WHEN I FIND THE PERSON WHO MADE THIS BOT LAB I will get out a very pointy and sharp instrument and repeatedly hit them every day for the rest of their life and even when they're dead.


It gives me no indication that my new chassis is actually bigger, then it refuses to fit stuff that CLEARLY HAS SPACE AROUND IT, and then after ages of toiling around with the batteries, the BASEPLATE ANCHOR FOR THE SNOWPLOW WON'T FIT

HNNNNNG

The snowplow update is still being worked on, rebuilding the WHOLE chassis for this is actually quite hard. I will instead show my latest update that raises the motors (could afford to raise them one more probably, currently on 2), a nifty and a HP Z-Tek

Trust me bro, a baseplate anchor ALWAYS fits.

Even when it doesn't it does.

I couldn't fit it in the 1X1 grid space square I tried to put it in.


If I make it any bigger the whole CHASSIS has to scale up!


If someone wants to add me on skype for actual tutorials on how to do this stuff, feel free

I can't stack anything except from pinks, anchors and occasionally blacks, hence why I don't do stock much.

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.

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.

For invertibility, 4 clicks up for the RADs should be good. Normally I use 3 clicks, but one higher works just as well and helps compensate for the bit of tribar sticking up through the top of the chassis. You can stack the CB inside the HP Z-tek (has to be raised 7 clicks; it should look like it's just under the mini-hexagon holding the axle), Nifty, or the SnapperII (possibly just on top of or under the Snapper, though you may have to snapper load).

I have the feeling I wouldn't be able to do this on my own. Anyone up for some skype guiding for this?

Huh? You mean *ss blasphemy, the one who not only lamely jacked the name of the great and marvelous ArisenBlasphemy, but also signed up with a name against the no-swearing rules and completely ignored my PM about it?

Typical
I'm not sure how you ended up here

Try and shrink the chassis. Please don't kill me, it's a pain but it helps a lot.

I may be wrong on this, but would 4WD and less weapons be better?
