So I made a thing:
![]() Heavyweight, 2 NPC drive. Wings down stabilizes drive, wings up allows the tail flipper to help right the thing if it flips, so it's a pretty solid replica of the mechanisms in Warhead/Predator 183

If you want middleweight vertical spinners, there's plenty to choose from. VD5, Professor Chaos, Heavy Metal Noise, Besta, Locust, Stewie, Terminal Velocity, Village Idiot, etc...
Bob looks great, btw. 184
Discussion / Re: Any bot names?« on: April 15, 2013, 10:02:05 PM »I use it for the real bots, mostly, but end up recycling the names in RA2. They're all Greek origin and mostly personifications of concepts Existing/past bot names: Moros- Personification of the sense of impending doom Kobalos- a sprite from Greek Mythology, a mischievous creature fond of tricking and frightening mortals. Apollyon- The destroyer, greek term used for the devil Nyx- Personification of night Algos- Spirit of pain and suffering Keres - Violent or cruel death Future possible names: Erebus - Darkness Tartarus - God of great stormy tartarean pit Bia - Force, Power, Might, Bodily Strength, Compulsion Apate - Trick, Fraud, Deceit, Guile, Treachery Dolos - Trickery, Cunning Deception, Craftiness, Guile, Treachery Gelos - Laughter Oizys - Woe, Misery Phobus - Panic-Fear, Flight, Rout Phrike - Horror Momus - god of mockery, blame, ridicule, scorn, complaint and stinging criticism. 186

Found the issue with skin exporting. The export/import buttons work at lower res, but when set to 1600x1280 the buttons don't work.

While sort of accurate, Enforcer is now a 30lb sportsman class robot and has not yet competed this year. 190

As far as I can tell, export/import paint template isn't working. It works fine in a few other mods I've got, so I'm thinking it's DSL3 related.

Seems like some of the old wheels haven't had the mesh updated and still wire as they normally would. The new components seem nice. The other think I noticed is it seems like all the spin motors I've tested are generally slower and more torque-y 197

A few quick things-
The AR600x, as far as I know, doesn't failsafe correctly. Luckily rx's that do are cheap. I use this one in my ants: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__11972__OrangeRx_R410_Spektrum_DSM2_Compatible_4Ch_2_4Ghz_Receiver.html This should work if you need 6 channels: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__31224__OrangeRx_R620_Spektrum_JR_DSM2_Compatible_Full_Range_6Ch_2_4Ghz_Receiver_w_Failsafe.html If you need to save space/weight, you could switch to mini-deans or jst connectors: http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-CAJSTX.html or http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0C-DMICRO.html Eventually swapping to a lipo would be good, but at least for now you'll have plenty of run time. 200
