Use all the weight
Ballast is wasted weight
Tell us the armour
The drive's too fast for that type of bot
Sage is gonna kill you
The chassis could be smaller
It sucks
Your pets are being skinned alive
You're going to heck
Live with it
GAME OVER

Hey, behave, dude.

You need to chassis at the back to be wide enough to fit a black width-ways inbetween, but no wider. Then you can build the rest or the chassis around fitting the rest of the components in.

I was bored and tried to build a clamp. Oh and for my battle against Fracture I am just wondering who thinks I will win and who thinks he will win?

You're getting better i think but he is just a bit better.
Ya don't need that ballast and only need 1 black, with that you can upgrade your weapon motor and have more weapons.

I also have a question about the RA2 wiki, is there someone who makes articles of new people if you know what I mean.
Well you could either wait until someone can be bothered to make a page about you or you could just make a wiki account and make yourself a page (But you have to PM ACAMS and ask him for the right to make an account on the wiki or else it won't let you (Going by what TX told me, and yeah I'm using a bracket inside of a bracket, so what?!))

With the subject of the chassis you should try and make something like this if you feel up to it


(Credit to TX because I was too lazy to build a bot like this myself)  :cool:

Sorry for the crappy suggestion but I thought I'd give it a go

Why do you always use ballasts?
Try to use square extenders (they might be a pain but it helps a lot).
Then you might be able to put a wedge on there.
And what do you mean by 'one more to go'?

I use ballasts to make the chassis lower. I do not like circle extenders because it wastes my time getting it right due to having only about 45 mins in the morning before going to school. And I have chosen to bulid 4 robots to fight Fracture, after I bulid them all I will choose the one to fight him. Now I have to go

Ballasts are wasted weight, you can use the weight elsewhere.
I know they can be annoying, getting them lined up but it does help.
Well, it's your choice i guess.

OH GOD NO WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING!?

Seriously, don't use Square extenders. They're useless. Use round extenders.

Ballasts do not actually make the chassis lower, they effectively just waste weight. Although they can improve your wedge (a notable example is the infamous Insult To Injury V), they are effectively worthless, so just get rid of it. Square extenders are very much useless, a trick with the round extenders (You need a keen eye for this), is to rotate them in "jumps" of nine. You'll notice that they don't rotate cleanly, they turn around in jumps, each one of these jumps is 10 degreed. So you can watch for nine jumps, and you'll have rotated your round extender at a right angle. Might be a pain, but the weight saved is definitely worth it. Also, try to use Shinies or, if you have the weight for it, rubber wheels. Grannies are really only any use on HW Horizontal Spinners when invertibility is an issue.
