Discussion / SnapperII question

« on: March 11, 2011, 02:12:04 PM »

alright most of you will prolly know this one easy but i cant seem to figure it out lol..... how come when i attach more than just drive to my snapperII's , they wobble randomly? i figured it was a balance issue or a weight problem but when i go look at bots like Pwnator's Archetype i realise his is way more complex on the snapper's and doesnt wobble in the least bit??? i cant even drive without my tires flopping about and yet there set up alot like archetypes... i can post screenies or a vid later if you want let me know.... any help would be greatly appreciated   ~Enoch

P.S. on another note if this is in the wrong section i apologize i wasnt sure where it would go so i posted in general discussion.

Discussion / Power Management

« on: February 17, 2011, 07:33:38 AM »

Ever wonder why your spinner bot dont just whip other bots across the ring? or why your hammer bots cant seem to dent them real bad on the first swing? or even why your lightweights are so slow? well then perhaps you should read this.....

alright.... ive been seing alot on here about power efficiency and ive noticed alot of builders dont follow the math so i put together a small demo of why you should follow the math..... NOTE: if there is any disagrement please post sufficient evidence, keep in mind i just felt people should know that providing ample power doesnt just pro-long battery life

also bear in mind i persoanlly tested all rates of power between 100 and 700(vid#1/vid#2) and it has gradually increasing performance peaking at vid#2(well actually adding another 100 is just a lil better but not very noticeable)

(apologies for the weird blue box, im unfamiliar with FRAPS -.- if any one knows hot to remove it please shoot me a memo :) thx)
video with 100 input 500 output weapon 200 output drive:   


video with 700 input same outputs:



for those of you that are unfamiliar with the math.... study this table well:
