Hello AGOD.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Try a horizontal axle mount facing into the chassis.

If he did that, he'd save weight by removing the need for that red extender. Maybe he'd be able to get DSA on it.

you can't attach motors directly to axles IIRC, so he'll still need an extender.

YES THANK YOU.

Works like a charm now...by RA2 physics the axle should make the Z-tek spin weirdly ("perpendicular" to the tribar) but it's weird and doesn't. Which is good because the Z-tek stays still and the bot's a lot more stable.  :claping

BLEHHHH



Below average. Excellent wedge, though the casters are evil and do NOT help stuff get up. It's supposed to counter double wedges. There's 9 razors on that one DDT.... I had a bit of fun AI'ing it though with the lazy-replace-one-of-the-bots-in-Starcore-AI way. So there's a lot of battleshots.

Random CB exostack.

9 razors is overkill, bro. Try taking 2 out and place the DDT and the Snapper2 side by side (with the DDT rotated 180-degrees). You can then slope the chassis even more and check if the casters work this time.

Nah. Push the Snapper2 inward, load the axle then attach the DDT. Of course, that would require a slight chassis modification.

Hope I did it right.



When I went to try it out, the wedge sucked and couldn't get under anything. So I literally went through all the possible start points for the wedge Snapper2 to see if it improved. After it got really low I just gave up hope and thought, "If the next one doesn't get under Mutiny II, I give up." So I moved the start position one pixel to the left on the slider, and it got under Mutiny! I'm just really surprised at how low it is.



80% of the time Win! Win! WIN! just slides right under it, and the rest of the time it manages to get under....



All the weight on the DDT doesn't seem to interfere with damage too much (still 9 razors). Fury still cheats and acts like the casters aren't even there. :dead:

I think I'll just ditch the T-shape and use the generic wide chassis that most Pyscolone challenge bots have.

Fury's hitting the sides of the chassis, so the casters should really be moved outwards so they're sticking out of the sides as much as possible. Aside from that, it actually looks quite good. Maybe 9 razors it a bit much, would it be able to self right?

You

Are

A

Genius

Not only does it troll Fury consistently now (okay I admit it, I only tried twice, but it OHKO'd Fury both times :P), the spreading of the casters has apparently made the wedge better...it outwedged Win! Win! WIN! 5/6 times, AI'd.

AI'd Battleshots:

Not AI'd, but that's not as much because of the 9 razors on the DDT as it is the long shape of the bot. It can self right with the Snapper2 if I'm driving though, or if it self-rights while going forward at the same time. (of course, this would technically be backwards when it's upside down)

NICELY DONE, BRO.


The wedge is oddly low, though.

I hate Snapper Loading.

Is there any way to get around a Snapper II failing to retract and not letting you attach anything more to it while eFFeing?

Switch tabs, then return to Components. Now select the SnapperII and move the Start of motion swing a little bit, then End of motion swing, then Start of motion swing again to snap the axle back into place.

Trine 1.1.

It's half signature bot rebuild and half artbot! :O



It looks a lot like a bot you'd show to a newbie...it's got a demonstration of Snapper Loading, good space management, stacking a CB in a Nifty, shows the three best Stock weapons, how much battery power is needed per 4 spin motors, and what motors are good for the weapons/drive on LW/MW HS. I had to re-Snapper Load it to get the tribars both facing the same way. xD Almost perfectly symmetrical too.



I'd say I would've won with full HP if I'd used two Irons and one razor on each tribar, but I already did. :P Pretty sure 4 Irons/Maces would be better though, except then it won't be as artsy!

Ignore the paintjob, I'm too lazy to properly do that right now. Inside setup is nothing fancy, just two extenders off of the Snapper II. Oh, and has Plastic.

I'll probably rebuild it with 6 Maces on two RADs with a Snowplow in front, although that leaves me with 4 extra kg that I don't know what to use on other than to makes the chassis bigger and protect...something, better. Would still need Plastic though.
