You could make it an undercutter with an turned-over baseplate anchor and get rid of the extenders to upgrade the stabilisers.

Either way you really need to upgrade the skirts

I've upgraded the skirts and all of the extenders to aluminium ones. I still have 10kgs to play with.

Try to get a few Beaters+LDS Teeth on there.

what you can do is put the extender holding the drive and skirt straight onto the disk to save moar weight.
You should only need 1 extender for the drive and skirt each side.

Move the baseplate anchor 1 notch up and get rid of the ME's holding the drive/skirts on and put them on the disk.

and there is that little problem of hex-plates not attaching to them :P

Then get better weapons and drive/make it invertible if you can.

You could use an ant sawblade as an intermediary component between the TWM3R and Hex Plate.

Weapon motor may be okay for now, but upgrade drive and wheels.

The Zephyr · « **Reply #67 on:** August 26, 2011, 11:14:15 AM »

I'll use your advice, NFX. I never thought of doing that.

ty4er · « **Reply #68 on:** August 26, 2011, 11:16:16 AM »

Have the weapons on the other side so they are closer to the middle.

You have the weight for lds+beaters, the weapon motor is fine as twm motors usually have low hp

powerrave · « **Reply #69 on:** August 26, 2011, 11:17:14 AM »

Can also still upgrade the extenders and/or skirts with the weight you still have.

NFX · « **Reply #70 on:** August 26, 2011, 11:18:00 AM »

I'd try 80cm angled panels for increased stability as well.

SKBT · « **Reply #71 on:** August 26, 2011, 11:19:32 AM »

Also use the magmotors that are not the right angle ones for drive. They have way more HP

The Zephyr · « **Reply #72 on:** August 26, 2011, 11:27:46 AM »

Also, I tried the other motors but they wouldn't fit. They overlapped and I don't have enough weight to move the extenders out slightly.

You could mount the regular TWMR Magmotors (The kinda S-shaped ones) on the side attachment point of the extender, using the end attachment point of the motor. This'll give you a wider stance, meaning more stability, and an increased turning speed. Even with Shiny Hubs, I reckon it could work.

Here's a tip: you can actually mount everything (sans the weapon setup) on the disc. The side APs can hold the angled skirts, the rear AP can hold a 40cm sheet that holds the TWMR drive. This is a bit risky, but it will totally trash most bots that can't reach the disc.

Those motors aren't very good for flipping. Use Spring Loaded Motors.

Absolute rubbish

Anyways, on your most recent bot, you should try a better setup as Pwn suggested, there should be no need for any extenders on the drive setup

4 ants, plastic 3 etc

Heheh. Pretty much just built it to test my axle loading skills.

The Zephyr · « **Reply #78 on:** August 29, 2011, 09:31:55 AM »

I changed the drive on the lw and it's goooooooood.

A MW this time. Uses the same setup as the LW. Piglets for the weapon motors, 2 discs on each one. 16 razors altogether.

Tite 5.

A selection of MW VS'.
