ok, good to know.

now i have been busy with the tips i had gotten. tetra vulcan in the end remained unedited as smaller wheels result in a loss of good control. it is more likely to suddenly start spinning while in want to drive forward or backward. as for the wedge, no good and enough space.

others have been edited. micro vulcan has easier to hit wheels but is can't get stuck on its end now and it is more stable.

N-disc 5, now 5.2, has the HP z-tek for the disc, has a wedge which has proven its use and some fresh wheels. overall result, more mayhem.

and last, power-struggle 2. piston powered spike wall, shiny wheels, shortened side strips, better front corner protection and slightly faster due to a little less weight.

I love Micro Vulcan even more. :P.

For Power Struggle, I think you can fit another air tank in.

Micro Vulcan will look really cool when its skinned.

powerrave · « **Reply #23 on:** February 09, 2010, 02:49:39 PM »

this makes clear which of my bots is favoured most. would love to put a skin on micro... but i don't have the skin exporter, nor do know how it was called.

You can do it ingame. Just press the export template button in the paint section. Then go to the custom textures folder out of the game and skin. Then import the file.

Hellz yeah its nice.

I ~~like this a lot.~~ love this even more.

i get the very strange idea that this skin is loved.

It's beautiful. You should enter it in ROBONOVA if it goes ahead.

That flipper looks pretty nice. You could get Regular Z-Tek drive on it for more speed if you want.

and on the spinner, wedges aren't any good unless they are on a snapper. Right now with them on an anchor, they arent going to get under anything.

seemingly, i missed a few thing, and will answer that now (since i have nothing better to do on school).

i had tried fitting in three air tanks but there is not enough space. to bad, it would have helped with not running out of air.

if it is a realistic lightweight tournament (it it's there), i will enter micro vulcan. just to see how it will perform. i do hope that there is an arena with hazards and the possibility to flip others out of the arena. that is also a reason that i lost in BBEANS3, still, i got to the second round so it wasn't a complete loss.

i guess you mean micro with 'that nice looking flipper'. i could try and do that, but i think i would go over the lightweight limit. i'll see.

so, better to remove wedge then? i won't be able to fin in a snapper there.

on other news, i am going to try and make some new bots. maybe try something other then a flipper for lightweight. and i will still make a new power-struggle. planning on 6 wheeled ramming power, but i will see to that later. might even get to something completely different.

Do you really need 2 DDTs on a LW flipper ?

And yes, faster drive would be better.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #34 on:** February 10, 2010, 08:07:55 AM »

Micro Vulcan is underweight.

powerrave · « **Reply #35 on:** February 10, 2010, 01:37:48 PM »

tried z-tek for drive in micro. i can't fit in a big black battery between the z-teks. and i don't want to reshape. don't want to do skinning again.

and yes i need 2 DDTs. that is what gives this bot such flipping power. it had only one in the first 2 versions. it wasn't strong enough.

I think you do need to rebuild dude, sorry.

Zoom in all the way through the chassis tab and put in the drive and batts like that. Yeah, delete the drive previously placed.

powerrave · « **Reply #38 on:** February 10, 2010, 04:29:52 PM »

took me some time to get this right and one big hooray for the option to lower DPI on my gaming mouse. micro vulcan 1.5 is here. i didn't want to lose the other one as is was so stable. and good thing i did so. with some careful adjusting of the chassis i was able to make it all fit in nicely and it still is a lightweight. but its old weakness has returned and is worse now... getting stuck on its end and now, i cant flip myself out of it. just for that, i will prefer the older micro vulcan.

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #39 on:** February 10, 2010, 04:34:40 PM »

If you can position the drive further backwards, it shouldnt get stuck on its rear.
