Love the skin on the robot in the OP.

Yeah he seems to be a very good listener, which is great for a new bot builder.

Correction, being a good listener is good for ANY new member to ANY gaming forum.

If you stacked the black batteries, you could fit the third DDT in there by moving the other two backwards and out.

Actually, I think he has enough room to move the DDTs outward as it is. Though if he did out a Snapper or 2 in the space between the DDTs, he could fit some razors on it, and it would be pretty good.

I made another bot, thank you guys for the great tips! here's one of my new favorites --techno terror!:

You know.... you only really need 1-2 Blacks for a HW and its good to go.
Also, Hammerheads are terrible.

Hi J, those batteries don't even really do much, i threw in the nifty and the small battery pack to fill up the weight and the space --do you think it's a bad way to do it?

Only use 1 of the weapon systems.

If you make the chassis a lot smaller(Its so tall, yo), and maybe re-arranged the insides a bit and use maybe 1 to 2 Snappers in order to have things hovering over eachother, you could save a lot of weight and maybe fit more weapons and stuff on.
...Also, Fatboys tend to be a little exposed and eat up a lot of weight.

Not really true. I think what Mr. Freez means is you should focus on just one weapon system for your bots while you are learning. Once you are proficient with that you can start building multi-weapon system bots. There are plenty of decent bots that use multiple weapon systems, but you should learn more before doing that.

You are learning though! It will take time and lots of critical feedback, but you will do just fine.

These are definitely very promising designs ! You truly do have a lot of potential.

Watching this showcase, it might become one of the best in a few weeks.

I have been working on my bots and improving, and i've learned about all kinds of stuff like stacking, eFFe glitching,
BFE, and making compact chassis. I got StarcoreV3 and my bot could own The Ultimate Spammer, in like no time. (couldn't get pictures though, because my mods still aren't working) Here he is, The Dreaded Shredder!

He has 2 stacked blue snappers on each side and each one has a DDT.
Great armor in front with 1 ramplate and 2 razors.
2 snapper 2s with razors attacking upward.
3 Supervolts.
790.6 KG's

Yeah no paint job but i will paint him soon.
here are some battleshots.

I did get some pictures of him going against Emergency with my sister's computer, though.
i'll post some pics of him going against some Starcore bots, when it's working again.

Yeah i made it so big because i thought it looked cool bigger. but that was back then when i was going for cool, but now i know that you try to make good bot that looks cool too. that bot did have a lot of wasted weight that could have been done way better. lol.....those are N-12s but i use shinnies and grannies as much as i can.

Yeah mabey the pistons were a little unnecessary but I'm gonna make a update of that bot and put like 3 HPZ-teks
spinners.

Tell me if you like him! and some feedback on how i can make him better!

That robot looks pretty good.
I'm no expert but you're probably way better than me.
My robots aren't good but you're robots have potential.

Avalanche · « **Reply #32 on:** May 31, 2011, 03:53:51 PM »

Warning.Dont use BFE if its a SERIOUS bot,for a tournament as well as,well,anything really,its gonna be DQ from tornaments,and frowned on.

He doesn't use BFE, and i wouldn't enter my bots that do.

He has a total of 12 razors, i don't see much space i can fill up, but i could probably fit a pink batt in there.

I've built a Heavyweight pop-up with 60 razors. 10=/=60

60 razors is complete overkill. Seism 13 only has 10 razors, R4 had 20. I think 20's the maximum you can get away with while still being reasonably effective.
