you are wasting so much weight with this garbage extender work and sloppy chassis. you're still getting outweaponed by fury even with the 1wd.

shrink your chassis around your components and get those weapon motors on a snapper. maybe put a plow on it too. those static weapons at the front can't be very good at protection.

Chassis is not sloppy.
I have a WS in Special Forces 2 that uses a tiny chassis and snappers.

Another WS on the way...

Those static weapons are actually really good. A popup got under this bot... tried to hit the underside... and broke BOTH razor assemblies on the static weapons of this WS.

Pic not available right now, but I followed your advice (surprising, right?) and threw together a flatter WS with all motors inside the body.

I can't make the toruses on the majority of these wheels any rounder. They just suggest tires.

Why do you people think I'm a meme?

because you refuse to listen to people that know more than you and wandering spinners are hilarious

True. I should stop underestimating you guys.

Building a MW WS

I. Chassis adjusted as shown. Again, you already have DSA, so leave off the armor tab.
 

II. Here's the tricky part- axle loading a Redbird. Redbirds are very difficult to axle-load, so patience is key.
 

Both baseplate anchors are up 3 notches.

III. Add the spinners. Both maces and irons will work on this design.
 

The weapon bar at the front helps defend the motors. It also stabilizes the WS.

IV. Wiring- drive motor spins counterclockwise, and spinner motors rotate clockwise.

V. You now have 30+ kg. to do what you wish with. I added a ballast to keep the back end of the WS down.

VI. DONE.

If you're going to make a 1WD not (let alone an uncontrollable one) you really should have 9 weapons. You could also mount the drive on the snapper rather than wasting weight on both a snapper and a larger chassis.

Yes, and no. WS need to be slightly large to be stable, and mounting a WS drive motor on a snapper causes havok explosions.

On other HS, Yes. It's very efficient. A lot of my bots in 1.0 have drive motors and weapon motors all crammed on a snapper.

Double post... Why? WS!

Building a LW mace WS.

I. Chassis adjusted as shown.
 

II. RAD is up 3 notches. Axle load that RAD, and add a shiny hub wheel.
 

IV. Add the supervolt and blue snapper as shown. Replace the controlboard on top of the supervolt.
     Undo the axle load, and you will get this...
 

V. Add te ztek and extender as shown. Wire it. Add a button titled Spin and a switch titled Activate. Both motors spin clockwise.
   Apply the EFFE glitch and evenly space 6 extenders out as shown. Add a mace to each extender.
 

VI. Undo the EFFE. This is what the completed WS will look like...
 

V. You now have a sufficient amount of weight left to do whatever you wish. Since you already have DSA, don't add titanium.

VI. FINISHED.

More bots!
LW rammer. It uses one motor to steer, making it easy to steer.
 

Really tight poker.
 

HW flipper-like bot. Grest for ramming. Has 3 supervolts. 799.8 kg. (801.8 kg. with SZ)
 

24 razor popup.
