Decent bots, try stacking the batteries next time, and probably work on your extender setup a little bit. You can still minimize a little bit more space out of the bot.

Thanks, ive been working on stacking blacks but those thing are a pain. but ill keep trying.

It is just a case of trial and error, unfortunately. Sometimes they stack, sometimes they don't. I've found myself resizing a chassis up to five times just to get the blacks to stack.

wow. Are there any tips for stacking blacks? or is it just luck pretty much.

It's just luck. Sorry. =D Tends to be exactly the same on one axis, and then slightly offset on the other.

Inception 2 looks good, though I wonder where all the weight is. Most VS's like that can have 4WD no problem. And getting under NWB is awesome.

Fatal Emergency doesn't really have a good setup... at all. It's almost always better to just attach the drive motors to the baseplate on popups. If you use Snapper II's for the drive you want to go for a super flat, super compact design. Also you should use either two wedges, or one really long one. One short wedge is all but useless in the HW class because most bots have two and will get around it.

all of the weight on inception 2 is mostly the 3 plows, and the 4 green snappers. 2 for the wedges since blue snappers arent really that good, and 2 for the 2 front plows, since once again, the blues dont hold weight very good.

as for fatal, only reason i used the drive on the snapper is because the snappers hold the wedges and didnt have enough room for the drive. ill rebuild it and see how it goes. thanks click.

Very true :P

Well since the vs i was working on is unbelievably unstable..i had to ragequit before i busted my keyboard. so i just decided to make a pop-up.

Cant find a way to build to the weight limit, any ideas?

DSA, 8 spikes/2 on each DDT. Casters which i guess work against low spinners. 2 sloppily stacked blacks

Cheese please · « **Reply #52 on:** August 01, 2010, 04:38:49 AM »

One last bot before i go. I've seen alot of people make jugglers, but most of them look some what like NWB. So i decided to make one that is as far as nwb as it can be.

Lets just call it ARC...name is too long.

Really the only way that it resembles NWB is the tribar, because i couldn't figure out how to put the plow and 2 zteks in the chassis.

DSA,8 Spikes, 8 Razors, 1 Black (couldn't be hassled to stack right now).

I plan to rebuild the bot, that's why its not at max weight and only has 1 bat. but for only having 1 bat it does pretty good.
Any ideas on how to improve? and if you were wondering the spike strips on the front are to take out wedges that are close ( like inside the clock, Epic, Etc.)

Vertigo · « **Reply #53 on:** August 01, 2010, 05:06:28 AM »

Those spike strips aren't helping much, might be wise to replace them with a ramplate, & then you would have weight for a second supervolt

Replace them with A "RAMPLATE" or with "RAMPLATES" cause if i do "RAMPLATES" then still wouldnt have enough weight for battery.

ALSO: im trying to make a 36 hs...and i got the 9 extenders setup on a tribar how you usually do a spinner, but it will only let me put 1 spike on 1 of the 3 extenders.... either this game hates me or im doing it wrong?

Vertigo · « **Reply #55 on:** August 01, 2010, 05:54:38 AM »

A RAMPLATE (SINGULAR, ONE) ;P

Cheese please · « **Reply #56 on:** August 01, 2010, 05:56:16 AM »

oh fail haha ok thanks, ill do that tomorrow

Sage · « **Reply #57 on:** August 01, 2010, 01:17:55 PM »

Juggler still looks like NWB, just with a different chassis :)

UMMM and the popup is decent but could use more armor. Also, use razor tips, not iron spikes.

Vertigo · « **Reply #58 on:** August 01, 2010, 04:30:58 PM »

Can we see the insides of the juggler please Cheesy?

Yeah but in most cases you kinda have to use the same setup as NWB. you want a plow on the back so they stay, you want 2 zteks on the front

.

And there really nothing but empty space and what not, it was just a test but yeah ill post inside

EDIT: Here is the very ugly inside...

i do plan to rebuild, thats why theres so much empty space, 1 black and all that good stuff
