How is he changing the title? I've never been able to do that.

When you start the thread you can edit any other person's posts? oh wow

You should position the battery between the RADs instead of on top of them. Then you can make the chassis lower, and move the BA's back as close to the RADs as you can.

I don't think I'll make any more revisions today, I'm getting a bit tired of editing the same bot. keep the suggestions coming though.

Can be smaller, chassis don't have to be boxes, you know.

And the extender work is wrong, cba to explain how, someone else do it please?

Use 90 Degree Baseplate Anchors, mounted RIGHT at the edge of the chassis. Use the Ctrl button to raise them off the ground, and have them pointing out of the chassis edge. You should then be able to attach the HPZ's directly to them if you get the position right.

Snappers and servos are your friend

AS I've said before, I'm still a noob. Why do people like you demand every bot even newbies make must be amazing? It's rather sad, actually. There's only one way for me to get better - and that's by getting constructive criticism and using it to help improve my bot creation. This has been happening for 9 pages, with helpful people pointing out my flaws and helping me fix them. Stop it. Not everyone has been in the amount of tournaments you have.

Raise the wheels and make it invertible.

Everyone starts out, you're being WAY too harsh. You're not helping newbies at all by insulting and giving up on them. Wacky is listening and getting better, can't you see that? Honestly, either help or leave the newbies alone.

These are two abandoned bot ideas, the first one was a lightweight flipper - the firestorm kind (flips from the inside), that used razor tips instead of a wedge. Scrapped because it's only JUST above stock level. Carousel of doom is the 2nd one, and it's problem is that once you start it spinning, all control of the bot is lost. It is quite deadly though. If any of you think they are worthy of being proper bots and not just scrapped concepts, just tell me.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #135 on:** August 03, 2011, 06:47:20 PM »

the second one needs more drive and it'll be good.

The first one will do better with a wedge on a burst motor.

Badger · « **Reply #136 on:** August 03, 2011, 06:48:58 PM »

The first one is called a popup, see R4 in the wiki.

Hmm, seemed like that to me. It just seemed like something that couldn't take down anything form any advanced AI packs, say starcore. Now I think about it, it's not THAT awful. When fighting EMERGENCY he gets tossed around like CRAZY, the only reason I removed his flippers was pretty much luck, as I didn't attack them, I attacked the sides and back (when I could GET to them)

I was tempted to call it that, but didn't think it was good enough for the name. :D
