Well, I decided to construct a few stock robots.

here's the first. took 15 minutes to build. and yes, there are irons under the ice picks.

any comments are welcome.

SQUARE EXTENDERS! :O

Remove those stuff at the back, and add more weapons to the hammers (and curve them). :D

Don't you already have a showcase?
Pwnator is right, and that chassis is massive.

Hydro · « **Reply #3 on:** May 09, 2009, 08:23:47 PM »

yeah, shoulda warned ya about the square extenders.

so rid myself of the stuffs on square extenders and curve the hammers as well as add weapons to them... ok!

*goes to accomplish said tasks*

here you go:

i curved the hammers and added another iron. i also added more batteries.

is it any better?

that is better :-D but maybe ditch the pinks move the air tank to one of the side areas at the back or if it doesn't fit use ctrl to lift it, then put in a second super volt to replace the pinks you just removed :-D any extra weight just maybe effe in some iron spikes up the black extenders

Hydro · « **Reply #5 on:** May 09, 2009, 08:48:25 PM »

i tried that and it didnt work. so, yeah.

You need more than one black though. Probably at least two.

Hydro · « **Reply #7 on:** May 09, 2009, 08:51:18 PM »

then i shall figure out a way. or, i'll just make a new bot. be right back.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #8 on:** May 09, 2009, 08:53:19 PM »

if you need more space things like control boards easily fit on top of supervolts, and base anchors can be put in the middle of control boards (if your patient) you probably could have moved the bursts to the top of the bot and put the air tank below them

takatsukiyayoi · « **Reply #9 on:** May 09, 2009, 08:58:47 PM »

I think that without even stacking, that you have the room for at least two SuperVolts (try removing some of the pinks and relocating the airtank). You also have some weight left over, maybe add some weapons?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #10 on:** May 09, 2009, 09:01:57 PM »

woah Déjà vu haha :-D guess everyone's thinking the same

Hydro · « **Reply #11 on:** May 09, 2009, 09:27:54 PM »

tried all of these. it's a lost cause, i'm afraid.

so here's another bot.

comments?

edit: ah sh** didnt go to the weight limit...

JoeBlo · « **Reply #12 on:** May 09, 2009, 09:59:50 PM »

not bad but VERY under armed for a heavyweight try getting rid of the iron spikes and putting black extenders right to the edge of the bot and filling them with more razors or iron spikes

Hydro · « **Reply #13 on:** May 09, 2009, 10:01:54 PM »

ok... i'll do just that :-D

edit: i hate trying that... it's hard.

is this kinda better?

You could have a whole row of razors attached to the burst piston by using a t-connector with black extenders coming out of it. I'd ditch the stationary spikes completely to make room for this. 2 black batteries is plenty for 4 HP z-teks. Also, consider swapping the wheels for some that are big enough to make your bot invertible, perhaps the Slipperbottoms?

that was my above idea they Hydro said was a pain to do (which it can sometimes be in stock) marked extenders make it easier

@hydro: your still well under there is anther 200kg of weaponry you could add there that's what? 20 iron spikes?

Seriously Hydro, you have been around longer the newest members and make worse bots than they do!

And there is a way to attach 20cm extenders with ease, without needing to rotate them in order to get the spikes pointed forwards. Just place the fist one to the T extenger by the tops connection point(in the prewiev picture) then the next one with the bottom one and then again the next with the top one, keep repeating that until you are at the limit.

With Tankcat (technically he should count) around, atleast 70% of the community make worse bots.

Ah well. Yeah, the bots could be better. With the realistic rule they might be tougher, but some of them don't even follow that.

Don't push your luck guys. He IS building, which is better than what he did for his first 8 months on the forums.
