Lot's of empty space, Mate. =/

Yeah, I was pretty much just testing the Trov glitch.

I find it ironic that the Trov glitch is intended to save weight, then you've filled it up with a bunch of nothing.

Lower the chassis height, that should be your first thing. A juggler only really requires a Piglet or Single Mag to work properly, so you can save weight with that, and possibly add more drive. I'm not a fan of sticking things on the wedge like that, I'd prefer to use a Skirt Hinge and Steel Sheets for protection.

It's messy, it needs more front armor, it needs an even number of rotating spinners and SO MUCH EMPTY SPACE also a 4mag is overkill on a HW juggler. Already my Perm 132 juggler spammed with razors is pushing it, but it was really to build a glass cannon.

Go check the NAR AI jugglers if you want inspiration.

Am working on fixing that.

OMGKLONE

4 ants, plastic 3 etc

DP!

Juggler:

Tite 3. Not sure what to do with the weight.

lawl funky weapon setup is funky

Go for NPCF + Technos and perhaps tite 5. That'll eat up the weight.

The Zephyr · « **Reply #47 on:** August 25, 2011, 06:42:04 AM »

Ok, thanks. In testing I've noticed that bots sometimes get stuck on the wedges. Would using small beaters help?

Pwnator · « **Reply #48 on:** August 25, 2011, 06:47:24 AM »

Your best bet is to make the whole bot wider and use the outer APs of the discs to mount the beaters upward. If bots still get stuck, try spamming piglets and small-radius(and height) weapon setups.

The Zephyr · « **Reply #49 on:** August 25, 2011, 07:22:56 AM »

I've fixed it now. I made it slightly wider and used small beaters which also allowed me to get another tooth in the middle of the disk. Tite 5 used up the rest of the weight and bots slide up it perfectly.

Somebody · « **Reply #50 on:** August 25, 2011, 09:57:35 AM »

If you can, try to remove the middle teeth and use the weight to guard the discs. They won't hit anything in the middle.

The Zephyr · « **Reply #51 on:** August 26, 2011, 05:51:09 AM »

Guard the discs with...?

Naryar · « **Reply #52 on:** August 26, 2011, 09:42:49 AM »

Don't put your feeder wedge on your primary one. Plus it's really fragile like that, if a shell spinner or HS gets a 1K+ hit on your flippermakers you are quite possibly in a BAD situation.

The Zephyr · « **Reply #53 on:** August 26, 2011, 09:46:01 AM »

^I'll fix that in a minute.

For now, a new totally awesome bot thing:

6 razors, tite 1, disc for bottom protection (how do you guys attach them? I had to use a multi on another multi), rubber wheels, 4 ants...

Naryar · « **Reply #54 on:** August 26, 2011, 09:47:12 AM »

random iron is random

The Zephyr · « **Reply #55 on:** August 26, 2011, 09:49:13 AM »

Had to eat up the weight somehow. :P So how do you guys attach discs?

Naryar · « **Reply #56 on:** August 26, 2011, 09:51:15 AM »

For bottom protection ? Baseplate anchor. Only good use for it in DSL.

The Zephyr · « **Reply #57 on:** August 26, 2011, 09:52:10 AM »

Baseplate anchor? That could easily shave off a few kgs on this bot. Thanks! I'll show you the funky way I attached it later.

NFX · « **Reply #58 on:** August 26, 2011, 09:55:35 AM »

Secret AP to make Baseplate Anchors attach upside-down. =D

If you want, I would also upgrade to a TWM3R with the remaining weight, instead of the pointless iron spike. The weaponry's angled enough to give it some defense.

The Zephyr · « **Reply #59 on:** August 26, 2011, 10:05:53 AM »

Now has 3 ants. Everything else is the same as before. I think I might upgrade the weapon motor. Plus, it's invertible! :D
