You usually need wedges of a sort on this type of FS, as it isn't wide enough nor heavily armed enough to be a HS killer. Get the chassis so you can get at least Snapper IIs in, although that may be difficult with the weight available, so I'd remove the plough (as Nary said), make the weapons razors and you should then have just about enough weight.

Okay I've ditched the idea now
For this idea

I am trying to make a LW VS but I cannot lower the top Baseplate Anchor but I did triple stack the bottom 3 so any help?

Why 4 anchors?

RpJk · « **Reply #563 on:** August 10, 2011, 07:11:04 AM »

Two for stablizers the top one for the weapon and the bottom middle for a basic wedge.

NFX · « **Reply #564 on:** August 10, 2011, 07:12:53 AM »

You don't really need the one for the wedge. It's going to be pretty terrible if it's static. Maybe you should try angling the Stabilise ones forward a little bit to reduce the need for heavy and vulnerable extender work.

Here it is now.

Pwnator · « **Reply #566 on:** August 10, 2011, 08:33:35 AM »

Ditch the rubbers and use shinies instead. Add some caster armor and extender fodder for your stabilizers.

Is it this any better?

Depends how stable it is.

If you have weight, change the 4 irons to 8 razors and make it an angled vs?

RpJk · « **Reply #569 on:** August 10, 2011, 08:51:06 AM »

This robot was in its 8th major overhaul before I posted it and the first 3 overhauls it was an angled VS but I want to try to keep it as an actual VS.

Aww, it's cute. It reminds me of a Zerg Larva - http://images.wikia.com/starcraft/images/7/7d/Larva_SC2_Head1.jpg

Okay now I need it almost fully-HS proof but what should I do because I'm fighting Starcore V4.

Avalanche · « **Reply #572 on:** August 10, 2011, 09:19:56 AM »

WHAT?
STARCORE 4?
Jesus christ you have a deathwish.

Looks a lot like Pysc's BBEANS3 entry.

It does good against non HS's.

It was based on it.

What I think it needs is better Stablizers and that's it.

Vertigo · « **Reply #575 on:** August 10, 2011, 09:48:12 AM »

VS tend to do badly against HS anyway

RpJk · « **Reply #576 on:** August 10, 2011, 09:49:40 AM »

Still it's a good robot.

It's nothing special, it could definitely do with two extra irons

RpJk · « **Reply #578 on:** August 10, 2011, 02:38:43 PM »

Okay but what should do to make it able to kill most HS's?

Naryar · « **Reply #579 on:** August 10, 2011, 02:52:52 PM »

I would say faster drive, to get under them more easily.

You're certainly not going to outweapon a decent HS, so you must go and gut-rip them ASAP to destroy their chassis before you lose a weapon.
