You could probably fit 2 more razors on there somehow. You have the weight.
Also, I see T-connectors on there. :o

How would I fit more razors on there? Also the T-connectorwas needed as it needed to be that far away from the DDT and if I had used 2 extenders then the rule of 7 would have killed it

You put a razor of the end of the extender, or you could upgrade some of the weapons on the juggler part, either way is fine Also the T-connector was needed as it needed to be that far away from the DDT and if I had used 2 extenders then the rule of 7 would have killed it I see.

Also, you might want to try stacking those black batteries.

With that space I might be able to put like a motor and 1 juggler instead of 2 on axle mounts how does that sound?

Sounds good. A moving weapon tends to cause more damage than a unpowered weapon. Which is why pokers can do more damage than regular rammers.

I would try and get motorised weapons on that design, even RAD's should be alrigh for that. It doesn't actually look too bad, you've definitely improved. I would also try to get the ramplates covering the edges of the front wedge slightly to protect against Horizontal Spinners.

Whenever I try to stack blacks, this happens:

I can stack ants in DSL but not blacks in stock?

Yeah. Smaller objects tend to stack better. Which is why ants/baseplate anchors are easy to stack.
You need to have a crap-load of patience to stack 2 blacks, and even more in you want to stack air tanks. or you could just AAM the black batts like i did.

A top-down view is recommended (by me

) for trying to stack Blackvolts in Stock. Also maximum zoom (In the Overview tab, then switch to Components to stay zoomed). Blackvolts are very tough to actually stack if you've not managed it before, but it is just a huge amount of trial and error, unfortunately. Normally it's exactly in line on one axis, and slightly out of line on the other.

Nate Tech · « **Reply #69 on:** October 29, 2011, 09:38:16 AM »

Would you kill me if I AAM'd it on? /lol

NFX · « **Reply #70 on:** October 29, 2011, 09:44:46 AM »

I imagine someone would. It is doable on its own, it just takes a steady hand and a <expletive>load of patience.

Nate Tech · « **Reply #71 on:** October 29, 2011, 09:49:23 AM »

I'll try it some more

Do I see square extenders?

Nate Tech · « **Reply #73 on:** October 29, 2011, 10:35:45 AM »

Yes, for 2 reasons:
1) The round ones always were a little off
2) BUILD TO THE WEIGHT LIMIT
Also here is the new Undertaker. I FINALLY got to stack the blacks. It took forever.

And what can I do to build to the weight limit I've got like 50 kgs to play with

1) Don't understand you
2) Yeah, but not by just adding heavier components that are of no benefit.

NFX · « **Reply #75 on:** October 29, 2011, 10:39:04 AM »

I believe you do. Square extenders are a chronic waste of weight. They do the same job, but the Squares weigh two and a half times more than the Rounds. You just need a good eye, because they're actually hexagonal, rather than round. They also move in "clicks", rather than smoothly. Each "click" is a 10 degree increment, so nine of them would be right angles.

ty4er · « **Reply #76 on:** October 29, 2011, 10:40:24 AM »

get rid of the square extenders for round ones even if they are off and add another spinner on top and a snowplow at the back to stop bots going over and it will be pretty good i think.

Nate Tech · « **Reply #77 on:** October 29, 2011, 10:44:04 AM »

Whenever I try to use the round ones the AP is not lined up with the T connector no matter what I do like rotaing it 9 times makes it still be off by a small bit. HEY wait maybe I can switch the GMF's and use the round extenders with the square extender GMF and switch them back when I'm done how does that sound?
ty4er: There's no more room for a 2nd spinner or another baseplate anchor for the snowplow. But I'm sure someone will prove me wrong...

ty4er · « **Reply #78 on:** October 29, 2011, 10:45:16 AM »

move the spinner to the corners :P

Or put them on snappers/servos

Nate Tech · « **Reply #79 on:** October 29, 2011, 10:46:56 AM »

I could do that, but it would require me having to stack the blacks again
