OK here is my MW VS Modern Specialist It has DSA and can beat Rampant Puppy Love and Event Horizon so any thoughts on how to improve my robot?

freeziez · « **Reply #241 on:** June 13, 2011, 12:52:09 PM »

I like it. :3

That's a rather large improvement, but anyways me likes

Vertigo · « **Reply #243 on:** June 13, 2011, 01:11:05 PM »

MUCH better

NFX · « **Reply #244 on:** June 13, 2011, 01:20:13 PM »

Looks a lot better than your previous bots. I'd say the chassis could be lowered, you only need it five "clicks" high for Z-Teks to fit, and that should free up quite a bit of weight. Perhaps upgrading the drive to HPZ's would be good, or adding some protection for the motors.

By far the best bot from you thus far. Hope to see more bots like this in the future. :D

I'm already very impressed by the bot, but if you're really looking for improvements you could lower the chassis like NFX said and if you feel like axle loading, do that to the discs while angling their motors inward.

Trovaner's bot height ruler really helps with getting the exact chassis heights...for your current (awesome) bot, it'll look something like this on the ruler:

Look for that tiny space between the top of the grey bar and the top of the line marked 10.

Oh, and just because I really want you to improve more, here are some more useful links that don't go to the BeetleBros website (since that link's already been posted here):

Anyway great work; you are improving quite quickly.

Need help now with the weight.

freeziez · « **Reply #247 on:** June 15, 2011, 02:47:44 PM »

Wedge.

RpJk · « **Reply #248 on:** June 15, 2011, 02:55:08 PM »

with what?

Conraaa · « **Reply #249 on:** June 15, 2011, 02:56:43 PM »

Is there enough space to get a snapperII infront of the black?
IIRC you'd have to shave off 0.6kg to get a snapperII + wedge on it though

Put a small wedge in the front on a snapper or somethin'

Switch to Shiny Hubs too, Grannies aren't doing much here.

RpJk · « **Reply #252 on:** June 16, 2011, 12:53:07 PM »

Here it is now. Only problem is that it is a bit unstable.

NFX · « **Reply #253 on:** June 16, 2011, 12:55:44 PM »

Not bad. If you use smaller discs and irons instead, you'll have the same sort of radius with the weaponry, whilst having a bit more weight to play with, perhaps to upgrade the wedge burst.

Also, if you raise the baseplate anchors up, you could negate the need for extenders altogether, saving you another 8kg.

RpJk · « **Reply #254 on:** June 18, 2011, 03:07:18 AM »

Ok is this better?
And it can beat Riptide, Wedge Tracker, Flaming Whizzer (well I slammed it OOTA) and Neglected Vain.

RpJk · « **Reply #256 on:** June 18, 2011, 03:10:25 AM »

Should I add anything else?

Avalanche · « **Reply #257 on:** June 18, 2011, 03:11:25 AM »

Hmm,see if you can upgrade the Z-teks for drive to Z-tek hps.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #258 on:** June 18, 2011, 03:21:14 AM »

You might be able to shrink the chassis for that (not sure how big it is now).

Conraaa · « **Reply #259 on:** June 18, 2011, 04:05:06 AM »

Correct me if i'm wrong, but couldn't you get away with a nifty on that?
