What am I doing wrong?

The chassis must be slightly taller.

Ah, ok. Thanks :)

But why does it do that, out of interest?

Because RA2 is stupid. That's the best answer I've got.

Re-using my old topic.

How on Earth do I go about making a Ring Spinner? It's confusing when they're no tutorials or anything on the wiki... D:

Just axle load a spinner in the chassis, then mount a disc in the usual way, or if your using a black disc, axle load by mounting a small motor like a copal to your weapon motor and spinning it like you do in the snapper loading process, then mount your disc once the weapon motor axle is outside the chassis.

I think, and I'm sorry if my advice is very poorly worded

I can make a video if you wish.

Thanks, Madman =D

But how do you attach the copal, straight on or on an extender?

Could you? It would help the loophole in my mind :3

I can help you on skype if you wish.

Basics are; you need to axle load the disk out of the way and fill up your chassis with stuff (i use extenders for axle loading, not sure if motors work better) and attach stuff to the disk whilst it is still axle loaded and then go garage + back.

OK, uploading now (may take a while).

Hey, S_M. Is that video done yet? =P

Still processing...

Nice tutorial on my favorite bot type, S_M. Although I already knew how to build them, I did learn something I didn't know from your video. When you did the chassis paintjob, I've always just hit "paint entire chassis". Wasn't aware you could click a 'face' like you did. Never even occured to me. lol

Whats the diffrence between a FBS and a ring spinner?

cephalopod · « **Reply #16 on:** October 27, 2011, 04:43:58 PM »

A ring spinner runs on the realistic idea that you could get a ring (not filled in, just a ring) and spin that around the chassis using a motor inside the chassis (running a cog to the ring or something, I don't know.)
