That's odd. A single supervolt should've done just fine on this bot.

You could attach your weapon motors to a single Snapper2 (requires some snapper loading, though) and use the other one for a wedge.

Ok I'll give it a spin, but not before asking an important question.

Is it better to have the two spinners inside each other like that or seperate?

No, they always go to the front.

I may not have huge experience with AI's, but I'm pretty certain AI's are non-discriminatory towards which side they attack.  Still, I wouldn't worry about it in an AI'd tournament for two reasons:

1> AI's won't try to drive around to the sides or back, they drive strait at you.
2> AI's always try to keep the front of their bot facing the other one, so unless your bot is being tossed about, the front will be facing the opponent at all times.

Well I'm at my dad's for now, so I can't work on that poker now.  I figured I'd try my hand at another high ADC class.

Here's my first face spinner.  It's not that good in my opinion.  It runs out of battery power pretty quickly and tips over forward on occasion, not to mention the fact that it doesn't do all that much damage.  I named it 8ball 'cus it has 8 spikes on the spinners.  He's got DSA armor by the way.

I made cookies.

They tasted good.

My dad lost his cookie scooper so I have to roll the damn buggers into balls by hand.  It's very hard to do this with Betty Crapper cookie mix because it sticks to everything (my fingers included).  Oh well, the cookies still tasted good. :mrgreen:

Well there's my random blabbering for the day.

Hence "snapper load"

The stationary part is in the way (the part that stays where it is, even after snapper loading).  If I moved it over enough to let the piston in, it would be alot closer to center than it is now, but still off center.

Wedge ilook quite fail to me. Try to snapper load it so it overlaps on the bottom piston and is symmetrical.

I can't do that.  The collision model of the stationary part of the snapper motor gets in the way.

Well I had space for the big tank.  Matter o' fact, I had more than enough.  I still haven't found a useful application for the big gap left next to the pistons, so I just put the snapper mount for the wedges there.  I also haven't brought the bot up to the limit yet.  It's definitely getting there, though.

Well building this one went alot more smoothly than I thought.  I got surplus CO2, a good weapon, and I had inadvertently built to the limit.  I still think I can optimize the chassis a bit.

I called it Slam-Wow because I was thinking about that stupid shmuck Vince at the time.

General rule of thumb: one tank per piston.

Ok that's good to know.

I'm gonna start from scratch again with this, the chassis for that last bot was way too small.

I've always hated pistons.  I'm having alot of trouble with this poker.

This is all I've been able to come up with that isn't a total ripoff of the one on the beetlebros site.  It' does a great deal of damage, but that's simply because I blatantly ripped the weapon itself off beetlebros.  It also has only 5 slim batters and one small CO2 tank.

You could be facing stuff like this...

In that case I think I'm probably not entering.  I wouldn't stand a fighting chance.

I have a stock bot I was thinking of entering, but I don't know how well it'll do if everyone else does DSL stuff.

I tried making a poker, and my first attempt was pretty bad.  I'm gonna give it another try tomorrow.

Try a poker, I haven't seen you do one yet.

A poker is what?  A rammer with really long spikes (kinda like eye poker, except not crappy)?
