Welcome!

I think razors would be better on a spinner.

Hi there- welcome to the forums!

Not bad for a first robot, but I'd recommend upgrading to Z-tek motors with the weight you have, and try using Irons on connectors for the spinner.

Pretty good bot.

Middleweights can go up to nearly 400.0 in weight. You want to try to get as close to the limit as possible.

So you could change the drive motors to HP Z-teks and add more and better weapons. And one Black Battery could probably supply this bot with all the juice it needs. If you rearranged the insides, you could also add a snowplow.

Welcome to the boards. =] Not too bad for a first bot, I reckon, but there are a few things to take note of.

Middleweights can weight up to 399.0kg, and you should always try to use as much of the weight as possible, without wasting it. Empty space inside the chassis is a big eater of weight, so you should try to get it as small as possible for the components.

In terms of batteries, one Blackvolt can power 4 HPZ-Teks for 3 minutes. This bot only needs one, therefore, so that gives you some more weight to play with. I think HPZ drive might be a bit fast, so try to get a secondary weapon HPZ on the SnapperII, which you should be able to do with the eFFe glitch.

As for weapons, maces and iron spikes are normally the best for a HS, so try to use them if you can. I think you could attach a snowplow or ramplate on the front with a Baseplate Anchor if you have the weight for it, as this could use some form of defense.

Much better, but I can see you using up the extra weight for something like six irons if you use black extenders well.

No. You've got the weaponry all wrong, use the same type of weapon on all of the extenders. So, use 3 irons or 3 maces instead of that setup you have there. Also, you only need 1 black for that, and you can make that chassis smaller.

What's the weight?
Title: Re: FreddieTheRobot's... um... Robots.
Post by: NFX on April 29, 2011, 03:51:50 PM
Okay, that's going to be quite unbalanced. A spike strip weight 14kg, so the Snapper's going to be bouncing around like heck there. FOTEPX has it right, use the same sort of weapon on all three extenders, and you can also attach a second extender parallel to the first with the side attachment points, and you can attach 3 more weapons to it.

There's this glitch armor called DSA. To get it, you must ignore the armor tab. Only use plastic when you don't have enougth weight left.
Use these weapons:
Maces
Razors
Iron Spikes
Ninja Stars and static saws if you want to make a sawbot(not recomended).

Saws are only really good on frequency rammers like that one SM made recently. Or that sawbot Wacky Bob made.

Upgrade the wedges to Small Wedges and get rid of the small battery pack.
Title: Re: FreddieTheRobot's... um... Robots.
Post by: NFX on July 24, 2011, 11:34:00 AM
Flip the motors around so the shaft's at the back, too. Then you can get rid of the pointless extender work at the back.

The same inside except for the small battery that got removed and no wheelie bar.

Any more comments?

You should now be able to spend some of the extra weight on getting yourself a chassis wedge to complement the two DDT Wedges. Perhaps you could add a ramplate for some frontal protection, and make it a rupting flipper instead.
