I'm planning to, twill show me how bad it really is :P

And i think I will redo the whole thing with more weaponry sometime, doesn't kill things quite quick enough for my liking.

Probably a good idea. Reier has a LW that outweapons you.

Expand the chassis slightly to fit the HPZ's in the chassis, use shiny hub wheels, get rid of the wheel guards, and there should be some weight available.

I am a peaceful person by nature, hence the lack of weapons *cough*

I'll do it tommorrow after school, i need a break from RA2 today XD

Sorry about the double post, but here is the reworked version of mouldy cheese :)

The fights with rabid pit bull are quite funny....drive straight into it, weapons spinning, i kill all of its razors just before it kills me, so i can kill it. Really lucky, I think :P

It also seems to have HSphobia, NWBphobia and is evenly matched against VS's. With me driving it, anyways.

Be as criticizing as you like :D

Weight?
Needs armour.
Plow does nothing
Use SnapperII(not 2)'s to mount weapons.
Try and fit DDT wedges on.

Darn, knew i forgot something. Its 790.something, which bugs me.

I left the plow there form the earlier concept and forgot to take it off. Replace it with some armour, methinks.

How do you get the snapper II's?

And DDT's wont fit. :)

Thanks for the advice :)

(Which I recommend btw in exchange for him giving me a better way to say happy birthday)
EDIT: Wrong time for that

Remove the plow from the back, and you've got enough weight to stick a ramplate on the front for defense against those pesky HS's. =)

Buuump

Since I am planning on entering the best bot builder, might as well showcase my stock failbot to see how it can be improved, as my DSL bot works well.

DSA, called Meh.
Probable Problems (:P) are that the Z-tek cant spin 96 kg per tribar fast enough, the DDT's for the wedges are too far back (cos thy wedges sucketh) and..pinks due to not being able to fit a black anywhere. The main solution I have is to make it 2WD to make room for a black or 2, take off 6 maces and pinks, and add another tribar, or improve the front armour. Course, if any of this will make the bot fail more, tell me :P

Does OK in Starcore 3. But only OK.

Pinks =

martymidget · « **Reply #30 on:** July 07, 2010, 11:20:31 AM »

They were the only batteries which fitted with my current setup. They are the main thing I want to deal with. And yes, they are fail :P

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #31 on:** July 07, 2010, 11:23:07 AM »

Remake the chassis?

martymidget · « **Reply #32 on:** July 07, 2010, 11:28:37 AM »

Done it about 6 times today to get different aspects of the bot to work. And I really can't be bothered to do it again, ~~as I am feeling very impatient today~~ as the effeing takes too long for my taste . XD

Just remake the chassis. I would also suggest not using maces on that as it will make it wobble more which is not a good thing on a gut-ripper.

Ramplates would also be better for protection than lawnmower blades.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #34 on:** July 07, 2010, 06:03:13 PM »

Maybe remake the chassis so you can fit the motors on a snapper? That might fix the motors going slow.

NFX · « **Reply #35 on:** July 08, 2010, 01:57:59 PM »

Fail T Connector is Fail.

I suggest moving the forwardmost pair of HP Z-Teks to the edge of the bot, and having the shinies be on the outside, like with the other two. Then you've easily got enough space in there to stack some blacks.

Also, maybe try and work an extender setup so you only need one DDT. Since they're only there for getting under bots and not actually flipping them, am I right?

martymidget · « **Reply #36 on:** July 14, 2010, 02:52:44 PM »

EDIT:Ignore that, I appear to have just done it, through random luck, lol.

martymidget · « **Reply #37 on:** July 14, 2010, 04:05:58 PM »

Well, I have done something with that bot. To be improved on later with what advice I get. But this is what i have atm. DSA.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #38 on:** July 14, 2010, 11:53:38 PM »

to start off simply I would remove the mower blade and razor and use a one of the long Barbour Blade's to protect your wedge

martymidget · « **Reply #39 on:** July 23, 2010, 10:45:54 AM »

I got bored. Really bored. So I fired up stock and tried to make a better version of that thing in the style I intended it to be like.

Wedges seem to be good as NWB cant outwedge it. Needs a little tweaking and could then get under NWB (possibly). Also needs a name and stuff. I'm concerned, however, that 2 blacks isn't enough power for the bot (because I have no idea how batteries in stock work:P) The tribars counter rotate, the left (facing you) going anti-clock and the right going clock :P
