The weight class I want to go for now is HW.

[Badger]

Finish the MW, HWs are much more difficult.

[That Robot is a Spy!]

A Black and a Nifty should the trick

No.

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 = 500

I think so.

[Badger]

And MWs adapted for HW don't work.

Badger's right here. My HW popups are awful. Try and make some MW popups maybe. Or a design that uses wedges.

Pinks = 100

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.

NO!!!!

Matches are only 3 mins long, and most last less than 2.

Every MW HS uses either 1 black or, at a stretch, 1 nifty. Preferably 1 black.

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.

[Badger]

Use snapper2s (Blue ones)

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.

[That Robot is a Spy!]

Really depends on how much weight you want to use, and how much weaponry you use

ANOTHER UPDATE:


Yeah, I overcompensated a bit. The casters made it UNDRIVEABLE, so I brought back the front wheels, changed them to shinies, and lowered the battery count to 2.


FUN FACT:


The only part of this bot that has never been modified is the snappers.

[NFX]

Remove the front wheels entirely. The robot will slide along on its front end, and it will be easier to turn.

TC, Its usually better to post pics, rather then saying what you did.

That just didn't work when I tried it. At all. It went even SLOWER than it is now, and was painful to drive.

I'm working on the pics...

WINNER OF THE WORST PICTURE EVER

You really have to shrink the chassis.

The screenshot lost quality because it's a .bmp file. It just deletes pixels to make it all fit together.

And REMOVE THE FRONT WHEELS.
