Alright, time for some redesigning. I'll work on it and be back when I have something worth showing.

Now with reversed burst motor, but there's no space in the chassis for any more of them.

Never be afraid to rebuild a chassis. Don't build a nice shape and just see what fits.
I believe the quote was ''fit the chassis to the components, not the components to the chassis.''

Well, I can't move the BSGs any higher so looks like i'm gonna have to rebuild the whole damned thing.

i'll try the reverse burst motor but 4 of them kinda sounds like a stretch

7 ant bats, TD wheels and steel extenders. It's starting to look a lot better.

More of a nitpick but can you use the reverse version for one of the BSGs so that it's symetrical and creates a wider flipping base ?

I don't think it would fit properly

Alright, so after some adjustments, here's what I have now:



Considering adding a few more ant bats, but not sure.

I'm just hoping if this is indeed real, no more havoc explosions.

Hopefully they use a new Physics Engine

They're working on a Source 2 port, obviously

Obvs

@gauche its F11 not F8 and it saves it as a .bmp into the screenshot folder
also GTM has its own image host right on the new post page which is very convenient

are you using DSL 2.1 or 2.2?
First off your robot is very light for a MW. Either try to shave some off and make it a LW or beef it up to a MW. If you're making a flipper you also need to have an actual wedge (so like a skirt hinge) because just using the chassis as a wedge in RA2 doesn't work very good. I'd also make it a lot faster and more durable if I were you.

I'll stick some more powerful drive motors and a skirt hinge on it then. And i'm fairly sure it's 2.2.

Is there An In game Screenshot or did you use a different program for the photo there?

I took a screenshot, pasted into paint.net, uploaded it onto an image host then pasted it here

Hello and welcome to the thread where I make terrible bots for you to point and laugh at 
although it may change over time. who knows.



So, this is the first machine I have for you, a gambit at as flipper. iiiiiiit's weaksauce. Can't outwedge freakin' anything (DSL doesn't have flippers *sadface*) and I can't seem to find a viable alternative. It could probably be lightweight but I really don't know much about this game so there we have it thus far.
