Oh, Ok. How's this?

1 Supervolt
Plastic Armour
Decent wedges

You are going to want to get DSA on there one way or another.

Well, DSA brings me up to 420.3. I could downgrade to normal Zteks and Redbird drive and make the wedges further apart, but that's all I can think up.

My guess would be shrink the chassis by attaching motors via snappers (you could use the wedge snappers, although Snapper IIs suck for wedges), or switch the irons to razor tips.

I'll see what I can do tommorow. Right now, I'm more tired than... something funny... that's tired.

Redbirds/RADs for weapon motors?

FOTEPX · « **Reply #166 on:** September 12, 2010, 07:15:19 PM »

Done. DSA Armour added. Also, the name of this bot, for the moment, is Gigadrill.

Doomkiller · « **Reply #167 on:** September 12, 2010, 07:27:22 PM »

how well does it fair?

I would try making the drive faster, and maybe making the weapon motors into redbirds or just z-teks. See how it goes then.
Lest, thats what I would try. O, and add razor tips :P

FOTEPX · « **Reply #168 on:** September 12, 2010, 07:31:24 PM »

I'm VERRRRRRRRY against having razors on this thing, unless there is some distinct proof that Razors are better. Also, Z-teks really aren't needed. Redbirds perform just fine on this.

Doomkiller · « **Reply #169 on:** September 12, 2010, 07:32:21 PM »

you don't have to add razors if you don't want to, but try it with faster drive, just to see how it goes.

Did a 'lil speed test. With Zteks, it takes 3.5 seconds to travel the lengh of the test area. With redbirds, 4 seconds. Personally, not worth wasting the 8 kg's for just .5 of a seconds difference.

Speed Isnt All About How Fast Your Bot Moves, it Can Make A Difference In A Battle Of Strength, So if i were you, Ztek the

outta that Sumbich.

I take it you forgot to read again...

HPZs help turning, not only straight line speed.

And I need to make a mental note to test those motors now...

FOTEPX · « **Reply #175 on:** September 16, 2010, 09:51:57 AM »

Since all you guys have been begging me to add Z-teks, here ya go. Downgraded the weapon motors to Z-teks and added Z-tek drive. The wedges seem better as well.

Call me crazy, but if you mounted all of the frontal weapons/wedges on a Snapper, you could probably save a lot more weight ;)

Doesn't look terribly bad.

And you've inverted the colours on the wedges, haven't you? =D

J24, please don't quote massive images straight away. And FOTEPX, you should probably crop your screenshots. I don't want to say "we all know what the bot lab looks like", but......we kinda do. =P

I'll do that next time, but keep in mind, I'm really lazy.

No, Lazy is building the whole thing off a Snapper.
