Bar HS looks awesum :D

As for the drill, that's pretty much the best you can get. The original LP had 2 pinks and DSA.

Both designs which have been done countless times...don't exactly know what you are "showcasing" here, or even what advice or feedback you are looking for.

Thanks for trolling three showcases in a row

I will never understand the internet.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #223 on:** July 27, 2010, 05:05:46 PM »

Don't really know how I trolled? I was not mean or ill-willed in anyway...

The "I don't know what you're "showcasing" here" part. He made this showcase to get better, not for bragging rights.

Jeese, sorry. I didn't even try to flame. All I was calmley stating is that he was building generic to learn. No need to swear.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #226 on:** July 27, 2010, 05:18:01 PM »

Glad you're old enough to spell *calmly* too, or even use a spell check for that matter!

End of discussion!

You never stated that.

GOD DAMMIT HOW I MISSED YOU

...back on track, anyone?

I quite like the look of the angled spinner bot, personally. But try and use something other than Spike Strips, they're really not that good, seeing as they don't have normals. What you could do, is try attaching a 20cm extender onto the face attachment point, and then a razor or iron onto that.

I never thought of that. I'm definitely trying that next.

I'm looking for feedback that can actually help me make better robots. If you wish to provide some, please share. If you don't, please stay out of my showcase and you won't be bothered by my generic designs.

Noodle · « **Reply #231 on:** July 28, 2010, 12:42:07 AM »

Here's that angled spinner with the razors done the way NFX said I ought to. I renamed it to Yoshi Blade 'cus it kept reminding me of this stupid thing.

Mostly the same stuff, just different spinners. It gets under bots easy and does a OK amount of damage. I'm having problems keeping robots on the wedge, so I think I might add another scoop of seemingly unnecessary protrusion.

Either way, this is going to be the last version of this robot with this chassis. I'm going to try to build a new chassis that caters to the needs of the weapon better.

Looks nice, I don't think it's Generic.

Oh, and nice acount manupulation.

nice AW and BW, nothing really wrong with them but Inf is right that they have been seen many times before, people want to see some new stuff is all :) it is possible to make AW face spinners, vertical spinners, horizontal spinners, pop-ups and even hammers if you try hard enough.

Yeah I just sorta wish he had a nicer way of saying it.

Like I said, I kinda made the ant and beetle just to say that I've made an ant and a beetle. I really don't like making them, mostly because I hate having to compromise by reducing armor and battery power (which I really hate doing). Thus, my ant had a whole nifty crammed in it even though it probably wasn't entirely necessary.

I might go back and try to make smaller robots sometime but I'd prefer to avoid them for the time being.

You know this thing?

(Image removed from quote.)

You could make it better my having a longer wedges, making those discs shallower and adding two more discs abot them at a 75 degree angle. That would "trap" the bots and it would deal a lot more damage. I made a middleweight one and so did psycolone. (psycolone's is obviously better though. :P)

Noodle · « **Reply #236 on:** August 03, 2010, 01:27:13 PM »

I'm f***ing pissed right now. I'm trying to make a new chassis for that robot I was last working on, and I'm trying to get the Zteks stacked like everyone else does, but I can never seem to get it right. I've found no tutorials on how to do this, and I can't seem to figure out how to do it myself.

This is all I could come up with. The motors are in crap positions, the shiny wheels don't touch the ground and the mount on the backs of the snappers keeps resetting itself. Quite frankly, I just want to give up 'cus this is just plain frustrating.

Sage · « **Reply #237 on:** August 03, 2010, 01:31:17 PM »

The mounts on the back of the snapper will always return to the rotation you placed it originally. It doesn't work like the front axle. Same thing happens with servos.

To get the HPZs flush with the ground you have to use the back AP and rotate them 90 degrees.

Hope that helps a little.

Somebody · « **Reply #238 on:** August 03, 2010, 01:31:42 PM »

Snapper backs are like servos. They always do that. Put the extender where you want it, THEN move it to attach something.

Are you sure you didn't mean the front AP? You latest robot (which has stacked zteks) has a black battery blocking the back AP.

Also, I tried doing it like this. I think I'm getting closer but this still doesn't look quite right. The motors are sticking out an awful lot.
