Well, I have to say it is pretty good. Not the best, but I managed to KO all the HW bots on Starcore V2 in my first or second try. I think it's time for a new bot... I have an idea for a DSL SHW bot though, so I'm going to build that first.

Sounds like a reasonable explanation to me :P. Now to copy it into one of my Starcore games and see if it is actually good or if it is just good against the stock bots... probably not going to be too fun lol

Yup, you were right about about those HPZ's. I've noticed a pretty large speed increase over my last bot. And widening my weapon rack my damage somehow doubled.

Sounds good, I'll go those a try. I didn't realize the collision mesh was that much bigger than the part, if your right. I assumed it would be at least close to the visual dimensions.

40757-
1.Many parts of the current chassis already free-formed, or the minimum size. The HPZ require either 3 blocks across their widest part or so close that they can hardly be improved, for example. I should be ableto save a few KG's on the center shaft at least, however. I never changed it from when I had two baseplate extenders there, so it's way too wide
2. I'm using grannies because they seem to be the smallest wheels that don't drag the spinners. I'll check again after the chassis redesign, though.
3. I currently have it at 6 ticks so that I can place the CB on top of the supervolts.

Reier: Thanks.
Gropaga: I don't think they're needed either, but I didn't have the weight for anything that would be more helpful, I.E. ram plates
Pwnator: Same as above
Naryar: I tried to use the ~50 KGs for something that would help, but there wasn't a lot of room to work with. This was the best setup I came up with. Any ideas on how to use the weight better?

Alright, so I finished this version of the bot. It now has four HPZ spinners, a shortened chassis, and some bad extender work for poor defense. PROS: Good damage on initial impact; 300-700 average Front wheels aren't easily removed, back wheels aren't easily reached CONS: Any slightly angled surface on a enemy bots becomes a ramp Bots with overhead-swinging weapons take out my spinners and extender work pretty fast Still drive-able when inverted, but the extender work gets in the way so it's not great Damage during sustained contact is bad. 30-110 is the norm Pics:  WARNING: UNDER CONTRUCTION  Fail editing FTW! Any ideas on how to improve now? I definitely need to change that extender setup, so if you think I can make that a lot better without changing anything major I'd appreciate it.

Alright, thanks for the tip. I assumed I could do it that way when I saw the axle mount axles flying off while I was snapper loading, but I had no reason to try at that point.

And how would I go about doing that? The only way I see to do that would be to snapper load like before, use a T-Connector where the HPZ is, connect a 20CM Extender on one side, hover on the end of it with another one, fire the Snapper II and connect the 20CM to fit the HPZ on each 20CM extender, and repeat for the other side. Or am I missing/forgetting something? This is my first bot I've used any glitches on, btw, so I don't know much except for what I learned in Sage's vids and from experiences with this bot.

I had this done for about half an hour but I went to take a shower after I did it and then had to edit the pictures. Just look at how far I'm bringing mah baby :P Yeah, I was to lazy to remove those axles before continuing. Problem? Lol. And if I wanted to, could I use a Snapper II in a tournament? Or is it banned because it's not technically a stock part?

I already have his videos saved to my computer :P. Hes the only reason I understand what I'm doing now. And my idea is apparently impossible. I didn't know that discs only attach directly to a motor, and that an extender won't work. I have another idea though. Maybe it won't fail so bad.

Alright, I'll give it a try. If I remove the Pistons and the CO2 Tank, then move the two side pieces back, I might be able to squeeze a HPZ where the anchors are now and axle load a face spinner right inside the two existing ones. And if I fail at that somehow, I could always rework the chassis so that the front wheels can be mounted farther back and put a face spinner there.

Double post for pictures :P. Not technically "pictures", but I didn't feel like uploading and linking 3 pictures... so you guys get one large one. Thoughts? Nobody gave me a lot of advice before, either. That guide does help though.

I took a guess at how many batteries I needed. And, I read somewhere that One black= 2 HP Zteks, and a nifty is just one. Is that wrong? And yeah, the back plow is pretty useless, but if I get surrounded in a multi-bot death match, it does help. I also had some extra weight. Kill, I read the guide there once before, but thanks for posting the link here. I kinda lost it... lol. Thanks Naryar. I'm going to redesign the chassis to fit a little better, and try to stack a couple of supervolts. Stacking isn't considered illegal, is it?
Edit: Three quick updates- I tried stacking the supervolts for little while, but got lazy quickly. I also changed the chassis to some custom sizes for less extra room. And finally, I removed all three plows and replaced the two side plows with ram pates over the rear wheels and spike strips parallel with the front wheels. I need to move the entire assembly up, though. It still moves, but it gets stuck easily.

Alright, so I'm starting a showcase. Right now, I only have this one bot, which is a remake of the first bot I made on RA2. No custom skin yet because I'm just too lazy lol. Components List: 6 HPZteks 2 Supervolt Batteries 2 Nifty Batteries 1 Small C02 Tank 2 80(?) CM Burst Pistons 2 70 CM Pole Spikes 3 90 Degree Base Extenders 2 100(?) CM Round Extenders 1 40 CM Round Extender 1 22.5(?) Degree Angle Extender 3 Snowplows 2 60 CM Discs 8 Iron Spikes And a partridge and a pear tree lol. One idea I had was to maybe change the two front Zteks into a couple of Angle Motors and use the extra space to add more pistons. Or remove the pistons and add a DDT Flipper. Any ideas?
