I'm getting tired of saying this to eveyone...
Lower chassis i dunno why,so ill guess ill have to take that.
add more FS'S illdefinatly take that advice
make chassis smaller hmm,might take a bit of tweaking but ok
don't use snow plows, use emergency's wedge for wedginess well i need them after the fs are broken off for the spike to be affective
the spike's doing nothing Wrong.when the fs's are off i use it to deal damage.
UNDERWEIGHT couldent figure out what to do to fill the weight. ill chop that chassis.
Don't place the extenders so far back yes,i wasnt ever told this before so thats definetly a point i should take.

And for the love of christ, PLEASE have a good paintjob, or don't show the paintjob at all.ill try and do my own paint job.

If I were you, I would follow every bit of advice he gave you (except for the EMERGENCY wedges, use small wedges instead).

Use Snapper II's rather than DDT's to mount the weapons.

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #243 on:** August 23, 2010, 03:23:14 PM »

Lots of weight wasted those DDTs, do what GK said. Also the wedge isn't doing that much, seems like bots are more likely to make contact with the weapons first than the wedges.

Tis' still a huge improvement.

Could it be converted into a 'true' popup?

madman3 · « **Reply #247 on:** February 25, 2011, 09:02:48 AM »

You could make that a true popup and give it some frontal protection, but the chassis is decent. You could make it a rupting flipper.

Avalanche · « **Reply #248 on:** February 25, 2011, 09:08:41 AM »

@KM Hmm,new project.
@madman terrible at rupting, not quite enough space.And yes, km's responce says it all.
@Pwn Thanks pwn.

We're not asking you to change the 'chassi'. We're asking you to change the chassis.

Scorpion · « **Reply #254 on:** April 13, 2011, 11:53:55 AM »

Sigh, keep the same chassis shape if you want, but make it smaller, that way you save weight, which is obviously very usefull.
Not changing the chassis is gonna mean you have a lot of what's essentially dead weight there, and stop your bot from being the best it could be.

Avalanche · « **Reply #255 on:** April 13, 2011, 12:19:52 PM »

JUST GIVE ME A IDEA FOR USING THE WEIGHT.

Don't yell at me, boy. Don't use the weight, try to remove some weight. You're so close to MW it'll be a waste to add anything on top.

Avalanche · « **Reply #257 on:** April 13, 2011, 12:27:17 PM »

In THAT case,give me a idea for REMOVING weight!

FOTEPX · « **Reply #258 on:** April 13, 2011, 12:29:30 PM »

Okay then. First of all, I know you don't want to, but just try to make the chassis smaller. If you still don't want to do that, then place the extenders in a L shape, attaching the razors to the left side of the L. You'll have to lose 2 razors, but that's life.

Scorpion · « **Reply #259 on:** April 13, 2011, 12:31:03 PM »

Caps lock will get you nowhere, follow fotepx's advice and then post an updated picture.
