The only issue to small chassis is their lack of durability contrarily to big chassis, but you gain a lot of weight. That can be used for external armor, or weapons.

Oh, and one general advice: Look at the other showcases, watch and learn. Lurk on the forum. You'll get tons of valuable information.

You should get the AI parts unlock:

There: https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2/Components/Combo_AI_&_SZ.zip

There is a lighter snapper (13kg), called the Snapper II, way weaker but good for bursting/snapper stacking. And two attachment points.

Then you should gain some weight by only using snapper II's (but not for weapon/srimech uses).

DarkWing 2 needs one more black, and Quad just needs two blacks.

EDIT: and for weight saving, you can put multiple motors on one Snapper. The better HW horizontal spinners there don't have more than two Snapper II's.

Nope. I have my idea though, and the bot is ready to build.

Use an animated GIF.

You could find one on the Web or make one by yourself.

I think there are softwares that can make GIF's from several pictures.

I wonder how many Makos are going to participate in that tourney.

I edited Hazardous Contraption 3 times and re-made the chassis at least 6 times.

Wait, but battery imput is also a problem... You motors aren't at their full potential.

You should add another orange batt or at lleast a battlepack.

General Support / Arena Export problem.

I just imported several of the DSL arenas (Spinner, Drum, Lava) on my Starcore RA2 version, copying all of the python and bindings files (excepted the ones for other arenas) and the folders for the three arenas.

The Spinner arena and DoD arena work fine, but NOT the Lava Arena (doesn't appear on the arena selection screen).

I'm sure I put the binding and folder for it in the stock arenas folder...

Indeed, these chassis are massive.

DarkWing 2 is the better- you might want to reduce chassis size, add another spinner and switch to shinies.

Quad has a HUGE chassis and all these spinners scattered are only useful if you SitnSpin... the worse.

I think you can put shinies on Urban Brawl too and lower the chassis' height -be sure to rotate the HP Z-teks if they touch the ground.

Also, try to put  Z-teks upwards and downwards on the same bot- look at the other's über-stacked-HS in other showcases.

Great.

And, by the way, even unweaponed bots like flippers or unarmedd pushers can do damage sometimes...

I'll say "your bot must have at least one weapon component able to do damage" (no point if there is a static iron into the chassis)

BTW Venko, "quantity" is for objects, not for people.

I think you can make this easily as good as Starcore 3's Jubjub Bird.

And stick with the same weapon in that hammer head - here, only 2 are going to hit the enemy (ice picks)

not too bad, but as Sage said a hammer like this definitely need to be stable.

And I hope we're not going to lose a legend!

EDIT: Yeah. My bot isn't Starcore 4 quality. It hardly defeats Little Darling...

Then you can change the JX's for the smallest bursts, it makes for the same wedge and less weight.

it is better. But rear armor isn't really useful here.

You should add front armor and get these wedges really flush to the ground.

why did you copy my deadline? i had 9/15 (or 15/09 in your country) for RAW


We all know that Venko's a little weird, but why the HELL he would be interested in copying your deadline, Sage?

We have 9 days for building these bots. I don't see the problem.

Am I wrong or you want a Spinner from the West entry?

no, no, jk.

Nice to see a new builder...

Well, for your bot... pretty decent, but still have many upgrades to do.

-What does these JX small motors are for? Do you use them as flippers?

-IMO, these Whyachi hammers suck. Use 30kg's instead, and your spinner will have more "range".

-It looks that you haven't enough battery power. Is there another orange batt in the bot?

-That chassis could be made smaller. In RA2, the golden rule is making the tightier chassis possible, that means very few empty space in your bot.

-I don't know what armor you have, but this bot looks weakly defended. There's a lot of unprotected areas. For example, side horizontal attacks (side hammers, horizontal spinners, sit'n'spinners, shell spinners) will damage your chassis easily. Put some external plating (snowplows or simply metal sheets)

Ah, and have a look at the other showcases, you'll learn a lot of things.
