Here are two bots that I have been working on. Both have two HP Zteks stacked as weapon power, two HP Zteks as drive, and two Black Batteries for power.

FINALLY, A NEW USER WITH SKILLS!

They look awesome, but you really need to put more weapons on those spinners.

Looks good!

I'd say fool around with the chassis to enclose the motors and put on more weapons on the spinner with extenders.

I assume you know what I mean, since it looks like you've seen the Beetlebros' tips.

Three simple rules that should lead you to a relative amount of success:
- Always use as many weapons as you can, but use them wisely, i.e. Only Razor Tips, Iron Spikes or Maces
- Always build to the weight limit, while keeping your bots as compact as possible
- KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid)

Swap the Emergency wedge with a Small Wedge on a DDT. It's been proven that smalls are wedgier.

Get the drive motors inside the chassis and replace the n-12s for grannies or shinies.

Use the plow setup you used on the first one on the second one. It helps trap bots.

Try to get more weapons on there.

Overstated a bit there.

And *cough*Geice*cough*

Build to the weight limit as well, You have a good extra 100 kgs.

Here is the updated version. I do not think that there is a way to stack the weapons because the weapon is the 7th part attached to the base. Kept the drive motors outside to help with control. Does anyone have any ideas about protecting them?

Enigm@ · « **Reply #10 on:** July 09, 2011, 05:47:14 PM »

Still has unnecessary anchors. Make it so that the z-teks are in the chassis.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 09, 2011, 06:04:19 PM »

Make the wedge longer, it'll help with balance

Here is the newest version of the bot.

I liked the look of the second version with the chained spinners at the top on a wedge. I would go with that type of chassis, put some ramplates or something on it on the wedge, and some rad hs or something else.

Would the ram plates stop bots from getting up to the killzone and what do you mean by rad hs?

Badger · « **Reply #16 on:** July 11, 2011, 09:37:59 AM »

RAD=Right Angled Drive
HS=Horizontal Spinner

Your HS is rad!

ayak420 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 13, 2011, 07:38:59 PM »

So here is the new version that I just whipped up. The angle motors spin towards the center of the bot to keep opponents in the middle. Had no weight to spare for the ram plates.

HS-VS hybrid with a wedge? Interesting and ambitious, but the lack of weaponry and the fact that the HS part will prevent the VS from hitting anything makes this cool, yet innefective.

Remove the wedge, move the HS back to the VS can connect, and use the rest on adding weapons to the VS/HS parts.t

And try to put allthe connectors in the middle, so you can shrink the chassis by a lot Also, this will need 3 or 4 blacks.

That is all I can think of. Still very cool, though.
