On that heavyweight you're going to want to mount the snappers vertically. It apparently makes the wedges better.

no
thats pretty much pointless since he would have to redo the whole chassis and its never been proven that mounting snappers like that helps the wedge

i have a bit of a problem



i exit the bot lab with the bot in this configuration

upon reentering the bot lab



it will turn into this

no idea whats happening or if i can fix it cause the bot is useless rn

the APs on the blue snapper that arent the axle itself are like servos, and will always rotate to their starting position. It can be a good or bad thing depending on how you use it.

So yeah man, there isn't anything you can do about it.

thanks for clarifying. will keep in mind when i rebuild it

cool

got a bit of weight to play with. not enough to add more motors, too much to leave untouched either.

i considered adding castor armor since that's actually been monumentally helpful for i hate kids but idk

thoughts?

It depends on whether you want to stick to the non-invertible weapon setup, and if you want the drive to remain static or not.

Either way, you should try to stack the CB into the battery and you could mount the plow on the extender holding the bottom motor. If you want the drive to remain static, you wouldn't be able to shrink the chassis by much although you might have enough weight for 2 static razors or something.

If you want to mount the drive onto the snapper, maybe have a T-connector go down from the top extender (although I'm not sure if that would be invertible). If you do manage to pull this off, you can have a much smaller chassis and still have enough weight for casters and such.

[Badnik96]

your chassis is definitely too large

[Shield]

it havoks a lot rn idk why. turning is also unexplainably slow

[Pwnator]

Alright that looks like a bad idea so you should either revert to a static drive or find another way to mount the drive onto the snapper (maybe try mounting it on the top arm instead?).

Those exposed weapon motors are just begging to be knocked off.

It is mounted on the top arm

Bottom arm is too high, so wheels wont touh the ground

You're using grannies anyway, so that shouldn't matter. Try mounting an extender on the middle of the snapper (with the 2 APs facing up), then another extender parallel and on top of it, then a T connector going down from that extender. That might be low enough for shinies.

aye aye. I'm working on a static drive setup tho since it's rly wonky

[Naryar]

looks like it would benefit from a black battery to me

mw poopup for revoultion 2

currently sitting at 382.7 idk what to do with the rest of the weight

also dk if one black is enough

thanks chris

I could've sworn you've built this bot before, anyway lose the rubbers or some weapons to get more battery, you need at least another Nifty (500+500+100+100 or 312.5+312.5+100+100 by motor drain measure). Then if you still have weight, you can try a blade on the wedge, casters, or an anchor with an ear. Also, try turning around the green snapper and using a 140cm with snapper loading to see if it saves you some weight and extends the wedge a bit more.
