i cant really see anything but it looks cool
i assume it has a popup arm in the middle?

Yep, it has 4 DDTs with 10 razors (2 onthe edge DDTs and 3 on the middle DDTs)

Reier · « **Reply #181 on:** March 23, 2016, 11:12:42 AM »

so are 2 tribars enough then? would it be better to have like 4 tribars and less DDTs?

Well it's a N00bbot and the tribars are just armor (that do more damage the more you hit it) so it's totally fine

Some better pics would be sweet

Looks pretty cool, do the DDTs reach anything when AI'd?

Haven't AIed it yet but pretty sure it would, the timing' really strict tho

N00bbots never get hit so it doesn't really matter what armor they have

090901 · « **Reply #189 on:** March 23, 2016, 09:13:50 PM »

ehhhh i don't think having just 2 tribars will be doing much for armor as tribars have a really retarded collision mesh that actually doesn't cover the whole tribar.

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #190 on:** March 23, 2016, 09:21:16 PM »

might be better as a true popup instead

Gauche Suede · « **Reply #191 on:** March 23, 2016, 11:23:28 PM »

Changing the bot to a true popup was a straight upgrade as the timing is way less strict now, but i'm still torn between 4 DDTs and 2, 4 DDTs can score OHKOs on bots with small chassis but 2 DDTs make the bot more durable against everything else

I think the second one looks cooler but idk efficiency-wise if it's superior.
do the rubbers work good when the zteks are at an angle like that?

The z-teks aren't actually angled, the way the extender's set up makes the z-tek perfectly perpendicular to the chassis.

May or may not be my entry to Geice's tourney :

DSA, 2 pinks, and 398.0.

Gauche Suede · « **Reply #195 on:** March 27, 2016, 02:40:29 AM »

I have no idea on how to fix this bot :

2 pinks, DSA, 397.0

Naryar · « **Reply #196 on:** March 27, 2016, 03:35:42 AM »

supports may be too fragile

also: inb4 sage sees this and flies into a rage

Pwnator · « **Reply #197 on:** March 27, 2016, 06:53:34 AM »

You spent too much on casters. One row should be enough most of the time.

And I'm assuming the setup is bursted. Generally, static setups would work better on bots that heavily depend on stability. Saves up on extender work as well.

The entire thing is held together with 3 baseplate anchors, no snappers at all. The bot's problem is that if I go for faster drive, then the bot would flip itself on contact with anything, but if i use a slower drive, then it'll take an absurd amount of time for the bot to plant itself, which lets the enemy robot rush it and flip it.

Z-Teks are perfect for these kinds of bots. It's just odd that your extender work for the weapon rack is so high up.

You could check the setups of VSes and build it from there.
