I was wondering the same thing

I could tell you guys who did it, but I won't. He just did some cleaning. :P

That's a load of BS when all I was trying to do was give helpful advice, especially after building the bot to show him.

This place is corrupted.

One of the most important things to learn is what weapons to use. Generally, only use razor tips, iron spikes, and maces, axe heads can also be good for ramming purposes, but nothing else. Good weapons to use for your hammer would be razor tips

Another important rule is the KISS principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid), it is generally easier just to focus on one weapon type for your bots, until you get better at building :D

Red extenders, though, good choice.

Despite the fact it matches the axe, I see what you did there.

*Just about every single one of my robots uses Red extenders*

Don't use sawblades in stock. Ever.
Upgrade the wedge to a small wedge, and build to the weight limit.

Oh, and always put your wedge on a snapper.
And servos aren't good weapon motors.

What about DDT's? I thought DDT's made a better wedge?

090901 · « **Reply #32 on:** July 25, 2011, 05:54:20 PM »

ddts, snappers, same thing :P

doublestrand · « **Reply #33 on:** July 27, 2011, 06:52:41 PM »

i've gone way OTT on the razors now :P

090901 · « **Reply #34 on:** July 27, 2011, 06:53:43 PM »

try to put all your weapons in the front of the bot.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #35 on:** July 27, 2011, 06:56:19 PM »

Put multiple razors on one baseplate anchor by means of extenders.
And put the wedges on a DDT so it can act as a stimech if the bot gets flipped over.

NFX · « **Reply #36 on:** July 27, 2011, 07:08:28 PM »

It's Spiny Norman. =D

Generally, all your weapons should face the front unless you're an SnS/Thwack or a Juggler. Try to use round extenders to achieve that, square ones are wasted weight.

doublestrand · « **Reply #37 on:** July 27, 2011, 07:14:48 PM »

right I'll redo it later, thanks good feedback yet again :)
*chuckles* spiny norman :D

TC's latest bot reminds me a lot of this other robot I made, but never showcased.
Basically I called it "Triceratops", and just made the whole thing covered in razors, pole-spikes, etc...

ALSO, I spy Fluttershy on that robot.
Making your own decals, TC?
