Wow quite a substantial update to that one. had to do plastic because it was to heavy otherwise. Not very good at maneuvering however.
2 RA for drive and 2HP Z-Teks on snapperII's

use shiny hub wheels. they're quite a bit lighter.

Made two bots this time, one of them is a spinny death bot, the other i like the way it looks.

DSA, 2 stacked blacks, 2 HP Z-Tek for drive, 2 Redbirds and 2 HP Z-Teks for weapons.
And its a hybrid!

This one is just for show. I don't know what to do with it. :/
2 pinks, 2 redbirds for drive, 1 normal z-tek on a servo for weapons

Not only did you use red extenders, you used redbirds.

someone pls make him stop it hurts

(it just looks ugly. i dont hate you)

Naryar · « **Reply #24 on:** July 21, 2015, 03:38:07 AM »

why are you putting casters on the bottom of your bot if you have wedges

Sircreepalot2 · « **Reply #25 on:** July 21, 2015, 05:00:31 PM »

Cleaned up the chassis, got rid of the red extenders (Sage), and got rid of the stacked black.

G.K. · « **Reply #26 on:** July 21, 2015, 05:11:28 PM »

How stable is it?

Is it just the one black now?

Sircreepalot2 · « **Reply #27 on:** July 21, 2015, 05:35:49 PM »

It is running on one black now and it isn't very stable but it can self right

Sage · « **Reply #28 on:** July 21, 2015, 05:53:59 PM »

Ahh, so much better.

Yea so maces are no good on VS. Also, rotate the weapon extenders so that both weapons hit at the same time (90 degrees).

Naryar · « **Reply #29 on:** July 22, 2015, 02:49:15 AM »

what sage meant is that he prefers it if you have a single red extender among black ones... he finds it inherently interesting

Pwnator · « **Reply #30 on:** July 22, 2015, 03:19:31 AM »

Also, if you rebuild the chassis with the middle section a couple of ticks narrower, you could free up enough weight for another black.

Sircreepalot2 · « **Reply #31 on:** July 22, 2015, 10:55:57 PM »

I gave the front armor instead of giving it another black. Black batts power 6 HP Z-Teks right?

It has also become more stable and the VS don't get snapped off as much

One black is OK.
You should try mounting the FS and VS on each side with blue snappers, that should save you some weight. I would try to make it wider using some snowplows.
IMO I think redbirds or z-teks for be fine for the FS as you only have 4 irons on each one.

So i was having a good time making this bot but it turns out it crashes the game everytime i go to test or fight it, could it be the trov chassis glitch or did the snapper do something? Im still looking for advice on this bot but if someone could tell me what was crashimg the game i would appreciate it.

Although i really like the drive on it

090901 · « **Reply #34 on:** July 27, 2015, 09:48:43 PM »

Change the in game graphics settings to low and it should work.

RedAce · « **Reply #35 on:** July 27, 2015, 09:51:14 PM »

It's the trov glitch causing the crash. Simply set your graphics quality in your game to low and you should be fine.

As for the bot, what am I looking at? Props to something a little more different in terms of design, but it it's a whole new kind of different that I don't think works. Let's go over a couple things to try and fix it:

1: do NOT use Mud Tires, like at all. Shiny and rubber wheels are infinitely better. And while your at it, turn the drive motors. While you may prefer it, you're gonna hate how it moves since the bot will have trouble turning it and will be stiff as if it has tall wooden sticks for legs.
2: Lower the weapons so they can actually hit your opponents, by putting them on the sides of the extenders. You will need to use the Snapper Loading Glitch to make this work.
3: Put the plows in the front and move the casters to the bottom, if necessary that is.
4: With the extra weight you have, you can add a couple more maces and one more tribar with an equal amount of weapons (or not)so it fight a bit more.
5: Also, props to using the Trov Glitch, but for a chassis like this, I don't think you'll need it since it give empty space and a waste of weight. Try to make things a little more confined when building this, like a shoebox. Try something like Absolute Chaos for example. In fact, that bot is a great reference to building a powerful HS to begin with. Take lots of notes from that bot and apply them to this bot.

I hope this all helps you out. No offense intended at all.

EDIT: Well, I'm still slow.

Sircreepalot2 · « **Reply #36 on:** July 28, 2015, 12:16:48 AM »

Sooo the main thing i want to fix is the weight. props to infiniteinertia for making absolute chaos under the weight limit.
But the bot itself destroys basically anything in starcore 3 but i want to try to get it under 800

I had to use grannies because the shinyies wouldnt touch the ground
Any tips?

Pwnator · « **Reply #37 on:** July 28, 2015, 01:43:34 AM »

Snapper height and proper extender setup is key.

You can do it all by yourself, and when you figure it out the first time, it will feel great. Just take some time to think and play around with your setup.

Remember, AC uses only 2 Snapper IIs. Start from there.

Sircreepalot2 · « **Reply #38 on:** July 28, 2015, 01:34:24 PM »

So i guess snapperII have two attachment points?!?! That would've helped to know a long time ago :/
BUT I did it :D I'm so proud!

I have all the zteks spinning inward and it is pretty good to control

Pwnator · « **Reply #39 on:** July 28, 2015, 06:20:29 PM »

There's still a way to make it invertible and give it another supervolt. You're getting there.
