Hypno teeth are good !

But yeah, complex spinners (spinners on spinners) aren't really good.
Well i haven't been beaten yet with it (against dsl ofcourse).
But yeah as i said it's my first ever spinner and i wanted to try to make it unique.

I will have to rebuild it anyway, a weird glitch just happened where it somehow deleted the WHOLE spinning mechanism (from 40 extender up)
While i was in the testing area.

Is it a known glitch? heres a pic if it helps.

A wedge will not be very useful for a bot like this, because the spinners will lift up the bot before the opponent gets to the chassis. In general, you can use metal hinges for wedges, as they make good wedges.

About the spinners:
1. Make sure all of the teeth would be turned the correct way for spinning to hit the other robot.

however...

2. If you hit F12, you can see the collision mesh of the hypno teeth, and see that they are just a small box, so it does not matter what direction you put them

however...

3. You want to make sure that the spinners are spinning the correct direction to multiply the force of the motors, instead of the two cancelling each other out

and...

4. You should change to other weapons to protect the motor and disc better, and push bots away better (a tiny box is not too good at that)

in conclusion...

Lookin good so far
The wedge was put in to help against opponents that have rammed into me through the spinning disks.
The first version was beaten by industrial coal miner due to this.
Then again the reason he was unable to get underneath me this time may be because the new chasis allows me to get away easily from opponents unlike the old one which left me easily stuck.

Also could you explain what you mean by other weapons, do you mean replace the hypno teeth?

I remember a member named Scorpio... no relation I take it?
Nope, i only discovered this game a few weeks back.

right, i think this is a significant improvement, having taken onboard all your tips.





I could have chopped a bit more off the chasis but i think that the front wedge could be a great help in battles.

Extra info: Armour much stronger now at plastic 5 and 7 ant batteries on it now.

Use hypno wheels or vlads (If they dont intersect the weapon).

Unfortunately it intersects all wheels, my mistake.
Ditch the reds and add six more ants, one ant for every motor except tornado mer and above. Also have a blue control board

No, it's one ant per spin motor. 2 is better, but optional.

Scorpion, about the chassis, take a look at (Credit to 090901)
(Image removed from quote.)

Yours needs to be a bit bigger, but you should get the idea.
Thanks i think i will work on that and post screenshots when i'm done
Name after a Avenged Sevenfold song?
Also, G.K., give me some credit :P
You know it  :cool:

Oh thanks, I'll see if i can get away wwith smaller wheels then.

Also, i thought about reducing the size of the chasis, but i'm not sure how to go about that as it is only just wide enoug to fit the spin motor and the drive motors inside.

Thanks, and done.
Very helpful advice.

unrealistic. discs go trough wheels.
I didn't realise it would have intersected the wheels 'till i had finished the weapon.

Plus i didn't realise that was that much of a problem.

what is the armor and how many batteries are there?
Armour is alluminium 3 (best i could get for the weight)
and there are 2 of the red ones with the very long name and an ant.

Thanks anyway for your help.

Yeah, i already knew to take the antiballast of.

BTW it works in the testing area fine, it just crashes before the actual battle.

I downloaded ACAMS antiballast and installed them on my robot fine.

But now whenever i go and try to start a battle, the game crashes  :frown:

Any suggestions to fix it?

I changed my first team a lot.

My first robot was one called puncture. It was a circular bot with a drill and a metal plate on top to try to stop axe and hammer damage.

And before you acuse me of anything i have made a lot more robots, I've only just got round to joining these forums.

My least favourite is either the gold panic attack for sheer dissapointment value, or sir chromalot.

I mean i remember at the time it being in a lot of battles and it was useless in every one.
