This is one of my first bots , heeheh .
critism pls

Better than the normal first bot, but still pretty bad.

Always:
Don't use Right Angle motors on HWs
Use DSA
Build to the weight limit
Fill up the chassis
Fit chassis around components.

Kristjan, my advice is to go right here for bot building advice:

(SB didn't said what is DSA; answer can be found here)

Also for precise statistics:

Plus, ballasts are purely weight lost.

oh, thanks ppl

Why doesn't it flip a sh**? :S :D

Somebody · « **Reply #5 on:** February 26, 2009, 11:27:23 AM »

BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO BATTERY POWER. 1 Nifty is only enough to power 2 normal Z-Teks. You need 1 Supervolt for the drive, and at least one more, probably more than that for the burst motors. And please try to build to the weight limit.

Also, does it have DSA?

Also, I don't think that the mace can even reach where the bot would be.

Also, Don't use square extenders. They are the exact same as circular ones, only square and heavier.

Also, try to use the side attachment points on the extenders instead of angle connectors.
This could probably be made into a Middleweight with some effort.

Take it easy

haahah

Somebody · « **Reply #7 on:** February 26, 2009, 11:35:24 AM »

But seriously. Get more batteries.

SB, I think you over-reacted a little bit.
He is right though, that thing is way underweight, and needs more battery power.

Naryar · « **Reply #9 on:** February 26, 2009, 12:05:24 PM »

SB stop being an ass to the newbie. He's being respectful and nice, there's no need to tell his bot is crap and yell at him.

That needs 3 or 4 black batteries.

Also the mace on a DDT (we call that a "hammer") is pretty much worthless.

hehe, dont worry , im already makin new and better bot :D

Kristjanq · « **Reply #11 on:** February 26, 2009, 01:22:00 PM »

This is my other version of the flipper i made some time ago.
Added some weaps n' stuff.

suggestions pls

RedSawn · « **Reply #12 on:** February 26, 2009, 01:58:19 PM »

Hmmm... well, there's quite a bit of front protection. Which is good. The wheels could be protected too though.
Two DDTs... sometimes isn't enough for a good flipper in the HW class. Or atleast it's harder to get a powerful flip.
A lot of wasted space there. Might be able to shrink the chassis by about 10~25%.
Needs to use the 800kg limit more.

Kristjanq · « **Reply #13 on:** February 26, 2009, 02:07:41 PM »

Ok , thanks for ur advice

i hoped that the flipper will flipp opponent on thos two spike things and make some dmg :)

Reier · « **Reply #14 on:** February 26, 2009, 02:11:12 PM »

Yes, always try to build to the weight limit.

Kristjanq · « **Reply #15 on:** February 26, 2009, 02:35:43 PM »

Here's a picture where i whiped emergency butt

I seriously want to beat you online with my new HW Side hammer, Dictionary.

Well in order to improve your skills you should probably download Starcore V.1, not V.3 at the time. Just look around the forums and people here should be able to give you some useful advice, also check out some other bots people have made to get ideas. Some common things people suggest are just using as much weight as you can within your class and making the chassis as small as possible, yes this means rebuilding the bot a few times but its better in the end.

if you changed the armour, then dont. It's more effective to use the armour that is set on your bot default. It has better defence and weight then the others could offer. I can't tell if that's plastic or just painted red

Somebody · « **Reply #19 on:** February 26, 2009, 05:35:56 PM »

I am sorry for my whacking. You should get Starcore V.1
