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.
Use round extenders, instead of 90o angle connecters.

Righty-ho, looks good for a first bot.1: It didn't. I continued spinning even AFTER I reloaded the bot. I had to reboot the game EVERY TIME
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?

Wait, You're razer!? *Bows*
That's all we can ask for.
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.
Try to arrange the razors like this:how does that even WORK

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.I don't get that at all.
Use the end attachment point of a round extender to attach it to the tribar, then use the side connection point of another round extender and attach it to the side attachment point of the first one.Try to arrange the razors like this:how does that even WORK

No.
Maces > Razors in that situation.Yeah
Wait, this guy is razer?
Hahaha I forgot you had this tooMan, this WAS my razer account!
ONLY USE DSA!!!!!!!!!
The only ways I know of minimising it are to
1: Make it smaller which results in redoing the whole bot.
2: Filling in the gaps which adds MORE weight (NO anti-ballasts)
Also, DSA is apparently the same weight as aluminium. He's still heavyweight when he's PLASTIC.

Post a picture. Lot easier to tell you what to do that way. ;)
You'll have to rebuild the chassis, or use this guide to BFE DSA on (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,2830.msg83019.html#msg83019)ONLY USE DSA!!!!!!!!!
Can I switch back to it? I made an armour selection as my FIRST step. :(
Remove the frontal wheels, Put the motors on Baseplate Anchors instead, and get some Z-teks for drive (HP or normal depends on the weight you have left.HSes do NOT need speed.

Redbirds or RADs are fine for MWs.
Which is what he's doing. ;)

Yes, I know, but he needs more razors than what he's got ATM.
Or he could use Irons.
Popups do need a large chassis generally....
I'll give you an example of what you can come up with if you take the time to shrink the chassis around the components, and learn glitches such as eFFeing and Snapper Loading.This.
In my (limited) experience, 1 black is enough, but 2 can also work.At most:
A Black and a Nifty should the trickNo.
A Black and a Nifty should the trickNo.
1 black.
Finish the MW, HWs are much more difficult.
A Black and a Nifty should the trickNo.
1 black.
1 black could help you survive about 2 1/2 minutes with 4 HPZ's. A nifty could boost this to about 4.
Nifty's are the best give back weight wise.
Pinks = 100
Nifty = 400
Black = 800
I think so.

Fixed.
HW HS normally require 2 Blacks. And you should really learn Snapper Loading if you want to build HS effectively, it's one of the most important glitches you can use to make as much weight as possible for weaponry.
Just a question but when I snapper load with Snapper II's, my motors get very flimsy and wobble. Is there a suitable way to fix this.Not really, that's just as a result of their low torque. If you mount them on a Snapper2 or a Servo, then there's much less vibration involved. But what you can do is try to have the axis of rotation of the SnapperII and the axis of rotation of the weapon motors perpendicular to each other.
HWs are much more difficult.Hell no. Heavyweights are cake-walk to make, as they let you use all 800kg.
Remove the front wheels entirely. The robot will slide along on its front end, and it will be easier to turn.That just didn't work when I tried it. At all. It went even SLOWER than it is now, and was painful to drive.
TC, Its usually better to post pics, rather then saying what you did.I'm working on the pics...

You really have to shrink the chassis.
Wakky, i can only ai this if the burst motors remain stationary.

It can still be smaller.It can be a heck of a lot smaller.
It can't move, those wheels are on axle mounts. Put them on RADs, and put them so the wheels are in the middle of the bot.1: That's actually a hidden reversible motor.
Put the HPzs on baseplate anchors
make the chassis EVEN smaller (Height wise as well)
USE SHINIES!
Please do all this. It will help lots.
...this is a hopeless effort.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.
...this is a hopeless effort.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.
Scrapped because it's only JUST above stock level.Wait, what?
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)Scrapped because it's only JUST above stock level.Wait, what?
The first one is called a popup, see R4 in the wiki.I was tempted to call it that, but didn't think it was good enough for the name. :D
If you listened to any good advice worth something to you then maybe I would stop. But it seems that you cant stop me...soo...

Just leave me alone. You don't have to poke your ugly head into here and be a bully to those who are trying. Some people AREN'T veterans. Some people AREN'T "amazeeing people". I don't care what you think, you useless bigot. Nobody cares about what you have to say. It's INCREDIBLY easy to click the "back" button and just stay away. Why don't you do that, instead of flaming those who are trying to do their best.
There is no better teacher than I, you tool bags.
Wakkydude, I'll leave your showcase forever. Screw you and your "awesome" bot building abilities.
THANK YOU URJAK!!!I doubt it
I think he may have scared wakky off, unfortunately. Hope fully I am proven wrong and he posts a bot soon.

