Add more razors and shrink the chassis?

Nah snapper loading is the way to go. :P

Try to angle the razors by changing the start point on the skirt hinges.


I suggested that 10 posts ago. :P

Try attaching the razors on a skirt hinge
You can get more razors on for less weight and it looks cooler.

@SKBT: Oh that's great, thanks so much for the parking tip. Me and my dad were delighted to see that! This is our first time attending, so we won't really know our way around.  You are fighting in Motorama also right? If so, good luck, and looking forward to seeing you there. Thanks again

No I can't make it out to Moto this year. I've got prior commitments to my schools FIRST team. I wish I could make it out there though.

Good luck!

I haven't had any good ideas for a good LW and for the other 3 bots for High Voltage sorry for the delay.

Good to see a new member who can take advice and run with it! Good job on the build.

I see you are registered for Motorama 2011. Here's a little inside tip to save you the cost of a parking pass. There is a autoshop on Maclay Street across the street from the main entrance of the Farmshow Complex. (It's next to a burger king) You can park there for 10$ and its a shorter walk than parking in the back and walking around to the other side.

Good luck there.

I thought the heads would actually look like Rock'Em Sock'Em heads, not just smileys on discs...

Feel free to reskin it to whatever you want. Just remember to send the head reskin when you send the bot.

I once accidentally found Click and Firebeetle's real names. But this wasn't on Facebook.

Added heads. You can get them here -->https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/9149Components.rar
Or at the front page of this topic

Also I changed the minimum height requirement to two grape crates in the testing arena.

So cheatbot is allowed?
Custom components = cheatbot so no.

 
are cluster allowed?

Darn I knew I was forgetting something in the rules. Yes but if one is out both are.
 
Might I make a suggestion?  You should make the matches be best 2 out of 3, like in KoK.

Good idea I might do that.

Do we know what the head component's gonna look like?

It might be a tire of some sort or Sir Killalots head or something funny. In otherwords I'll figure that out tonight. :P

After some basic testing and building I have decided to change it to a HW tourney.

I changed a couple of rules and hopefully Sparkey proofed them. Also I created a logo for it.

Should this be HW or MW? I'm afraid that if it's HW some rules will be abused to reach the weight limit.

Rules:
   -must have a head component at the top (I'll make a head component and distribute it among competitors)

Also did I miss any rules that are important? I'd like to hit voting section as soon as possible.

I know you said you didn't want a kit but seeing you arent allowed to use powertools a Kitbots.com kit  might be your best option. Here is the drumbot kit. http://kitbots.com/product.sc;jsessionid=DAB99F68836091F142AFCB49C46C601B.qscstrfrnt03?productId=19&categoryId=1[/url] It is based on the Weta series of drumbots from Team Rolling Thunder. Also they have a horizontal bar spinner kit  http://kitbots.com/product.sc;jsessionid=DAB99F68836091F142AFCB49C46C601B.qscstrfrnt03?productId=3&categoryId=1[/url]
