most tournaments won't accept these because they dont show controlled movement so its a moot point

i get you want to contribute to the community and stuff, but this really isnt that helpful.

Wandering spinners are just for fun. They're not meant for competitions or tournaments, and They're just a fun thing to build, especially when you're bored and don't have any bot ideas in mind...

New WS. (Wandering Spinner)
This one's a middleweight.

1. Mark out and adjust the chassis shown.
 
ST1.bmp


2. use the largest ztek and raise it up as high as it will go. The baseplate anchor is raised up 3 notches.
 
ST2.bmp


3. To create the shell spinner, use a 12-sided disk and 12 dark plates added on. Use whatever weapons you want.
 
ST3.bmp


4. Wiring is just like the other shell spinner- both motors rotate clockwise for activation.
 
ST4.bmp


5. Done with construction. Now paint and armor it as you wish.

static wedges = no. dont do that ever

if you ever need 10mm steel to meet the weight limit, that means you can do more to make it better. make the wedges wider while you're at it

HA,HA, yes. Wandering Spinners are even more insane!!! :))))))

...and are you saying the MW WS wobbles a lot? If that's it, try bigger wheels or a smaller shell on the WS chassis.

Face spinners can also function as Wandering Spinners!
Instructions for a simple wandering face spinner.

1. 
screenshot.bmp

armor is 10 mm. Titanium.

2. NOTE- use the largest and widest drums. I used normals, and they failed. Your ztek weapon motor can be either small or medium. Both work. The control board is behind the ztek.
 
screenshot_1.bmp


3. Add a black plate on a baseplate anchor to the top of the chassis- as high as it will go. Then, add another baseplate anchor that's 3 notches up. to the back of the bot as shown.
 
screenshot_2.bmp


4. Build whatever face spinner weapon concept you want. I used layered steel blades and a small razor tip on an 8-sided angled plate.
 
screenshot_3.bmp


5. wiring. It's wired like all the other wandering spinners. The left wheel motor and face spinner motors spin clockwise, and the right wheel motor spins counterclockwise.
 
screenshot_4.bmp

as in all the others, surround this bot in the largest smartzone you have.

6. texture it how you want. DONE!

*If your FS keeps flopping when you turn it on, widen the drum wheels by adding additional drums onto them to widen them. You can also swap out the rear protection plate for a long weapon or extender to stabilize it further.

What's wrong with static wedges?

Also, 10 mm. Steel is THE BEST.



I don't mean to not follow your advice. I appreciate your advice, and I do try to follow it.

Why don’t you just use wheels?

Wheels stall Wandering Spinners. They're only good on bots with lots of "driving-in-tight-circles" habits.

Instructions for another WS. 
WARNING- This bot WILL kill opponents even with 10 mm. Steel if it's up to speed. It only takes it 2 secs to get up to full speed, so watch out!!!!

This WS is all about its weapon motor.

1. 5 mm. Steel for armor. Chassis set to minimum height.
 
screenshot.bmp


2. NOTE-control board is below the energizer battery. The baseplate anchor at the front is raised up 3 notches and the RC motor is up 2 notches. Choose a location for your spinner mount (preferably towards the front, in the center.)
 
screenshot_1.bmp


3. Add any weapon motor you want to use for the spinner. The larger the motor, the better. Use the largest tribar, and add steel blades as shown.
 
screenshot_2.bmp


4. To prevent your spinner from havoking or destabilizing, stabilize it with long steel blades, from 40 to 80 cm.
 
screenshot_4.bmp


5. Wiring is the same as other WS. Exception- weapon motor rotates clockwise and drive motor rotates counterclockwise.
Smartzone is the largest one possible.
 
screenshot_3.bmp


6. DONE! Now texture it as you wish.

Wandering Spinners don't need traction- they just need to be able to move around so they don't get immobilized. The only time when traction comes in is when it comes to driving up hills.

Other than that, less traction =less force on the weapon and drive motors=more hits with spinner.

Try it. Traction-less bots (especially Wandering Spinners) are fun!

It looks like Pip's freaked out about what Wandering Spinners are like.

What's wrong with static wedges?

Also, 10 mm. Steel is THE BEST.

wedges need to be on a burst motor or similar in order to properly press into the ground and slide under chassis. a static component doesn't do this.

10mm steel is overkill on nearly every robot and you could be using the weight better elsewhere.
