Posting because I was mentioned ^_^

But anyways, I really like the way this showcase is heading. You're doing great work.

thanks a lot

new bot :O

the only flaw in this bot i think is its stability. the only way the bot will work is if you get the enemy bot on the wedges, then turn on the weapons, other then that the bot will just bounce and the bots will go under the wedges

I'm not seeing why you need that long single wedge when you already have two other wedges.

Add to it, its always broken off in all the battle shots.

My guess is he had no idea what els he could add, so just stuck something random on.

actually the long wedge is to help get under them easier... the two small ones suck no matter how low i put them, so i just put the long one there for easier access to the under part

Try to minimize the open space inside the chassis. Always try to build as close to the weight limit as you can get (for example 797 would be good, but 783 like this is kinda pushing it. Better than 500 kgs but still...)

i was trying to build to the limit, but cant find anything else to put on it to make it that.

Nifty battery or a random baseplate anchor with a iron.

Upgrade the double wedges to DDTs and ditch the single wedge?

Cheese please · « **Reply #129 on:** August 15, 2010, 07:27:45 PM »

DDT's wont fit because of 1. the drive motors and 2. the anchor holding the ram plate is blocking the way. so either rebuild chassis and stick DDT's or take off the ramplates and stick DDT's instead

Then redraw the chassis.

If you don't wanna lose your work, just export the bot and then redraw the chassis.

Yup thats what I do. And I have a gargantuan Robot Designs folder full of failbots XD

redid volcom and let me tell you...servo Vs are a pain in the ass...they bounce too much >:\

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #136 on:** August 16, 2010, 11:10:29 PM »

Save weight and put both weapon motors on a blue snapper.

Cheese please · « **Reply #137 on:** August 16, 2010, 11:12:12 PM »

blue snappers barely hold 110 pounds of weight, and they bounce more then servos do..

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #138 on:** August 16, 2010, 11:26:47 PM »

Uhh yes they do. The VS above has both weapon motors on the blue snapper and does fine and is not even bouncy. Dunno why yours is so bouncy, might be AGOD? click F12 to see if the collision mesh lines up with the weapons.

Cheese please · « **Reply #139 on:** August 17, 2010, 01:14:25 AM »

ok ill test it and see what happens. and what about collision mesh? how do i know if its lined up or not
