This is just a regular HS that you didn't wire correctly.
ALERT- Another WS coming up...
I'm fine with hugging reier
no offense but its really notwe just don't get what the point is when you can make something better with wheels easilythere isn't a point to have a robot ricochet off walls uncontrollably especially when you're not actually using the extra weight gained from less drive to make a better weapon. you're wasting a ton of weight on inefficient weapon setups, tons of batteries and 10mm armor when you could just add another drive motor and overall come out way ahead of your Roomba. we're trying to help, seriously. just listen for once. i've played this game for 14 years. i know what i'm talking about. you have the potential to be a great builder but these little passive aggressive comments you constantly do dismissing others' opinions is keeping you from getting there. Not that some other members are being paragons of maturity either, but please. listen.
Roomba.
Aren’t wandering spinners supposed to have one wheel or something
In general I find it hard to continue giving advice in this thread since the same mistakes are made over and over again with no respect to what we said in the past. For example I think the batteries are a pretty straight forward thing to understand. All spin motors draw only 10 amps, so a single black battery can power two of them. Additionally, black batteries have the best electotal meaning that there's no reason to use more of them than what is necessary to meet the amp requirement. However, you seem to have a tendency to stuff extra batteries wherever there is room to, without concerns to the extra weight or the excessive chassis sizes. If you want to build competitive bots that preform well against others then you have to start caring about how you spend weight and take heed to the advice that is littered throughout this thread. That means making the chassis smaller to meet your needs, instead of accepting its size and filling it up. A short summery of the tendencies include excessive batteries, excessive armor, bad weapon placement, and useless extensions off the robot. For example, the "Shell Spinner" has way too many batteries, a huge chassis, a ninja star that will never do damage (while protecting worse than armor would), and beater bars placed in a way so that there's only about 10 cm of contact area between the plate and the farthest reaching point. Additionally, we only get the weightclass and armor on half the robots, we rarely get the full weight in kilograms, and there's this curious obsession with building one-wheeled spinners that wouldn't show controlled movement or ever be tournament legal, all of which makes it very difficult to provide advice. If you consider your robots "art" and are not interested in advice that would make them better (as suggested by disregarding the basic building guidelines we have laid out), then let us know. Regardless, I don't think I'm going to post more advice here if it means repeating what has already been said a dozen times. If you want to improve, then reread the comments in this thread (and your stock thread) and try to understand Reier's post above. Build by those rules, and we can go from there.
you should be wiring your "spin" command to a button and not a switch. most ai will flip a switch on and off instead of do anything useful, severely hurting your bot's effectiveness when aied.also i believe the correct term for this kind of wheel-less bouncing spinner thing is "bumble ball".
