Use  round extenders, instead of 90o angle connecters.

Did you know your bot Spinner from the west is a meme at the moment? Anyway, This thing thing needs to use Maces 'n' Irons.

why else would I call my new one that, I know it is a very well known name so I'm riding on my already established fame.

I can't do that because in the editor the disks are spinning REALLY SLOOOOWLY so I can't select anything. When I can get it to work, I will.

NEVER MIND THAT

seriously...

Righty-ho, looks good for a first bot.

To stop the spinning, switch tabs, that stops it.

Try to resize the chassis to make it as small as possible, but so the components can fit in.

MW is up to 398.9 (I think), so I'm afraid you'll need to trim down a bit on the weight, but making the chassis smaller will give you that weight.

I'll leave you in the hands of more experienced members, who will most likely tell you how to improve the weapons system and drive.

And is the armour DSA?

1: It didn't. I continued spinning even AFTER I reloaded the bot. I had to reboot the game EVERY TIME
2: Dammit, it was hard enough to fit my stuff in here first
3: Thanks to a suggestion earlier in the thread, it's middleweight now.
4: Steel.

[Badger]

OK.

You know the stuff at the top, i.e Components, Wiring ect, those are tabs. Switch between them, don't close the program. And remov the wheels, that sometimes works for me, put them back on at the end.

When you rebuild the chassis, forget the armour tab. Look Here

[Scrap Daddy]

stop tabbing out of ra2 and it will stop the spinning.

pause button also works if you really need to get out of ra2 for a second without exiting

Wait, You're razer!? *Bows*

[J]

Why are both Z-Teks spinning the same way?
Make them spin outward in separate directions.

[wakkydude]

I'm still a noob, don't expect anything amazing out of ANYTHING I make. I AM listening to what everyone is saying though, and building on this.

I've been on this forum from this account for years (but haven't used it much)

[ty4er]

Try to get the cb ontop of the black.
And use shiny wheels for weight (get rid of the front 2 if necessary)

That's all we can ask for.

This may be a little advanced, but here's a video that may help you. Originally made by Sage (RA2 builder extrordinare), it shows an advanced building technique called Snapper Loading.

how does that even WORK

[Badger]

You put the first extender on, so the APs are on the bottom, then put another extender below, and put a razor on that. If using Irons/Maces, you'll need to eFFe them on, but you don't need to worry about that.
