You need to have the servos so that when you first put them on they face the way that you want the Zteks to be on.

That's what I did.

Well if you're not going to use them as a side hammer this time, then it would just be best to place them on blue snappers. It would also help if you replaced the razors with maces with the eFFe glitch.

That happens to me with servos.

Yeah like I said, I'm scrapping that chassis. It was too small for a four-wheel bot.

I'll make another bot tomorrow or maybe later tonight, I've got company as of now.

Actually, the chassis is bigger than it should be. It's best to keep the robot air-tight so there's more weight for other weapons.Think of it like the components are being placed first before the chassis. The chassis molds around the components.

Yeah I just haven't gotten down the sizes of components in the chassis builder. I'm gonna work on something that's kinda a U shape to help save weight allowance. Now that I can stack bigvolts, I'm much less limited in what I can do with space.

By the way, I think I'm gonna be sticking with stock for a while. I gave DSL a try, and lets just say the forum rules forbid me to say what I think about it.

you don't need to know the sizes, just make a chassis, put all the components the way you want them, and keep shrinking it until everything fits nicely.

Noodle · « **Reply #107 on:** July 01, 2010, 04:56:04 PM »

I haven't really added something in a while. I haven't been using stock alot lately, I've been mostly trying to get better at DSL and making components. I wasn't too successful in either, so I'm gonna go back to stock building for a while.

Here's a bot I made a while ago but never added. I tried the double-ztek thing for my spinners. It's pretty good, but I have to have those things sticking out the sides to help it stop from tipping over (caused by the gyroscopic effect I assume).

It's also got a stacked black battery, so it has three bigvolts.

As usual, suggestions and feedback are appreciated.

Use shinneys, shrink the chassis.

Noodle · « **Reply #109 on:** July 01, 2010, 05:17:52 PM »

I tried the thing with the shiny hubs. Because of how I had the balancing system setup, I needed to replace it. I'd have to say I like the way I set it up now.

I'm gonna see what I can do to optimize the chassis.

It only needs 2 Supervolts really, and you might want to think about putting wedges on it too.

I don't quite get what you mean about putting wedges on it. It does have wedges on it.

The Ounce · « **Reply #112 on:** July 01, 2010, 06:55:24 PM »

They seem more like stabilizers to me; static wedges are no good anyway.

Mount them on burst motors, and you may also give them a wide stance to help with stability.

Yeah I know they're awful wedges. They're there for two other reasons. First as stabilizers and secondly as something to help prevent robots get to the exposed sides.

Also, I made the chassis a little smaller. Now it's only got two bigvolts.

I added two extenders going backwards because if I don't have anything there it tips over backwards now due to the smaller chassis. I capitalized on their positions and put a couple ram plates up to protect the extenders a bit.

It also has double aluminum now I think.

I renamed him Road Block Box because this robot's sorta beginning to resemble a road block.

Build to the weight limit.

May not be 799.99 kg, but its awful close.

I like ramplates.

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #116 on:** July 01, 2010, 08:13:03 PM »

those razors will fall off pretty quick in the HW division. try irons.

Ok then, done. I'm not about to make a screenshot for something this small.

Somebody · « **Reply #118 on:** July 01, 2010, 08:29:53 PM »

You don't have too, you need bigger changes.

Put on burst wedges, its worthless without them.
Less ramplates, maybe a plow to protect the front instead.
Not just irons, but more weapons in general.

Noodle · « **Reply #119 on:** July 01, 2010, 09:02:10 PM »

How's this?
