Your challenge is in the combat arena. Don't make it pure flipper.
Why 600kg?

RpJk · « **Reply #201 on:** May 30, 2011, 04:45:46 AM »

Its Stock HW and you've seen the rules what should I make it?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #202 on:** May 30, 2011, 04:58:45 AM »

HW is up to 800kg. Go with the popup flipper hybrid idea that you were trying earlier.

Here is the robot now
tell me what you think I should add.

First off, it's WAY underweight. Second, it doesn't look like those wedges stick out. It seems to me that bots will have to go up the chassis wedge before you can flip them. Third, try Axle Loading to get 4 wheels on in the same horizontal row. It's in the Tutorials and Tips section, but you can do the same thing without Axle Loading if you use Rubbers. Fourth, try getting another DDT to use for weapons.

Nice space management, by the way.

You'll probably win the challenge keeping everything, except take this piece of advice:

So make the wedges longer.

I've seen the video for it too hard.
How do you do the second thing.

Woah never knew that!

RpJk · « **Reply #210 on:** May 30, 2011, 12:35:14 PM »

I'd tried the glitch but to me it is hard I'm not going to do it. Anyways its still underweight. I'll add a bit more.

RpJk · « **Reply #211 on:** May 30, 2011, 02:13:33 PM »

Here is the bot upgraded further tell me what you think.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #212 on:** May 30, 2011, 02:17:43 PM »

Change the Irons to ramplates for the front. Also, rear armor and top armor is usually pointless, but I'd have to experiment with your bot to find out if it would help.

Still very underweight.

Avalanche · « **Reply #213 on:** May 30, 2011, 02:26:23 PM »

Irons at front just destroy the bots flipping power.

RpJk · « **Reply #214 on:** May 31, 2011, 02:36:34 AM »

Here is another robot with the same shape for my battle.
NEED HELP!

Avalanche · « **Reply #215 on:** May 31, 2011, 03:41:11 AM »

EMPTY SPACE!AHHHHH!
Bushido swords are doing nothing,and use ddt on front.As for hammer,move that ddt back.

Practice. That's how everything works.

As for the bot, the chassis is unnecessarily large. Try to shrink it if you can, and take the swords off the side. I think you've probably got too much weight on the DDT, it won't swing with any real force. I'd try taking a few irons off, or swapping them for razors, and adding some frontal protection with the extra weight that you'd get.

Here is Days of War it is a Rupt Flipper/Axe Hybrid
Tell me what you think.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #219 on:** May 31, 2011, 08:01:21 AM »

Looks good, but I think it would be more effective just as a rupter. Cut it down to a Middleweight, too.
