Hmmm... though Sparkey's advice is a bit off, he did give me an idea. Well, you already have a blade protecting the wedge extender, but attach it to the extender using the attachment point closer to the small wedge. For the other attachment point, attach a weapon of some sort (maybe a mace) to protect the DDT.

It's reasons like this that make me want to cry. Anybody can build an uber stacked spinner, and entering it into a tourney? That's no fun at all. At least attempt to be creative.

I like the Biohazard flipper.  How powerful is it compared to a conventional flipper?


I would suggest either trimming it down to a LW (shrink the chassis) or bring it up to a full MW.  If you make it a MW, it should have beefier drive (Z-teks are good) and two flippers (if 4 DDT's are too heavy, you can replace the first one in the chain with a Snapper 2 as it's not as essential).

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

That has been hard for me to do lately
I mean the iPokeUrAss series had some creativity from me but now its kinda gone
Thats one of the reasons I wouldnt enter an event yet
And sorry if I havent made bots lately but I'm like more focusing on another game in which i recently hit lvl 113 (Master 1) and wow it's got me busy on leveling up. I might take a rest from it once I hit Master 2.

I like the Biohazard flipper.  How powerful is it compared to a conventional flipper?
It doesnt flip bots as high as some powerful conventional one would, but it throws them forwards, so I think its as powerful as any

I might turn it into a MW. Z-teks didnt fit in the bot so I think I should remake the chassis, and btw do you mean the green snapper?

if you can't be creative, do what I do.
 
 
think of a design that SUCKS, like a stock saw bot or something like Heavy Metal Noise (need a pic?) and try to make it good, or try to improve it. Or, just make up an entirely NEW design (get RFS AI for inspiration) and try to improve it. I'm gonna enter a bot into a tourny named docter tumbles (there is three designs and a DSL design) and it is entirely that.
 
hope that helps

Guys, maybe you should let him feel good about winning a tourney fight, rather than shoot him down.

It's been 8 days since I last posted in here, I thought it had been 2 weeks.. :rolleyes:

He does mean the green Snapper.
Ok ;)

Eh, I came out a little aggressive >_> sorry
It's ok, I think.. But I never said I was going to enter it in a tourney. You were like I had said so

Guys, maybe you should let him feel good about winning a tourney fight, rather than shoot him down.
I think so..

Lol you giving advice to a member newer than you yet he is still better?!?!?!
I think I've read many talks like :argue_smilys: between you and sparkey.. Why?
Let him free.. xD

Now, around a week ago the Stock RA2 stopped working for me.
Everytime I try to play, it crashes at startup.
I don't know what's wrong, because DSL works pretty fine..
And this time it's not my sister's fault xD

Ok so I got RA2 working again :mrgreen: I was rebuilding "Worse Than a Tsunami" a while ago because it was pretty hard to maneuver and the wheels were way too exposed, so if I ever lost control of the bot (which happens very often) the wheels may be gone.

W.T.A.T. II had hpz's coming out from the chassis attached to those blue snappers putting the wheels reaching as far as the maces, making them very vulnerable. But in the 3rd version I put the snapper's 3rd attach point facing inwards, and some 20 cm. extenders attached to them.
After loading the snappers I attach a hpz to each extender and then wheels to them.
The wheels are "inside" the blue snappers so while the maces protect the chassis, it protects the wheels without (in theory) losing grip.

I'll post screenshots of it when it's done.

PS.: The game didn't want to open because I had extracted something wrong to the Arenas folder making a nice nasty glitch IDK how, but I had to replace the whole Arenas folder with a clean one then install custom arenas again to get rid of the fail xD

EDIT: It's done and does better than it's predecessor since it's drive now isn't primary target :mrgreen:

Fill up the weight with a caster somewhere.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

It kills the maneuverability, even if i put it on a side of the baseplate

Boredom gave me this idea:
All I needed before the screenshots was a black tribar...
