I just found out about the SHW ballast.  I'll try it out so I have the extra weight allowance to build more stuff.

ya just letting you know that there is an unofficial SHW class, and SHW dont fight HW unless you are too lame or you are just having fun.


basically fighting your SHW against a HW isnt something to brag about, on the other hand winning to a SHW with your HW gives you bragging rights.

All you really need to know is that a HP-Ztek is about 2x3 units on the grid. A black is like 2.75x1.85 (ROUGH estimate). From there you can build the rough chassis and then micro manage when you get the setup figured out.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

HP Z-Teks is around 2 and a quarter units upwards, and almost exactly two units axle-ways, I've found. But yeah, it is pretty much just trial and error with the chassis to begin with, more often than not newbies seem to go with what looks cool rather than what's effective (I'm guilty of that too), but you've definitely got some promise. I think the main thing about your chassis is to have as few sharp angles as you can get away with, while still being efficient with the space, I think it's to do with area rather than volume.

Welcome to the forums, just take Somebody's advice and you'll be a great builder in no time.

By the way, Sparkles is a nickname for Sparkey98, and if you see him posting in ALL CAPS then just ignore it, he's probably freaking out about one thing or another. It's best just to ignore him at that point.

I'm thinking that as well, we really don't need a newcomer's showcase being messed up by a flame war.

I made my first rupt flipper!




I don't think I designed it properly, though, because the flipper is alot better at flipping my own robot rather than my opponent.

Even though it still says that on clicks site :P

You should make the front wedge shallower as well.

It works alot better with the shallow wedge.  I couldn't manage to fit Zteks and enough power to make the flippers rupt at the same time, so I'm prolly gonna have to redraw the chassis.

By the way, the thing on the front is a bear fish.  I'm not sure why I put it there either.
