Lightweights are an interesting build, and are a good challenge.
eFFe/Snapper Loading glitches are your friend.

Dammit, I havent mastered that glitch yet!

Sage has got a pretty good video on Snapper Loading.
 
But all you really have to do is place a component on an extender mounted from the Snapper, and then fire the snapper, and click while it's still fired. The component will then be floating in space, and you can attach more components in the space where it would normally be. You can get some mad 6WD Setups with snapper loading. =]

I thought eFFeing's when you rotate a spin motor or servo.

Or fire a burst. Snapper  loading is axle loading a spin motor on a burst motor until it glitches of the “burst  arm”[/size]

IMO, mounting a bunch of parts on an eFFe'ing connector(bad-joke) is easier then snapper loading.

Starting to get the hang of these things and my lightweight is almost done... :)

eFFe/Snapper Load is AMAZING, and you can save a lot of weight with it.

Plus, if you attach a spin motor onto a burst motor or a servo, it spins MUCH faster than it does normally for some reason.

[Somebody]

Names don't matter if you know how to use them. I use them all the time and I have no clue which name is which XD

This is what I was getting at with my Demented Shovel robot. The HP drive let it spin faster, as they are mounted off that Snapper II

The names are here.

And I feel i am instructing a newbie right now !

I know but its irritating lol

Im happy with my servo glitch for the first couple of robots.

[Somebody]

I'll still never remember it Nary XD

[Hi5er]

Finished lightweights and middleweights, but im not too happy with the middle weight, il post screenies later.

[Gigafrost]

Ahh the good ol' days where my competitors were the Stockies, nice vid, nice design and skin so far.

Have you ever got starcore working? Also, I think you can do without those wheels, see if all grannies or if shinnies work for it.

Here's a reference as well to some basic building techniques if you don't know already.

[Hi5er]

Ha :P

Yeah I can beat a lot of the starcore v1 bots just because they're exposed somewhere and have all the weaponry at the front so just drfit round, de-wheel and hit from behind as they spin around helplessly, also I dont understand what all the fuss was with alien queen in starcore v1... Kinda sucks IMO 

[Hi5er]

DOUBLE POST FTW, SOZ!!

Right I am keeping the lightweight hidden and the old middleweight is long gone, but I did notice something on the click beetle about the project trident thingy, so I kind of used that idea to create my SnS 'Swish' the middleweight, I really like using him but he feels a little incomplete... Let me know what you think.

Features:

- 6x Pole Spikes
- 2x Mace Heads
- 2x Pistons protected by chassis
- 2 Wheel HP Ztek Drive
- DSA Armour
- Awesome Custom Paint (Might video it in action as the swirl looks so sweet!)
- Invertible and sometimes the snapper motors even self right it somehow, the pistons occasionally bounce which can lead to some pretty brutal side effects...!

Cons:

- Can only spin in one direction for full effectiveness
- Exposed wheels
- Needs time to charge spin in order to be effective
- Vulnerable to wedges as it has semi-high ground clearance

And now the snapshots:

Outside the robot swish

Comments really appreciated to make this guy better, but im really liking this beauty at the moment, destroys all the stock robots lol!

Pole spikes fail miserably. Replace them with razors, and make the chassis a cross shape to lower chassis weight, and after that, try and replace as many razors as possible with irons.

[Gigafrost]

Not bad there, oh and before you get too far into your design, you may want to avoid circular chassis from here on out to whenever you make any future robots.

 The reason being is that they:

-Give wasted space and extra weight.
-Makes it harder to place more components into.
-Can make your measurements inaccurate, increasing your chances of making a unbalanced bot.

Also change your weapon setup. Avoid using pole spikes or any weapon that has normals (IMO).When you do that, you'll see that your bot will be much more destructive. I agree that you could replace them with razors, and irons if they fit.
