I don't think I ever started out doing that. XD

I made drillbot with a razor tip attached to a Z-Tek, not knowing about the chicken glitch at all at the time. It was my second ever bot or something like that.

Not bad. Try bringing the middle plow a little lower down and shrinking some of the space at the front. Other than that, great bot. ;)

I might shrink the chassis, and try mounting the plows off of a Snapper2, to try and reduce the gaps between them.

well i came up with a very effective looking bot, its got the ram plates for protection, and the plow can be set up a little higher so they dont go over the spinners. the weapons are faced downward so it grinds the front,side,or back of the chassis, this is just a prototype, so what do you guys think of the concept?

Looks like quite a good bot in my view. Just a couple of things, first of all, there's going to be a problem with invertibility. And second, you could shrink the chassis a bit and mount the weapon motors on a snapperII to save some weight for more weapons.

yeah i was thinking of putting the wedges on DDT's hoping that it will make it able to scrimmech, and anytime i put zteks on snapper II's, Servos or any other type of thing besides anchors,DDT's and green snappers it bounces like crazy, everything i do try try and make it not bounce wont work, thats why i dont have servo enchanced VS and things of the sort

I know how you feel. When I built TTTTM, I mountes the Z-Teks on Snapper2's, and the bot bounced like heck, making the wedges useless. Maybe mount them on a DDT, a DDT can deal with more weight than the other burst motors.

I was thinking about making a bot like this, it was going to have 4 spinners instead of three and use caster armor and stuff. You might want to get rid of all that empty space in the front and see if you can add more stuff.

I still don't get how you guys mount weapon motors to blue snappers/servos and they bounce and wobble. never experienced that in my game unless the weapons were AGODed.

Looks quite good, but you may want 2 wedges Or make that wedge longer.

You might want to rebuild the chassis and move the weapons farther back, so the AI can get on top of them and be damaged effectively.

i is back  and i come with a gift! Half baked!
since everybody was using battle axes, and i had alot of left over space, decided to use them. it works as a trapping device thing, so i can hit effectively hit with the DDT's  :gawe:



no idea what to do with other wight, besides more weapons or something. anything ideas?

and imo emergency wedges are somewhat wedgier then small ones. it can get under ALL the bots in V3, even NWB and RPB.

E-wedges are still a bit suckier than small wedges, but in your case, you just hit the sweet spot on the pressure applied (just like Shadow Tyrant).

To use up the free weight, you can try replacing the ramplates with casters. Not sure if the wedginess will be retained, though.
