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 but probably extremely difficult. What are you trying to build that would require this?

I am trying to build a SnS/HS hybrid with a compact chassis.

It is probably doable, but it'd be extremely difficult. Maybe not stacking the BA's in would be easier.

Anyways to improve it now?

You could bring it down to LW by chopping off that empty bit at the back of the chassis.

LESS:
-Empty space
-Drive
-Power
-Chassis height (?)
-Distance from weapon to chassis

MORE:
-Weapons
-Motor speed, possibly (Snapper II boosted)

Nope how to improve it to MW. I'm guessing loads.

NFX · « **Reply #307 on:** June 22, 2011, 02:44:30 PM »

On an SnS, you generally want as powerful a drive as possible, so HPZ's are fine here. Shinies are okay as well, but you do want more weapons that this. And this is crucial, you only need two BA's. You can build everything else off of those with a decent extender setup. This will save you a lot of chassis space, and a very good chunk of weight.

Ah...didn't realize it was a MW SnS, I thought it was a completely new bot.

Take a look at Vox and Hurricane from Starcore v4, possibly Whirlpool as well. They might help.

Ok I think I have found the type of robot in which I am ok at.

Here is Wammer Style bulit in 20 minutes It has powerful weapons but it has bad wedges.

You don't need the back protection

RpJk · « **Reply #311 on:** June 25, 2011, 02:30:38 AM »

Ok took that away what next?

Vertigo · « **Reply #312 on:** June 25, 2011, 02:34:39 AM »

Basically, clone this :P

RpJk · « **Reply #313 on:** June 26, 2011, 02:37:00 AM »

Ok this was my attempt to build my version of Event Horizon. I want it to beat Wedge Tracker and Flaming Whizzer. Any suggestions on how to improve it?

The axe heads prevent most of the bots from hitting the razors by the looks of it.
Replace them with blades.

Plus i'm not sure of it but couldn't you get away with a nifty?

RpJk · « **Reply #315 on:** June 26, 2011, 02:41:47 AM »

Probably not.

Vertigo · « **Reply #316 on:** June 26, 2011, 03:02:25 AM »

Replace the axeheads with blades, and then, you will have a pretty decent bot

ty4er · « **Reply #317 on:** June 26, 2011, 03:03:14 AM »

Just wait for the advice to come instead of asking for it...

But perhaps bursting your drive will make it faster/less space wasting?
Oh and you don't need the edges sticking out on the chassis.

RpJk · « **Reply #318 on:** June 26, 2011, 03:13:42 AM »

What blades and how do you snapper the drive?

According Trov, bursted drive doesn't give a significant boost to power or speed.
