I've got a new bot for you all and it can out-wedge Neglected Waterbug!

Here it is:

2 blacks (stacked)
DSA
8 HP Zteks
4 Discs with 4 irons on each
2 snapper IIs

Rate and comment guys!

Wow. It's pretty rare to see bots with blue snappers that can outwedge NWB. Good job!

I'm quite worried about those exposed motors, though. Most HS could eat them in seconds.

I've noticed that but it usually kills them before they fall off.

lol and it's a VS too.

I'm not too sure about the side protection you have, but good bot.

I tink they're stabilisers.

Correct. But they are also for wheel protection.

Sage · « **Reply #146 on:** April 10, 2010, 11:44:18 AM »

Try using plows for stablizers instead.

Remind me how heavy those discs are please.

@Sage - I'll try to eFFe them on but before when I tried my game was being stupid and the snappers wouldn't fire.

@G.K - 17kg.

G.K. · « **Reply #149 on:** April 10, 2010, 02:18:28 PM »

They're wasted weight then. Put an extender on each of the disc's attachment points and rotate them so the large part is facing inwards. Attach the irons on like that. You'll have weight for the plows.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. I though the HPZ's were chained. My advice is invalid.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #150 on:** April 10, 2010, 02:25:55 PM »

Nah... don't worry G.K.

I think I already have enough weight by using a 20cm extender sideways off of the one attached to the extender on the snapper II. Then if I eFFe another extender on I could use the sideways attachment points to attach the plow. (It's a lot easier to understand when I do it. :P)

Gazea2 · « **Reply #151 on:** April 11, 2010, 11:24:24 AM »

DP!

I've got plows on it:

Is there anything else I can improve on?

Gazea2 · « **Reply #152 on:** April 11, 2010, 02:18:04 PM »

No comments?

Sage · « **Reply #153 on:** April 11, 2010, 02:49:43 PM »

It's only been a few hours. Plus, there's nothing really different from the last version besides the plows. Tell us what it does poorly and we can help improve it that way. If it beats most bots consistently, then we don't need to comment on it :)

Ok. :)

One thing that I need help with is getting it to self-right. Whenever it gets flipped over, which is a lot of the time, it has no way to self-right. It justs moves around the arena on its iron spikes. Help?

Sage · « **Reply #155 on:** April 12, 2010, 03:01:42 PM »

Try spinning the motors the other way.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #156 on:** April 14, 2010, 04:50:47 AM »

I've got a new bot for you all. Here it is:

I know it is underweight but I don't know what else to put onto it.

Rate and comment guys!

Man... You NEED front armor to hope to win a match against anything else than a gut-ripper.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #158 on:** April 14, 2010, 05:55:03 AM »

Here is my updated version with front armour:

Anything else that I could improve on?

Doomkiller · « **Reply #159 on:** April 14, 2010, 05:58:49 AM »

Using up all the weight?

Think of things that could hinder this bot, and think of ways to help make it less hindered.

For instance, can it self right?
