There are two racks...

and if i use shinys, wont it make me uninvertible

That jsut means you should lower the chassis. If you keep a close eye on the height slider, it needs to be five "clicks" tall for HPZ's to fit exactly. That'll make it invertible, and give you the room for both racks, then you could extend the weapon racks further outwards, make them wider to prevent being flanked.

if you can put a ztek in but not a green snapper2 vertically, you have achieved minimum height

Excluding flippers. Everyone seems to be abusing that rule (including me

), but I'm pretty sure a rammer could do well. Although I'm not certain spamming weapons would be a good idea, it's sort of abusing the mechanics of the game a fair bit.

well thats too many weapons if you're going for irl realism

i tried to enter a rammer and the host only allowed me to put 3 irons on my bot... you might be able to get away with 4 tho

Provided you're building a flipper. If not, then you can't.

What was I thinking, building a rammer, I don't build those. Went with someting more my style.

It's not very combat effective (still not sure if I want this for RWS8 or if I should try a hammer) It as Steel amrour. The reason I have about 100 pounds (thats right peeps, the metric system is for nerds

) is because after I finished it I had about a 100 pounds of space left. I couldn't think of anything useful for it so I went crazy. I guess it adds to the Realism factor though.

put a baseplate anchor + iron spike at the front on so it can do damage

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #70 on:** April 26, 2012, 06:15:06 PM »

I tried. It dosn't fit. Unless I move the battery pack, then maybe.

NFX · « **Reply #71 on:** April 26, 2012, 06:21:44 PM »

If you do decide to add an iron spike on the front, make sure it doesn't prevent robots getting onto the flippers. If you take a look through my showcase for the first version of Iron Oxide, that might be the way you'd want to go about adding an iron on the front. Just to stop them going straight over the top.

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #72 on:** April 26, 2012, 06:26:21 PM »

Now I can't get the contol board in.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #73 on:** April 26, 2012, 06:28:34 PM »

angle the iron upwards (use a 45^o ba) and see if that helps, if not then try a 65^o one, if you still can't, then you'll probably need to rebuild the chassis

also swap the grannies for rubbers

NFX · « **Reply #74 on:** April 27, 2012, 03:15:53 AM »

The Control Board can be stacked into the Blackvolt. It's a pretty difficult stack to pull off, it requires a steady hand and a lot of patience, but it is doable, and perfectly within the rules for RWS8, IIRC.

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #75 on:** April 27, 2012, 03:27:11 PM »

Nah, I switched my idea again. The flipper sucked anyway. Decided to go back to a rammer. I will post the picture later today. Maybe.

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #76 on:** May 26, 2012, 03:32:11 PM »

Entry for RWS8. Regretting it now. It is very small and battery life is very low. However, it did suprise me in its Sumo match, especialy going up against EMERGENCY, which was 3x its size.

I love that skin, dunno why...

Naryar · « **Reply #78 on:** May 27, 2012, 02:05:31 AM »

It's... big?

NFX · « **Reply #79 on:** May 27, 2012, 04:16:49 AM »

At least it's fast and pushy. A bit like the Series 4 Tornado. Skin's a little bit basic.