I respect you Inf, but for god's sake get over yourself. You may be a great stock builder, but that doesn't give you the right to treat people so badly.
I think inf's pretty funny. And, maybe it's a strange way motivate n00bs. Have you seen Full Metal Jacket ? That kinda motivation.
Would benefit from a snapper wedge, and different razor arrangement, either using y connectors or norm. extenders.
Oooh I have an idea now. Anyways were you like 5 years old when you built SFTW.
Are you British or Australian?I am British. I don't know how people confuse those accents really.
You voice is funny. XDI do LPs, and I assume after 10 parts (where I am right now in my current series) it probably gets kinda annoying.
Let me guess your from around the coast.
I say old chap, could you pour me a spot of tea?
HP-Zteks are not bad drive motors, some HW rammers have 6 HP-Ztek drive and most MWs and pretty much all HWs have HP-Ztek drive
AI the bots then :PHP-Zteks are not bad drive motors, some HW rammers have 6 HP-Ztek drive and most MWs and pretty much all HWs have HP-Ztek drive
They're great until you try to steer. Then you overcompensate, try to turn back to where you were, overcompensate and it JUST KEEPS HAPPENING

I play RA2 to fight bots, not just make them. When I play the "Team HQ" mode, I often use the built-in bots because I just want to PLAY, not faff around with the (VERY FIDDLY) bot lab.
Let me guess your from around the coast.
South east, yes.
Where abouts?Let me guess your from around the coast.
South east, yes.
Try to use hp z-teks instead of normal ones
Nice.
Why not between those times? Holiday?
It's not too bad, but I think you would be better with just a snapper 2 and 3 20cm's for extender work. Then you can get faster drive.The drive was the first thing I put in, and 2 z-teks don't fit. At all.
Also it would benefit from having a smaller chassis. :trollface
Smaller chassis!!!
Smaller chassis!!!
Wedge
See if you can get ztecs as drive, hp or not.

The smaller, green and purple snapper. I don't think a DDT is necessary for a lw popup.
Did I mentioned that you needed a smaller chassis ?

STOP TELLING ME TO SHRINK IT, THAT WAS MY GOAL FOR R2 EVEN BEFORE I POSTED THIS BOT
Did I mentioned that you needed a smaller chassis ?

No, seriously... i'm just mocking you because after the argument with Inf you seem so oversensitive about drama in your own thread that you set up posting rules in your thread. Thinking everyone will follow them.
This practice tends to end in drama. I already remember Venko doing it, and it's showcase was a master place of drama and trolling, Smashy did it recently and it failed. Plus, your showcase title doesn't help at all on the pointless drama bait.
I will stop mocking you now, but you need to be a bit less overreactive. Your job is to keep a clean showcase and delete spam if it is posted, not create more even if it is not wanted.
A more constructive attitude is removing the pointless posts.
Edit: And now there is even more flaming in your showcase, and heck you even feed it by overreacting.
This is a showcase, not a shi*ty soap opera. This means POST SOME GODDAMN BOTS. Instead of whining aboot inf or whatever the heck you're doing. I've seen only 3 bots out of the this failcase, obviously you don't want to improve.

It only needs a nifty, actually. And shinies are lighter and you can make the bot invertible. You can use the rest of the weight for MOAR RAZORS!
Glad to see you back.
Needs a nifty as has been said before and if you want, you can get a blue snapper in there and attach everything onto it with t-connectors or preferably, extenders for that little bit of extra speed (debatable)
If you have the weight, add a snowplow and/or upgrade to irons (or maces).
btw, raise the motor up so the wheels are higher.
And re-designing the chassis is very important, mould the chassis around the components, not the other way.
Trust me bro, a baseplate anchor ALWAYS fits.
Even when it doesn't it does.
Well, you would say that NC, you do exostacks in your sleep. ;)Nah, that would be Geice, he utterly powns me when it comes to stacking.
The minimum chassis height you need for this bot is three "clicks" tall, which is when the slider moves up from the lowest level by three pixels.Keep in mind you can only do this if you mount the HP Z-tek on a baseplate or on a SnapperII. The SnapperII option is a bit better because you can also mount the snowplow on the Snapper. If you'd like to keep the HP Z-tek as it is, the chassis does need to be 5 clicks up.
The minimum chassis height you need for this bot is three "clicks" tall, which is when the slider moves up from the lowest level by three pixels. You need a keen eye to do this properly, but then the Nifty will just fit in. What you can also do is stack the Control Board into the Nifty, but this does take quite a bit of trial and error. Because of the Snowplow's collision mesh, though, if you try to attach it to a Baseplate anchor pointing directly out of the chassis, it won't work. You'd need a 20cm extender to make it work.I have the feeling I wouldn't be able to do this on my own. Anyone up for some skype guiding for this?
