This better? It's pretty much a new bot so It's not named Win Bot 5000.

Batts are stacked

better. what's stopping you from squeezing in the chassis so its perfect?

Well, I was planning on adding a snowplow in the front but I didn't have enough space. Think that making it even smaller will give me enough leftover weight?

Also with eFFeing the weapon hp zteks you can use get rid of two snappers.

Ultimate goal is using 2 SnapperII's for attaching drive and your 4 spinners.

(YES SAGE I KNOW YOU HAD ONE SNAPPER)

After trying to effe glitch, It won't let me connect anything on the connectors which are attached to a tribar.

Sage · « **Reply #46 on:** March 13, 2009, 06:16:14 PM »

That would be the rule of seven. you have to attach the motor directly to the extender coming off the servo/snapper or it wont let you attach weapons.
yes, sometimes very hard to do. my first good HS was 4 servos.

Well, then how would i remove the 2 snappers which Naryar recommended by effe glitching?

Sage · « **Reply #48 on:** March 13, 2009, 07:12:42 PM »

i will let naryar explain that, if hes so confident :P

I'm planning on building a 36 Iron Spiked HS for bbeans. Any Tips?

Reier · « **Reply #50 on:** March 15, 2009, 09:34:51 PM »

It's fairly challenging. I suggest talking to Sage about this, he's pretty good at them.
Also get the blue snappers, they're a legal component. Link (It's called the Combo AI & CZ)

Well first, I need to get the CD version from Ebay (already bought it) to use blue snappers. but I need atleast an idea of what I'm gonna do. Anyways, I'm assuming the chassis for batteries, ect, and 2 blue snappers with 2 HP Z-Teks for weapons and one for drive?

Sage · « **Reply #52 on:** March 15, 2009, 10:05:32 PM »

The point of making a 36 HS is that you figure it our yourself to prove your skills. The rules are also fairly strict:

1. 36 weapons that weight 10 kgs each, ex. Iron Spikes and Maces. (You can, if you have the weight, add a frontal weapon for protection)

2. These 36 weapons will be on 4 tribars that are on 4 HP-Zteks.

3. The drive will be 2 HP-Zteks, usually with shiny hub wheels on them.

4. The power will be 2 Black Batteries.

5. This is optional, but you will get much more respect if you can make it invertible as well.

That said, I have built a lot of them and will you give you a few tips:

1. Pretty much the only way is to use two blue Snapper II's. There are two workable designs that use 2 servos and a few with one snapper II... but i already made those :P

2. You should learn snapper loading before you attempt this. (Look in my signature for a tutorial.)

3. There are many, many ways to do a setup for this type of bot (which is why they are fun to build) but it's becoming hard to come up with new ones as of late. I would suggest looking at other peoples versions and copying the design. After you make your first it's easier to design a new setup.

4. Come up with the setup in your head or on paper before even attempting it in game. This will usually help. The weight of the stuff is 762-766 kgs (depending on if you use 2 20cms or 4 20cms for your setup) so your chassis will have to be fairly small. The breakdown for the components is here:

360= Weapons

120= Weapon Motors

60= Drive Motors

60= Batteries

56= Tribars

48= Extenders for weapons

26= Snapper II's

24= Wheels (Shiny Hubs)

4-8= Extenders for setup

4= Control Board

Hope that helps!

28 is also invertible with shinies.
