They shred bots to pieces:evil:. When they fall off the bot is not really unstable. Ya for the rear I put those on because I'm still new to making bots and was the only way I knew how to stablize. I'm going to take your advice about the weight distrubution and lose the rear panels. Ill post screen shots when I finish for more help.

The only fuss was I just wanted help so I can make better bots and learn, I just find posts like those unhelpful and a waste of space. And yes I'm going to try and make it symetrical.

At Pwnator and weirdo the symetrical advice really help thanks so much:approve:. VK is the most powerful bot I made so far, the 24 razors just rips through bots like cheese on a cheese grader:evil:. I fixed the name because I spelled it wrong lol, I also got rid of the rear panels. I'm always open for tips and suggestions to improve my bots:smiley:.

Weirdo · « **Reply #44 on:** August 19, 2009, 05:22:31 PM »

I know you were told to get rid of the rear panels but... is it still stable?

1mm titanium

This is my first SNS:-D. I want to thank Doomaster for letting me use Dodongo as a referrence because I had no idea how to make a SnS lol. Does really well against the LW'S. I'm still trying to decide to use Legend Killer or Angel Of Death in BEANS6 and the TAG TEAM 2:evil:. All ears for tips and suugestions:smiley:.

Replace the multi-extender with a stronger extender.

hmm your right it didn't even cross my mind, I think the only ones I would be able to use are the poly and the aluminum because of the weight.

And doesn't the razer block out the meat tenderizer?

russian roulette · « **Reply #50 on:** August 24, 2009, 11:33:11 PM »

Use 30 kg hammers and take away the razors. Also the chassis could be a little bit smaller to save some weight. Finally, are the NPCs fasts or regular?

actually they don't,the razors are a secondary offense when the hammers fall off

@ RR Ill do some trial runs to see if they work better I was trying to be original and do something different thats why I went with the current weapon setup, They are NPC Fast and as for the chassis look how small it is now??? If you can make it smaller then kudos to you lol:smiley:.

haha i'm suprised i can still type 20 shots deep in a bottle of GreyGoose:evil:

thanks for the post I like when I get posts that help improve my bots:-D.

Viper89 · « **Reply #52 on:** August 25, 2009, 06:23:29 PM »

I attempted to hide the wheels better but I failed miserably, they fall off way faster than the first version:angry:. Any ideas on how to protect the wheels better:?.

russian roulette · « **Reply #53 on:** August 25, 2009, 06:52:51 PM »

If you reverse the setup and have the razors go on the outside then the chassis will be better protected.

LiNcK · « **Reply #54 on:** August 25, 2009, 07:25:52 PM »

I think i know how to get the wheels closer to the chassis:

Instead of using 80cm (Or whatever the lengt) bars... use 2 40cm of them or something..
You have more atachement points i think..?

IDK much of DSL bars :P

Interesting take on the SnS.
Are you using the "Fast" version of the NPC?
They are much more sexier than the regular ones (just kidding, but the NPC-Fasts ARE more effective).

Ya i'm using the fast ones:smiley:.

The armour and the insides are still the same.

I like this version alot, I don't think anybody has made a HW like this:evil:. I got rid of the skirts in the back to self right,changed the wheels to fatboy's because the spike ones were way to gripy and made the bot tip backward when droven, changed the side plows to mediums, I changed the front weapon setup up with 2 NPC's and 2 Sirkillalot Drills:evil:. Does very well in battle too:-D.

LiNcK · « **Reply #59 on:** August 26, 2009, 06:00:35 PM »

Angel Of Death = Best LW Ever... :')
Also, You could use techno's as wheels, IDK if they are more grippy... But the dont do what Big Cheese wheels do
(Go super fast & climb walls in an uncontrollable chaos)
