so... something like this?

no one told me you had to rotate the irons...

VERY much better. But since you have tons of battery power, you can change the Snapper to a DDT and add more weapons. You have tons of free weight to do that. :D

ok. i'll do that. right now i'm juggling typing in the dark, getting ai-ed bots into dsl, and making this bot not suck as much. hands are full, but not as much as say Click's :-D

im a bot of a perfectionist so I would add an extra black extender on the right hand side to even things up but yeah that's looking quite the killer bot :-D

the shape and the axe reminds me of mortis lol

ok, i expanded the chassis and still had space issues, so i ditched the hammer and made this:

is that better?

YEEESSS!!!!!

Don't use N-12s though, no matter how cool they look.

Hydro · « **Reply #26 on:** May 10, 2009, 07:37:45 AM »

aw, man :-D

those are my favorites...

what wheels do you suggest?

Somebody · « **Reply #27 on:** May 10, 2009, 07:38:46 AM »

try shinies (but the chassis must be only 5 pixels high for those to make you invertible), and if those don't work, then use grannies.

Hydro · « **Reply #28 on:** May 10, 2009, 07:39:57 AM »

ok. i'll see what i can do.

*goes to edit bot*

Pwnator · « **Reply #29 on:** May 10, 2009, 07:40:37 AM »

OHHH YYYYYEAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!

And Somebody's right. Use grannies instead.

Oh. And you forgot the control board. I think. I don't see it.

[Edit] Damn, Somebody's fast.

so am i.

here's a top-down pic:

i'll get you a side pic im just a second.

*goes to image uploader*

here you go. as you can see, it's barely invertible. had extra weight/space so i added a nifty.

RedSawn · « **Reply #31 on:** May 10, 2009, 07:52:57 AM »

Save the server - use PNG.

Anyway, it's looking better. Masses of wasted space but a respectable build.
The Nifty was unnecessary - 2 Supervolts are more then enough.

Hydro · « **Reply #32 on:** May 10, 2009, 07:54:21 AM »

yeah, space is my next hurdle. right now i'm gonna go baptise this behemoth in fire.

and i'll use png images from now on.

Pwnator · « **Reply #33 on:** May 10, 2009, 07:58:41 AM »

Ooh. That's a big chassis. Hmmm... you can still make the chassis lower but still be able to house the HPZs. You might also want to consider slimming the chassis down a bit, but that would expose the wheels - your choice. And Redline's right - ditch the nifty. You can also put the control board on top of the Supervolts too. Then with all that extra weight, you can either add another piston with spikes, or put a snapper wedge.

[Edit] I AM A SLOW POSTER. x_x

Naryar · « **Reply #34 on:** May 10, 2009, 07:59:39 AM »

It's actually not too bad...

You can get rid of the nifty (2 blacks are more than enough), rebuild the chassis to reduce empty space, and most importantly reduce chassis height to the minimum and get shiny hubs. You'll be invertible with 24kg less spent on wheels.

I'm also pretty sure a large CO2 tank is better than 2 small ones for less weight so you'd be better with just one 14kg CO2 tank rather than 2 10kg ones.

You will be able to add more irons to your upper weapon then.

EDIT: Damn you guys beat me to it.

now thats a mean stock fighting Machine :-D I know what you mean I like the N-12s too lol I used them on my Brawl of the builders entry

Just export your bot and download RA2 again (it's in Inf's Summer Magic topic, I believe).
