Because they are slightly wider than Shinies, meaning he'll get more traction.


Not true, width has nothing to do with grip.  Grip/traction is nothing more than a single number in the txt file.

As long as it's already invertible, there's no need for Grannies.  The only thing you can do to that bot now is make the drive motors closer to the center, so they're harder to knock off.

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

Either Inf has seen this 100 times, or he is mad because he could never make one. I am guessing on the first one.

Well, it's not very difficult, but still shows that you are a decent builder.

Normally.

What do you mean by "normally"?
I know I'm not the best builder on the planet, but what do you mean?

That was nicely random. Armor? Invertability?

2 blacks, DSA, invertible.
I'm going to trim the chassis a bit more in a future version, & I think that will give me enough weight to put Grannies on.

Edit: I'm also having an über case of naming block. If anyone has a better name for ZX-2, I'd be grateful.

copied clickbeetle's snapper setup, and how he attached the drive. only thing you switched was where you put the weapon motors.

whatever. still did it.

I didn't really mean to make a rip-off of Click's bot, it just sort of turned out that way.

I wish I could stack blacks... I've spent at least 2 days total trying.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

IMO stacking a CB into a nifty is easier that stacking 2 blacks.

I'm by far not great at stacking Blacks, but I'm getting better. Like Sage said, you just need practice.

I'd say the order of easiest to hardest of stacking is:

Pinks->anchor on CB->snapperIIs->CB in nifty->Black batts.
