Servo Motor -> Mount the entire robot off of it ->] ???? -> Profit
-> Not Possible

Fix'd.
Wait, what?
You take the 3x3 chassis, put a black battery(or any battery, really) and a control board on top of it, and then mount wheels and what-not off of servos.
Its possible, yo.

And that is how you do it. You learn quick, J.  :approve:

However, I think it would be better to mount on a baseplate anchor. It saves weight.

That was just a suggestion, though.

I found that 1 servo worked better then 2:

Now heres whats interesting. This build is a walking havok explosion.
You hold W(I set that for forward) and the robot just flies all over the place. Its hilarious.

It's actually more weight-efficient to build it off of a Snapper II. ;)

I would get Starcore 1, I think your heavyweight is ready for it.

And for the LW, I would take out a battery and make it a horizontal spinner (HS)

Already did. I already posted about it's Clashes with Tempest Eliminator...and my abysmal Driving XP...

and that's a good Idea about a spinner. I tried two Vertical Spinners, but even the smallest Diameter was too big. might see If I can change that in a while.

With a VS robot its not matter of how far out the weapon sticks, its actually more along the lines of how big your tires are, and how you place the weapon.

Big wheels won't really change the effectiveness. Alien Queen only has Shinies. Balance has a lot more to do with it.

*Forgot to mention that, as the frontal weapon of a VS usually weighs a lot*
Though balance doesn't really matter, (in some cases), as you can use stuff like snowplows and what-not.

The reason your bot havoks, J, might be because it's a Nasty Pickle.

Stock battle axes are mostly fail as weapons.

But if you chain your bot to servos, you are just going to get massive havoks...

Yes, we all know how much of a disaster that box-bot of mine is. It was mostly an example of what you can do with a 3x3 chassis.

On-Topic:
Lol cheers...well, I managed SOMETHING. probably not perfect, but here it is.

(Image removed from quote.)
LShock, can you tell us what the weight of this robot is? Also, I suggest you put the DDT on its side, so the weapon flips out light a switchblade.

Wrong. The chassis weight saved isn't really enough to cover the 8 kgs that a SnapperII saves you.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

Sage, you said "wrong" then proceeded to agree with him.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

That long skinny chassis is quite suited to an SnS.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

It weigh's 241.3Kg, which is why I'm hesitant to change it TOO much, cause I'm trying to make a Lightweight robot, and another 8 and a bit Kg and it'll become a very light-middleweight.

Make it smaller if you want it a lightweight, because there's not a lot you can do with that in the LW class.

Meh, I Gave up on the whole 'Work whichever way it's on' Idea. I instead decided to use the same tactic that made New Blood so Deadly, the whole 'Spikes on the front which crush and destroy' Tactic.



I had to use Razors instead of Irons since they were Lighter.

Instead of doing more than 1 baseplate connector, do it like this

Baseplate Connector > T Connector > Load Of Rotated to face your opponent Circle Extenders > Weapons > ????? > Profit.

Also, a Nifty would work fine in there, you Don't need the Supervolt.
