switch to a t or y extender. no reason not to use one if you're building a symmetric bot with a setup like this.

i would recommend putting your drive directly on the baseplate, it should weigh about the same + you'll get less exposed motors and more chassis hp.

not really much else to say, there really isn't a lot of freedom on mw hs until you learn how to effectively snapper load/download component freedom (or learn how to effectively use cf)

Yeah the only real problem is the exposed drive


For once the mods did something right

SnS that can pose as an HS. It's unbalanced against certain arena/robot combos (like Fury in the RA2T arena, and Re-Stocked Bushido in the Combat Zone) but spins stably against most robots.

Yeah that's pretty much the best you can make out of an unbursted 9HS. The SnS would probably work better with static motors for more stability. Still pretty nice.

Rebuilt the VS a few weeks ago.

12 Maces and an iron for top protection.

I have built a wall. With some tweaking I will build a great wall -- and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me -- and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall.

It doesn't wobble much. Hates power HS.

Something is inefficient here. I could get in another caster.

I think I know what's different. Did you stack the CB?

The drive can be attached to the extender through another extender, saving 4kg total. Try to stack the CB into the black, shrink the chassis further and you'll have enough weight for all maces/irons.

I got the extra weight off of just a chassis shrink. I may still try to stack the CB for practice/awesome points.

You only really need RADs on MW HS, otherwise you're spending weight that other HS are using to outweapon you, and that speed isn't helping you against popups.

Im pretty sure it loses to a HS, and everything else has a wedge, so it loses to them too. It needs a wedge and more weapons, maybe angle the discs and make it a gutripper with weaker weapon motors to allow you more weapons.
