Starcore v4 Reboot Stock Showcase

Not sure what you are doing for having 4 connections.

This is what I did for 4 connections:



I am not using the bottom connection because it scrapes the ground.

So I have:

   1 top forward-facing connection
   2 middle forward-facing connections (1 from the vertical extender and 1 from the extender attached to the rear lower connection of the top extender)
   1 lower forward-facing connection
   Not using the lowest pointing down connection because it scrapes the ground

There is 4 maces on the set up I post, 2 on the top extender and 2 on the bottom on, it looks like 3 since 2 of them are overlapping.

[Starcore]

Excuse me, not seeing your extender choices. Is why I posted my extender choices.

Is this what you are suggesting?



So Top Extender has 1 mace on its forward facing connection and 1 on its front downward facing connection.

Then on its rear downward facing connection, attach a vertical extender with its 2 forward facing connections used for maces.

At a slight reduction in reach that works well. I admit I was focused on having as many maces at the same amount of reach and was already nervous of loss of reach vs Irons and trying to maximize.

Will build up a version like that and compare it to the way I had done it with the slightly more forward reaching maces.

you can always go for 1 black + 1 nifty, it'll free up around 12 kg which is 2 more casters then.
or you can try mounting your maces like this

which would free up 18kgs on its own

Maybe my eyes are getting old. I couldn't see how you set up the extender(s) from that shot.

I figured out what you were suggesting.

Yeah, the nice thing about maces is they allow setups like that.

BIlly Goat Gruffiest WIP. Managed to get burst wedges and irons. I have enough weight for side plows, but not enough to mount them on baseplate anchors, and I can def shrink the chassis more, so I gotta rebuild again.

can you not use shinies?

If my math's right you'd weigh 800.1 Kgs.

Looking great! Thanks for taking serious the updating of the Billy Goat Gruff team. You have held to the face spinner style nicely. When ready send it over and I will get in the pack for the next community Alpha review.

slight rebuild of hostile assault. pretty much identical to the original, i removed the blades and the pink battery to free up weight for two blue snappers that are stacked in the same place as the original blue snappers. the new blue snappers only hold the wedges, while the old blue snappers hold the plows and ramplates. as a result the bot's wedginess is comparable to nwb.

[Mr. AS]

Bot looks really good as is, but do you think there's anything you can do with an extra 30 KG by ditching the third black? Seems a bit excessive given that 2 DDTs and 4 HPZ only use 1400 input, and 2 blacks give 1600 output.

[Virus Bomb]

i could probably add some more razors and casters... i honestly prefer 3 blacks with this as it seems more powerful to me.

Billy Goat Gruff prototype. I'm forgoing a wedge in favor of duel spinners, but it needs better extender work. It is not fully invert-able, and I have enough weight for redbirds if I can fit them in...

[090901]

make the chassis bigger so you can turn around the BA that holds the drive so the T is inside the chassis protect, then you can stack the BA that holds the RADS into it so it's invertible

[Meganerdbomb]

That helped


I tried this too, but the version with larger wheels actually drives better.


I'd liiike to try to get rebirds on the weapon motors instead, but that seems to be more tricky.

I mean FS are essentially rammers with flair, so your drive motors are basically weapon motors anyways
