That's what people do.

Still, I think that would be better just as a Popup without the weaponed flipper.

I have to go now. I am going out back later on.

WTF?No one noticed thats 2 BBEANS! STACKED SUPERVOLTS!THAT WOULD DRIVE 8 HPZ MOTORS!

Fracture · « **Reply #183 on:** May 28, 2011, 11:41:14 AM »

*32 HP Z-teks.

Anyway I don't think many people are going to see the bot and "notice" the BBEANS batteries after only one hour...

In stock, flippers tend to be too weak really, UNLESS, you make the flippers rupt:

As it says there though, for this, you will probably need to lower the amount of weapons on the flipper, or probably just make it a normal wedge for the flipper.

you can't use the BBEANS batt unless you've earned it. Shame on you!

May his nostrils be plucked in humiliation!

May the Razor of Shame be shoved up his rear!

May he forever be a curse upon our forums, and may he be stricken from our memories...FOREVER!

Pyramid Scheme laughs at you. =D

In all seriousness, though, BBEANS Batteries aren't legal in normal Stock tournaments. Try to stack two Blackvolts in place, that'd be legal.

Please I did not know can you make an exception I will delete it soon Am I the first to have done this?

NFX · « **Reply #191 on:** May 28, 2011, 03:59:39 PM »

No, it isn't illegal in that sense. It's just not allowed in tournaments. You can showcase them as much as you want, but it's generally frowned upon.

Somebody · « **Reply #192 on:** May 28, 2011, 04:29:28 PM »

I'll pretend I didn't see it. Other than that you want the wedge out in front of the weapons, and rebuilding chassis is part of making better bots.

Avalanche · « **Reply #193 on:** May 28, 2011, 04:43:37 PM »

Make chassis sloped,and switch BBEANS supervolts for stacked blacks(same thing but normal.Then link both weapon sets on one button.

We mistakes

without mistakes there would be no galaxy, no sun, no earth and there would be no you or me (I have got to lay off the documentaries)
Anyhow I thought you can change a file to increase flipper power outside of the game.

Rebuild the chassis.

Scorpion · « **Reply #197 on:** May 29, 2011, 11:41:38 AM »

Yeah, rebuild it just to get the sloped front, protect the front aswell with ramplates, and also get rid of the two pinks.
Build to the weight limit, if you want it to be a MW, then just under 400, if you want it as a HW, just under or spot on 800.
The wedge isn't going to help much unless you have it sticking out more, and even then I believe you could just use the flipper wedges for the wedginess anyway.
The ramplate on the back won't be doing anything particularl usefull aswell.
Finally, you have too much weight on the weapon snapper at the back for it to be properly effective, I believe the genneral rule is about 4-6 razorz on a single DDT. You should only use razorz for a popup weapon rack anyway, rather than the irons.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #198 on:** May 29, 2011, 09:17:52 PM »

The Rupt glitch is extremely finicky. It also doesn't work well with hybrids; you kind of want to make a pure flipper if you're going to use it.

Another way to increase flipper power is to just use more DDTs. With a bigger chassis you could easily fit 4 of them. That will give you good flipping power and it won't make your bot spaz all over the place, so you can still use the popup weapon.

Good space management in that chassis. Looks fairly well planned out. I hate to say it, but in order to build really good bots one of the first things you need to learn to do is rebuild the chassis until it fits everything you need without a lot of empty space.

Here is the robot in its rebuliding stage.
I need to get it at 600KGS but it will take a good amount of time.
Any suggestions?
