Try mounting your motors like this. Putting your drives closer to the chassis will increase stability and allow you to turn and face the other bot quicker.

Also you might want to try using a longer ME to attach the perm. It will be invincible and might save weight.

I used to play ice hockey until I realized I was a bad skater.

Uhhh... unless you were playing on the parapalegic retard team that should've taken mabye two, mabye three seconds max to figure out :S
 
I play beer league ice hockey now. "Beer" league is misleading, it's actually closer to oh-god-pass-the-water-before-I-cough-my-intestines-out-there's-only-two-people-on-the-bench-and-I've-just-had-a-45-minute-shift-holy-crap-I'm-gonna-die league. Hopefully I can get back into more competitive university hockey next year.

I was an OK skater when I started. Hockey took a back seat to other things (ie. Robots, school) so I wasn't putting in as much time as I wanted. Others got better I didn't. I got on the team but barely, I wasn't a competitive player and I spent most of the time on the bench and got my ass kicked in practices because I wasn't good enough of a skater.

(like that klone :O SnS in BBEANS Sawzal)

Nah its too small to be a klone. Its more like mini-me.

Wait can I even vote? Oh well

Most Entertaining: Postmodern Cubism (I just loved the design and thought it put up some great fights)

Most Anticipated: I can't answer this because clash cubes started before I joined or even lurked.

Most Innovative: Kelpher (It didn't even look like a cube. It worked well and had a cool AI.)

Most Hated by Fate: I need to re-watch some videos to make a decison.

Robot Combat is pretty big in the North East. Last event I fought in 113 bots attended.

Damage is really low 100-400. What am I doing wrong.




Edit: I fixed the problems and found enough weight to add another ant battery.

Lol Ounce and Bubble Man are using long multi-extenders, I thought that was banned.

In fact you told me specifically to remove mine.

I had some ridiculous cube with long ME's on it as my first entry attempt. I think it was called NOOb Cube or something like that.

I don't know if this helps but did you check the collision mesh? It might have AGODed and the collision mesh isn't lining up with the components.

Those polycarbs look like HS food. I'd drop the motors to astros and use the weight to get aluminum sheets. I'd also question the realisticness of the spinner. It looks like one side passes through the perm and perm belt.

Edit: I just built your weapon system. The DSL bar and Beater Bar clearly interersect the Perm axel and belt. Also you could attach the Perm like I did with a longer multi extender.

I need help. I tried to make a LW version of T-Road for the RA2 Trials 2. It works but could be better. Anyone have suggestions.

Looks very good.

I don't know how great this would look but maybe a metal hindge for the flails on it.

I'm fine with teaming up with JoeBlo. I didn't build the joke bot yet.

Would a killer DSL bot and a joke stock bot be allowed? I can't build stock and I have a couple DSL HW's ready to go. I don't want to enter and take a spot from a good stock builder with a Noobish stock bot.

Thanks

The wheels often come off before the motors do so not to frequently.
