Obviously I'm new to this forum. I'm kinda new to this game, but i have learned about some of the glitches and stuff. I'd like some advice. Here are a few of my heavyweights.

Not bad at all. Already have to avoid a lot of things we usually have to go over with new builders. Welcome!

Slice and Dice: The extenders with only a single weapon on it make the weapons even more brittle. You can just remove those extenders and attach the weapons either to larger disks or disks the same size. Also, that chassis is really tall. Try to find a way to put everything in a chassis that is as tall as your tallest component, which in this case is the green snapper at 7 notches tall.

Ghouls Grasp: Not much really to say here, other than that you need to learn to stack black batteries. also, are the weapon motors that are attached to the disks attached via Servo? if so, Learn to also use that blue snapper you used for the drive.

Bloody Success: Good as is. Rammers are all about what you are happy with.

INF- he stacked the blacks on bloody, so we know he can, and also you only need 6 pixels for the green snapper.

Yeah blacks are hard to stack sometimes, i did it in my rammer, but i didn't feel like taking the time to do it again. And the motors are attached by servo. I had just installed the ai components, so I haven't been able to use the blue snapper too greatly yet.

Nice rammer.

If you have 2 blacks you won't need a pink battery.

uhhhhhh hes better than me!

Very nice stuff for a newbie. I was thinking "Lets see how many custom components this guy uses" when I first saw this.
Just keep up on improving your effe and snapper loading skills and youll be an eccelent builder in no time :D

naryar - I wasn't sure what else to do with my extra weight, so i just stuck that battery in there haha.

Sakkahr · « **Reply #8 on:** May 25, 2009, 12:28:33 PM »

Here's another one. I made it awhile ago so i wasted a lot of weight using like 12 pinks instead of blacks.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #9 on:** May 25, 2009, 12:34:29 PM »

There are a lot of things you can do to make this better.
Cut down weight where you use too much of it(extender setups, snappers for stacking), switch to blacks, and get some wedges.

Sage · « **Reply #10 on:** May 25, 2009, 02:06:34 PM »

The left picture looks good but when you look from the back into the inside, it's totally crappy (compared to your others).

Sakkahr · « **Reply #11 on:** May 30, 2009, 10:56:14 AM »

This is the design I'm working on for Ghoul's Grasp. Servos probably need to be replaced with snapper 2s. But this one killed every heavyweight on Starcore v3 first try, most of them quite easily. Anybody that can give me a link for Starcore v4 beta or whatever?

System32 · « **Reply #12 on:** May 30, 2009, 11:01:43 AM »

heh, I like how it looks.

Sakkahr · « **Reply #13 on:** May 30, 2009, 04:19:22 PM »

Also my updated version of Slice and Dice. DSA, 2 blacks. Any advice on either robot?

Somebody · « **Reply #14 on:** May 30, 2009, 05:11:34 PM »

On slice & Dice and Ghoul's Grasp, show better inside pics (kinda hard to see), and show the weights.

Sakkahr · « **Reply #15 on:** May 30, 2009, 05:38:14 PM »

updated

Somebody · « **Reply #16 on:** May 30, 2009, 06:33:06 PM »

Wow. Very good.

How effective are the side things on Slice and Dice. Are they for stability?

Sakkahr · « **Reply #17 on:** May 30, 2009, 06:37:55 PM »

Yeah, and the ramplate on the back stabilizes too.

Somebody · « **Reply #18 on:** May 30, 2009, 06:48:06 PM »

On Ghoul's Grasp

Rotate the dual stacked spikes into a vertical position, so both hit at the same time.

Winged phantom: Try not to use angle extenders, they waste weight. I would also turn the plow around to catch spinners better.
