They're not one of the better hybrids you could have. And hybrids are quite difficult to build effectively in the lower weight classes. If you do want to try one, I'd perhaps try a pair of RAD's in a similar style to Child's Play IV.

I'll try a flipper then.

You may want to use the rupt glitch for a flipper.

Ok here is the robot now. It is called Split Flipper so what do ya think?

You could easily shrink the chassis quite significantly. You might be able to put Rubbers on to get better ground clearance and/or wedges.

Can we see it from a slightly less birds eye like view?i cant tell how close the ramplate is to the wedges.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #286 on:** June 20, 2011, 02:36:51 AM »

Not bad, getting much better.

RpJk · « **Reply #287 on:** June 20, 2011, 10:57:31 AM »

Here is the robot upgraded now. Has loads of weight left so what should I do with it?

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #288 on:** June 20, 2011, 11:00:35 AM »

A non-rupting DDT.

RpJk · « **Reply #289 on:** June 20, 2011, 11:26:02 AM »

Cant do that, so what should I add instead

...yes you can. If you mess around with the chassis a little bit, you could easily add a DDT that doesn't rupt to put yourself back on your wheels. You might have to get rid of the ramplate for it, but it should be fine if you add a caster on each front corner to give some HS protection.

RpJk · « **Reply #291 on:** June 21, 2011, 01:16:09 AM »

Ok rebulit the chassis and here is what I got. I would to move the casters forward. And the bot has stacked supervolts.

freeziez · « **Reply #292 on:** June 21, 2011, 01:16:58 AM »

...the casters are pointless.

NFX · « **Reply #294 on:** June 21, 2011, 09:53:42 AM »

The casters are useful, they're just quite poorly placed. If you have a 90 degree angle on both front corners, then the casters can be placed as far out on the corners as possible, and that will allow a small amount of protection against HS'.

I am leaving the robot for now

Anyways here is another crappy robot of mine Wrong Dream. It is the worlds worst SnS anything I can do to make it better.

NFX · « **Reply #296 on:** June 22, 2011, 04:06:33 AM »

4 wheels is too much, this really only needs two. And the weaponry should be more damaging. You could shrink the chassis by quite a lot, you only need 2 BA's, you could attach everything with extenders pretty well.

Fracture · « **Reply #297 on:** June 22, 2011, 06:55:11 AM »

You should put the BAs below the black battery to save a lot of space. I know you probably want it to be invertible, but it's never going to do that if it has Redbirds. :P

I would tell you to try three wheels, but that would be a bit advanced imo...

tl;dr copy my challenge bot. :D

RpJk · « **Reply #298 on:** June 22, 2011, 01:35:51 PM »

OK I am experiencing a problem. I am trying to stack 2 BAs a robot control board and a supervolt. Is that possible?

It's possible if you know it's possible.

And knowing's half the battle.
