- Don't use pinks.
- Make the motor less exposed (servo loading?).
- Minimize chassis space.
- GIVE IT A PAINT JOB, FOR GOD'S SAKE!
- It needs a wedge.

It's called Snapper loading.
Also, it DOESN'T need a wedge.
Insides would be nice.

Yes, we need weight aand inside pics
Straight away though, I can tell you the setup of the weapon is very bad, I suggest you look into snapper loading.

This is Kill III's inside.

- Don't use that kind of weapon. HS or VS, you choose.
- C'mon, you can crop better than that!
- You only need a Nifty.
- Shrink chassis.
- NEVER use static wedges.
- If you use a wedge, make it stick out farther than the weapon.
- Don't use discs, use tribars instead.

First off, you really need to work on your cropping skills.
Second, its not bad, but it could be better. You could rotate the extenders on the spinners 90 degrees so they would line up with the the razors already on the disc. You could also downgrade to a nifty, and stack the control board into it.

Hahah. You are all so critical. XD

I am going to point out some of the things you are doing right.

-It looks like you are making an effort to keep the chassis small-ish. Keep it up, try to seal things up in there to avoid wasted space as much as possible. The less weight you use on your chassis, the more you have available for weapons.

-You are focusing on using Shiny Wheels. Good job. Those are very efficient for smaller bots.

-You are using an HPZ tek which is a powerful motor choice to work with.

-Wedge is cool... stick it out further so that it wedges the opponent before the weapon though.

-Low chassis height is good, looks like you still have some mobility if your bot gets flipped.

Great starter effort! You have a lot of potential. Try not to take the critics too seriously, but strive to improve. You got some of the basics pretty good. :D

If thats a lightweight HS you dont really need a wedge :D

A tribar is probably better for a HS design, but if you want a face spinner you want a disc and the front attachment points, but then you will need a wedge.

-prepares to be shot by the pros- :P

Kill IIII is so strong that it can beat Child's Play IIIII.

I dun(sparce) see the weight on it.

Bad cropping is bad

freeziez · « **Reply #13 on:** February 11, 2011, 07:00:38 AM »

- Shrink chassis
- Only need a Nifty

Other than that, it's pretty good. :D

BTW, If you want to crop the best, open the picture with Paint and select the Select tool (looks like a box) in the upper right. Make a box around the part of the picture you want and press Ctrl+C (or Edit tab+Copy). Then, go to the Image tab and select, "Clear Image". Once the Image is clear, go to the Image tab again and click on, "Attributes". Make the attributes 1 by 1 (in pixels). Then clear out of JUST THE ATTRIBUTES WINDOW (not Paint itself) and press Ctrl+V (or Edit tab+Paste). And that's your cropping tutorial (or at least how I do it

).

OR you can do it my way

Go edit the picture in paint and use the little box tool (selction tool) near the top right of the bar and put a box around the bit you want.
then put it in the top left corner and click outside of the picture (the grey area) and in the bottom right corner is a little square.
Click on it and drag it to the bottom right corner of the bit you want to use.
Sounds confusing but you'll get it eventually

freeziez · « **Reply #15 on:** February 11, 2011, 10:20:45 AM »

I used to do that, I just feel my way is easier to learn and master.

Here's Kill 4 KOing FIXXXER.

freeziez · « **Reply #17 on:** February 25, 2011, 06:55:57 PM »

It's IV, not IIII. :P

Stagfish · « **Reply #18 on:** February 25, 2011, 08:42:58 PM »

FIXXER is an old and outdated bot.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #19 on:** February 26, 2011, 10:40:02 PM »

Which has always been weak to HS's in any case (see FIXXXER vs. Flail).

That said, Kill IV is not a bad bot. A bit overkill on batteries, but that's really the only thing to possibly complain about. 3 irons + 6 razors is quite good weaponry for a LW.
