1)i added te mags after the spinner , so i really dindnt see it, its going to be fixed. but, why are the green ones are better?, i mean, the magmototr weights more, shouldnt it be better?
2)will be fixed in the next version of my bot
3)thanks for your observations!

Thats the thing- you would expect that, but the mags fire at a slower speed, which is worse for flippers, hammers and popups.

A triple hybrid is probably too much for this- keep it as a popup/flipper or just a pure popup or flipper. Generally you'd have more success.

Also, when AI'd, bots generally don't go for the back of the bot, so back weapons are generally unecessary (unless you build IRL and have a special .py for it I guess). Doesn't mean back armour is bad though. 

Metal hinges make the best wedges- I suggest you get rid of the spinner entirely, add two metal hinges with wedges (either steel/titanium skirts or flipper segments/dsl bar/halfsheet with a small wedge at the end). This will help you get under other bots more often.

(wider wedges are better)

You 100% sure about that ?
from what i have seen and tested wider wedges outwedge other wedges. Kinda like how double wedges are better than single wedges.

Not 100% of the time :P

As soon as someone comes up with a reason why homosexuality is immoral I might actually listen. And don't give me any bible crap, I want genuine, logical, thought out reasoning, rather than "It's unnatural and just plain wrong bro".

Those are my views. My mum is very highly anti-homosexual, which is quite awkward because her sister is a lesbian. Though she has adequate reasons for hating her sister (favouritism from my grandparents, among other things), I don't agree with the fact that she hates every homosexual person because of it. Its the reason why I'm as straight as you can get- my own mother would probably disown me D:

Nice exposed chassis. :P
good luck getting there first :P

Challenge accepted.

It's always been MW, HA xD

Might build something completely unorthodox (from me anyways). If I don't you'll just be getting an existing bot to fight because I'm lazy. :P

To wedge or not to wedge. That is the question.

I barely watch TV anymore- when I do its in the morning when I have breakfast, and my brother has Garfield, one of the newer scooby doo's and tom and jerry on boomerang.

TV myself? I only ever watch doctor who (which isn't so great anymore tbh) and primeval when they're on. Otherwise I sporadically watch QI, mock the week, the big bang theory, futurama, man vs food and a couple others whenever I get the TV to myself.

Only thing I'm looking forward to TV wise is Red Dwarf series X in september. What a wait that's going to be.

this post lacks grammar

Not quite as good as the originals, but since the originals are my favourite cartoon of all time, that means these are pretty good. XD

Lower the front 40 skirt down to titanium, back 40 skirts down to aluminum, add a side panel on top, and raise chassis armor to p5.

Done :D

Well, new bot. Ty's making me want to build HS again...

Warning- Glass Cannon alert!



Muon Neutrino, p3, NPCs, 3 ants, dodgy CF extenders, exposed back and perm. Quite happily invertible though.

I think a setup with two multi's and a caster would be better- then you could raise the stabilisers to the right level. And to be honest, a caster is plenty for an undercutter.

I'd say escargot would be slightly too fast, but fast VS aren't too bad in the LW division. It might be slightly underweaponed though.

Try using DSL bars for the drive and stablisers- it would make the stance wider and would not need the hex plates to put the drive on. However, I'm more worried about you fixing the fact that the weapon still intersects the halfsheet. xD

First one looks awesome, but unrealistic. I'd try to get the 40cm skirts a bit wider, then you should be able to attach the motors directly, while avoiding the stabilisers being cut. Second looks even more awesome, but looks a bit heavy for a HW. Insides?

Not to mention the entire weapon interescts the half sheet. Nice idea, but it needs to be done differently for it to be realistic :P

1 for me- 2nd to S_M too many times though. xD

Though with championships that means I'm on at least 3.

dammit I thought this was continuing. Hercules, please look at the post date and don't post if it's over a week.

Now there's some terrible advice- its ok to post if it's on topic.
