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?

No, it can't. Thanks for the idea. :)

Aside from the srimech, spend the rest of the free weight with side trappers.

You mean snowplows on the sides to trap bots?

Add more plows, widen them out, and angle the outside ones.

Lower the upper plow to the point that it's almost touching the lower plow, and angle it a bit downwards.

That reminds me of that old Windows screensaver with the pipes that go every-which-way.  :O

Really like the plow setup, I always thought cool plow setups were underrated. Nice work. looks like it can scoop up HS's fairly well, but I can't help but question them sliding up those plows and regaining enough room to spin.


For once the mods did something right

It actually performs quite well. It can ruin a HS's motors very easily.

Hehe... Wait... It does! :P

Thanks. :) They do spin sometimes but most of the time I either destroy the motors
or the plows take the hits.

EDIT: I'm a middleweight!

I've got an idea for a bot in my head but I need some help. It involves the Trovaner Chassis Glitch. I can only make a triangle chassis using the glitch. How can you make one with a rectangle on each side?

Oh, sorry, I didn't see your post. To make one with a rectangle on each side, it takes a little thought. It's really hard to explain in words.

Make a wide |__| shape with the bottom below the 2x2 square in the middle (make sure you do it starting with the top right point).
Now, make a _      _  shape. Go on with the normal Trov glitch now. You'll get these really big points. You can move those down manually.
                  | |__|  |
                  |_____|
Uncheck the snap-to-grid button and then you should be able to make a rectangle shape on each side.

Hope that helps, I know it's confusing xD

I can only make triangles on each side. :/
I can't move the points around to get the rectangles because it messes up the shape.
