Yes, Ripoff is invertible. And the extenders don't get torn off as quickly as you might think. It survives most matches and wins them. However it did lose badly against Shebeast...

And thanks for the feedback again. I'll keep that about the wheels in mind.

Citezen Insane

New bot, sort of a clone of Steel Meatball, but I think I've perfected the self righter. Also added a half sheet underneeth.

Hypno wheels
Slimbody motors (tried others but I couldn't get them to fit properly)
Plastic 1, although I could probably use stronger.

Try to get 1mm Ti at the very least and get rid of that half sheet.

As well as using polycarbonate skirts for your self-righter.

This what you meant?

1mm Steel

Wicked Child

Heres a MW version somewhat reminiscent of Iron Spagetti.

Slim drives, hypno wheels, TWM3R2, 3mm Steel

I thought FBS doesn't require such strong armour.

That's gonna have some mighty problems steering.

Just what I was thinking. Very hard to AI properly....

Weirdo · « **Reply #27 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:55:55 AM »

Hmm, might try and reposition the wheels. On both bots or are you just on about WC?

And which self righter method do you think would work best?

Heres a bot called Polychrome

I think its actually pretty good, the wedges capable of getting under scout and Slashback without too much trouble. Generic, but its my first popup in DSL. Aluminium 3. I think.

Naryar · « **Reply #29 on:** July 18, 2009, 07:37:10 AM »

Too slow, especially with a popup that tall.

Weirdo · « **Reply #30 on:** July 19, 2009, 06:37:31 AM »

Ok then, still learning. What drive would you suggest I use?

Pwnator · « **Reply #31 on:** July 19, 2009, 06:45:13 AM »

For MW, NPCFs with Hypnos would be best.

Also, make it lower and use battlepacks so you can have a smaller chassis while actually having less weight than a tall one with the odyssey batt.
