What do people usually use in showcases?

Yup, skirt hinge. And I was wondering about Nar AI because I know that it has different components in.

I'm guessing I went overkill on the batteries but I was looking at the amps... Tite 3 (or 5? I can't really remember) and the betas rupt every time you fire them.

EDIT: By the way, should I use Nar AI instead of regular DSL?

I'm with the others on this Inf. Although they might have used NC's stacker tool?

They might have used movepixel or hax mode. They could have done it without either, but it is far more infrequent.

Both wrong. I sat there stacking it without any help. I couldn't get NC's tool to work. >)>

Yes... Wrong...

Sorry, skipped over that part of the post.

Same as before except with plastic 5 and no havok.

EDIT: Argh, I meant astroflights. I missed NFX's post. So razors instead of irons?

Irons on flails aren't as good as razors.

Already fixed.

It's... sloppy...

Anyways, 3 Betas is overkill. It's very underpowered for now, and you don't need 4WD on a HW flipper.

Very sloppy indeed. It's my building style.  :gawe:

I re-made this bot before reading your advice, SKBT. >;>

Here it is:

(Image removed from quote.)

Flings Second Sentinel even higher now. Plastic 3.

EDIT: 4 ants, 10 battlepacks.

Not even close to enough batteries for that. Drop down to 2 Betas.

@Naryar it is possible to get 3 Betas fully powered on a HW, but it just ruins the rest of the bot.

I gathered that about the batteries. Will fix soon.

:O You play R&C too, System32? Awesome. Gaz and I play it all the time. Is there a thread for it?

Not sure if this matters but it can get under Second Sentinel and flip it out of the DSL Tourney arena.

I still need to learn this technical mumbo jumbo. Gaz has it down right.

So bigger chassis and better armour = No havok?

Maces on a VS? No, no, no, especially seen as it has wedges. That will make it bounce and the wedges useless. Razors or irons are the best bet here.

Generic FBS is generic:



3 ants (1 per spin motor?), slimbody drive, piglet for disc, plastic 3... It havoks and flips over when the match starts. :/

I might make some IRL bots, too.

Thanks for backing me up guys but I can understand why he's sceptical. I did actually manage to do all of this, though. No cheating.

His joints are playing up again, especially his right shoulder. It slipped out again.
