More bots!
LW rammer. It uses one motor to steer, making it easy to steer.

Really tight poker.

Double post... Why? WS!

Building a LW mace WS.

I. Chassis adjusted as shown.
 
screenshot_3.bmp


II. RAD is up 3 notches. Axle load that RAD, and add a shiny hub wheel.
 
screenshot_4.bmp


IV. Add the supervolt and blue snapper as shown. Replace the controlboard on top of the supervolt.
     Undo the axle load, and you will get this...
 
screenshot_5.bmp


V. Add te ztek and extender as shown. Wire it. Add a button titled Spin and a switch titled Activate. Both motors spin clockwise.
   Apply the EFFE glitch and evenly space 6 extenders out as shown. Add a mace to each extender.
 
screenshot_6.bmp


VI. Undo the EFFE. This is what the completed WS will look like...

V. You now have a sufficient amount of weight left to do whatever you wish. Since you already have DSA, don't add titanium.

VI. FINISHED.

If you're going to make a 1WD not (let alone an uncontrollable one) you really should have 9 weapons. You could also mount the drive on the snapper rather than wasting weight on both a snapper and a larger chassis.
Better than GK since 2009.

Yes, and no. WS need to be slightly large to be stable, and mounting a WS drive motor on a snapper causes havok explosions.

On other HS, Yes. It's very efficient. A lot of my bots in 1.0 have drive motors and weapon motors all crammed on a snapper.

Oh sorry, I didn't realise GTM has devolved to memeing even in showcases now?

I'm under the impression other people read these threads so I feel it is still worth pointing things out that could be changed. I certainly spent a lot of time reading through recently active showcases when I was learning.

However, this is rather detracting from my previous point so free to continue this conversation elsewhere if need be.

because you refuse to listen to people that know more than you and wandering spinners are hilarious

Building a MW WS

I. Chassis adjusted as shown. Again, you already have DSA, so leave off the armor tab.
 
screenshot_8.bmp


II. Here's the tricky part- axle loading a Redbird. Redbirds are very difficult to axle-load, so patience is key.
 
screenshot_9.bmp

Both baseplate anchors are up 3 notches.

III. Add the spinners. Both maces and irons will work on this design.
 
screenshot_11.bmp

The weapon bar at the front helps defend the motors. It also stabilizes the WS.

IV. Wiring- drive motor spins counterclockwise, and spinner motors rotate clockwise.

V. You now have 30+ kg. to do what you wish with. I added a ballast to keep the back end of the WS down.

VI. DONE.

you are wasting so much weight with this garbage extender work and sloppy chassis. you're still getting outweaponed by fury even with the 1wd.

shrink your chassis around your components and get those weapon motors on a snapper. maybe put a plow on it too. those static weapons at the front can't be very good at protection.

Chassis is not sloppy.
I have a WS in Special Forces 2 that uses a tiny chassis and snappers.

Another WS on the way...

Those static weapons are actually really good. A popup got under this bot... tried to hit the underside... and broke BOTH razor assemblies on the static weapons of this WS.

chassis 2 big, weapon motors should be snapper boosted, irons suck in that weapon configuration and the rammer part is poorly setup

You guys seriously need to stop getting so ass blasted. This is a showcase and you're acting immature. Badniks sassy butt hurtedness still cracks me up tho because I can picture him furiously typing this sh** up.

Like I said before red alert, the haters love you and don't wanna see you win. I've already seen bots here with better concepts than anything badnik has built and you're enthusiasm for stock makes me happy. You're gonna be an all time great one day, kid, I see the potential.

Weight and efficiency is very important in stock, especially in the lower weight classes. Whenever you build a bot, take a look at your setups and see if you can use less extenders and connectors and what not. You've already mostly grasped the concept of chassis management, this is the next step.

I'd like to see you revisit the HW poker/Insectoid bot. Take the advice Pwnator suggested and try and make it better. That build alone shows me you can improve.

Chassis is not sloppy.  yes it is, you've got way too much empty space especially around the anchors
I have a WS in Special Forces 2 that uses a tiny chassis and snappers. cool, this one's still bad

Another WS on the way... no one cares

Those static weapons are actually really good. A popup got under this bot... tried to hit the underside... and broke BOTH razor assemblies on the static weapons of this WS. if youre dumb and not aiing them with popup.py, sure. most people aren't.

any more excuses? fix your sh**

You got it. Honestly, there are 2 insectoid pokers already in 2.0.

Okay. The reason why I try different bot styles is because I see too many clones. I look through THE best bot concepts and I see- generic, generic, generic, generic. I just want to try something different.

Scrap Daddy, there are 2 pokers like Insectoid in 2.0. One has already beem built, and the other is being worked on. Those are the improvements you’re seeing.

Wandering spinners need a slightly large chassis in order to be stable or... they’ll havok. Reason why normal HS can be built super-thin? They have two wheels- enough stability for the bot. Because typical WS only have one wheel, stability is a challenge.

One wheeled WS can use snappers. Disk WS can’t because they’ll enter spikeball mode.

You’re absolutely right about the extanders- they do look crappy.

On the other hand, a disk WS can be built just like a normal HS with the concept of a tight chassis.
