And would that be photoshop you used for the sig or a different program? Its an absolute work of art. Which I guess was the intention.

Anyway after this question's answered we better get back on topic.

That is true, but people are wondering why you are making such a fuss about it when you only know of her via the RA2 wiki.

I'm one to talk, but I haven't made a fuss.

Ok. Empty space wise, its actually a lot better, but I'm wondering if you built the chassis first and just got lucky fitting the components. What you should do is build a chassis for your robot that you think is big or small enough, put the components in it, then look at it and notice any empty space you've got. Then think; 'Well how could I get rid of this?' Move and replace the components so they're nicley compact, most emty space should be on the outside. Then redo the chassis so that its big enough to fit your components, but doesn't have the empty space. Hope this makes sence.

Also: don't use redbirds. They're too big. Use angle motors; they're just as powerful and take up much less space accordingly. If you use them, you should be able to fit in a black batt, or at least a nifty. You should be able to fit two DDT burst motors in there. Two is always better than one. Shiney hubs are also better than slippers. Finally, did you use DSA?

And did you actually replicate/clone a bot built by CB, or just name your bot after him?

Im pretty sure that DISK-O-INFERNO is a name of a bot that competed in RW in real life. You should work on more origonal names really.

You could also make your chassis smaller, then it can be invertable. Plus, its overpowered. One black batt can power four HPZ's.

Well razors are better than axe heads for popups, but you can get alot more on one arm by using the side attachment points of round extenders.

Use them by clicking on the green things that are on the component when its in the preview window before its attached.

Damn you Hydro I was thinking along the same lines...
I even thought up a name for it [go me]: Jaws of Hell
The middle weight version would be much more similar to Kan Opener and would have been called Jaws.

Right, well, first things first, don't use that drive. Its too heavey, takes up too much space and isn't very good. Second, that bots underpowered with that single pink battery. Third, I don't think that weapon setup is very effective; it isn't powerful enough and it will break easily.

Do you know what a Popup is? You could turn this robot into one if you improved the setup.

EDIT: Looks like we're both just too slow, Joe...

3. He is terrible.

Use that link I sent you, and look at other peoples showcases for skills and ideas.

It's better to just use more wheels. IMO, the MW needs 4WD HPZ and the HW needs 6WD HPZ.

Remove the snapper in the MW. It would be better to make chassis space since it doesn't accumulate as much space as the snapper.


I was trying to experiment a bit really. Not very good(figures...) but I just wanted to see what I did and learn from it. And I'm doing that, so thats great.

So:

- Chained drives are bad. I did think that PKR would go faster...

- Using my method with SLAGIATT(for some reason I wanna call it snapper loading... but it isn't) didn't work well for its intended purpose. It origionally used a tribar on a servo, but that didn't seem to work well either.

I will do rebuilds soon.

Right. 'Bout time I posted more bots then.

SLAGIATT

Seemed like a good idea at the time...

Gave me my first experiance of AGOD... Is also too slow to turn. Wheels are probably too exposed aswell.

PKR

My first attempt at a poker. Suffers slightly from empty space, but isn't too bad. Uses chained HPZ to drive the slippers.
