Maybe a picture would help?

Why do you want to change the scale of the parts?  Aren%u2019t they scaled correctly now?

Again, they all are good, It would be a good thing. Picture this: You are making a rep pack with more people in the team. You end up making a complex bot but it is very small compared to others. Atm arcane is painfully downscaling bots one piece by one which takes him several hours. This feature would help immensely toward people like arcane

I can draw up a sketch

Gotcha!  Sorry.  I’m a little dense.  We can put it on the list.

So you were thinking of building a really big robot in its entirety, then scaling the whole robot down to make weight?

Possibly, or scaling up

And I'm sure this is obvious now but I'd say it only applies to parts which are 'Is Scaleable = True'. I have to be honest and admit this would be helpful.... When I was building reps finding out you hadn't scaled a robot correctly was incredibly frustrating. And even now as I'm rebuilding the stock robots I could do with scaling some up/down (the new Royal Robby - as an example, could do with being scaled up from how I built it).
Damn I should probably put something fancy in this bit huh?

Oh yeah about reps, do you want to join the rep building team over on discord, Wham?

Thank you for the offer, but literally all of my time is now being spent on this game. Any robots I do create are the new stock robots haha!

I even had to move all my reps to a backup folder so I could focus on the new stocks easier. Maybe once the game is done I'll be able to get back to replicas :)

While romping around with my bar spinner I straight-up destroyed the opposing robot's Motenergy motor (seen at the bottom of the screen shot).  That's quite the detail with that motor's 3D model!

The rotor was actually wobbling as it spun down!  Haha I bent that thing up good  heck

I am SOOOO glad someone noticed I put in that detail!!

If you look closely at the motor as it’s spinning you should see the inner coil spinning aswell :)

Spinners in Feb28 have something weird going on with their mass or something. My verts start to wheely when their weapons are spinning.

It's by far at its most noticeable with S3. Drive forward with the weapon off, it's fine. Drive forward with the weapon on, and it's more overhead thwackbot than vert.

My Monsoon has the same issue which makes me have to gear it really slow to avoid it.
Mad but not mad.

Is it the reaction torque that occurs when the weapon starts up?

Circumvolution is hard to drive too.  It tends to flip on its back a lot.

I have an idea of what might possibly have changed.  I’m not convinced anything has, but I’m not convinced it hasn’t either.  We are, yet again, in firmly undocumented Unity Physics Land.  I changed the masses of all the rigibodies.  My assumption is that this automatically changed all of the moments of inertia.  It is possible that Unity did not do that.  I will need to do some testing to find out.

Nothing about acceleration. You can leave it to spin all the way up and it still flips over.

My undercutter bot's weapon worked well in Feb 16th build, but it kept hitting the floor in the new build, even when I geared the driving extremely slow the issue still existed, it just couldn't spin up to full speed.
