Clever extender usage. All weapon motors should be no more than 2 extender attachments away from the snapper to be able to have 36 maces. Actually, they're quite easy to do. What's tough is to imitate what he did with the remaining weight (like adding 2 ramplates). XD

Ok. I won't add ramplates.

I still don't understand how he managed to do it with one snapper II.

Can anyone help?

What's even harder is doing it on one snapper2... :D

Anyways, it just takes a good amount of planning and knowledge of how glitches can work. If you don't know how to snapper load, then it will be pretty much impossible. Take a look at my sig for good tutorials on snapper loading. After you get that down it's just a matter of coming up with a setup, and then pulling it off. For me, I come up with my setups on my walk home from school (which is a mile or so). And then I go into bot lab and see if they work. If they work, I then calculate if I will have enough weight to add everything I want to and if there will be any leftover. I write all this down and then, FINALLY, do I actually build it.

Hope that helps. Maybe you should try a 2 snapper II 36HS first. IN WHICH CASE:

The point of making a 36 HS is that you figure it out yourself to prove your skills. The rules are also fairly strict:

1. 36 weapons that weight 10 kgs each, ex. Iron Spikes and Maces. (You can, if you have the weight, add a frontal weapon for protection)

2. These 36 weapons will be on 4 tribars that are on 4 HP-Zteks.

3. The drive will be 2 HP-Zteks, usually with shiny hub wheels on them.

4. The power will be 2 Black Batteries.

5. This is optional, but you will get much more respect if you can make it invertible as well.


That said, I have built a lot of them and will you give you a few tips:

1. Pretty much the only way is to use two blue Snapper II's. There are two workable designs that use 2 servos and a few with one snapper II... but i already made those :P

2. You should learn snapper loading before you attempt this. (Look in my signature for a tutorial.)

3. There are many, many ways to do a setup for this type of bot (which is why they are fun to build) but it's becoming hard to come up with new ones as of late. I would suggest looking at other peoples versions and copying the design. After you make your first it's easier to design a new setup.

4. Come up with the setup in your head or on paper before even attempting it in game. This will usually help. The weight of the stuff is 762-766 kgs (depending on if you use 2 20cms or 4 20cms for your setup) or 774 (if you choose granny guard wheels instead of shiny hubs) so your chassis will have to be fairly small. The breakdown for the components is here:

360= Weapons

120= Weapon Motors

60= Drive Motors

60= Batteries

56= Tribars

48= Extenders for weapons

26= Snapper II's

24= Wheels (Shiny Hubs) OR 36= Granny Guard Wheels

4-8= Extenders for setup

4= Control Board

I've got a new bot for you all. Last night I was messing around trying to make a 36 Mace HS. Instead I came up with a 24 Iron HS. Here it is:
(Image removed from quote.)

Rate and comment! (I'm off to build my lightweight again.)

^^ That is the 24 iron HS that I made a while ago.

By the way, thanks for the tips.  :bigsmile:

Wow, that looks exactly like Absolute Chaos's setup xD Just... longer. Import AC into your bot lab and take a look at it. See if you can replicate it.

Congrats!

On the MW, you don't need another black. I'd go for more weapons instead.

On my middleweight HS I have added a few more maces onto each tribar and now it can do this:



...It can beat Fury from Starcore V.3!!!

You should download Inf AI or Starcore v4 beta. Inf AI is better.

Mount it on the other AP, attacth the drive to the secret AP, then attach the birds to the main axle using snapper loading.
