The phrase is actually a quote from I believe Marx.

"Sell a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and you have lost a wonderful business oppurtunity."

thats was stolen from the original. i also have used that line before in the old forum, in my signature, under quote of the week.

You should do those again. They were funny.

ok

check em out!

Here is the new bone breaker 2. I have used the Axle Loading glitch for the wheel guards, and I doubled the extenders on the end of the tri-bars for twice the damage.

I have noticed one problem with it though, it doesn't matter if the spinners are turning or not, when I tell it to drive straight, at always turns to the left.

Edit: It doesn't spin it just seems that one motor is a little less powerful than the other, so it gradually turns.

Here is it kicking EMERGENCY's butt in 14 seconds.

Well, this is a lot better now...
You did it and you will become good builder in no time

...
Nice axel glitch...
Now try this more : ...
Since you have free weight to 800 and must be not like this try to add the wedge on snapper we mentioned,or try to put ramplates on anchors on the front of the bot like this : [ATTACH]107[/ATTACH] , or try to make the double iron spikes to triple, see how here : [ATTACH]106[/ATTACH]
Export the bot chassis pic outside of game and edit it with some graphic editor program for more cool chassis and then import in back in RA2...
About your steering problem... If you are sure that the bot is wired properly, then must be ramplate touching the ground or try to make the spiners to spin at diferent direction cos if they rotate all in one direction the inertia power will steer your bot... If no matter what you try and did not prevent this steering you can send this bot to me to look at him and to tell you what the problem is...
Dont forget to have Starcore 1 or 2 pack installed and to test your bot vs all bots in his class...
Good job anyway...

The wedge in the back gets under everyone because of the tires, but it sometimes gets stuck going up hills, so it loses only when that happens. I have tried it against many bots, and it owns against ALL.

Venko:I will check to see if the ramplate is touching

i think you should download starcore version 1. it will be more of a challenge, but won't overpower you too bad. i learned that lesson when i went from stock to starcore 3

.

DOWNLOAD IT HERE.

Yea. You improved seriously. This one could withstand some of Starcore V1 bots. Oh, you could build some other bot types too.

I'd suggest building popups and rams, or a VS or hammer if you want.

_____

For the turning problem (is common on 2WDs), you should try :

-make the bot symmetrical as much as possible, for having the same weight distribution on each wheel.

- as Venko said, make sure no ramplate touches the ground (highly unprobable because of the extremely low ground clearance, if one ramplate was touching the ground you couldn't go forward at all, or even worse, couldn't move at all). but you could always check it.

- I suppose it is already like that, but put the ramplate at the same height, i think two steps from the baseplate are enough.

-Most importantly, make sure the drive z-teks are aligned horizontally.

-This bot is seriously overpowered, but it's not much of a problem because like that it has more total power (so works efficiently for much longer), and it is symmetrical with these two supervolts.

-Again, you can fill it to 800 kgs.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #51 on:** July 01, 2008, 10:26:03 AM »

The turning problem is probobly because you(most likely) have the outside spinners spinner inward and the middle one spinning on way. The power of that middle spinner is making turn.

You might want to get rid of that wedge in the back. I would add another spinner to the front and put snowplows in the front instead of ramplates at the side. Stacking the batt would help shrink the chassis. Getting Starcore V1 is definatly a good idea. Stock is way to easy.

Sage · « **Reply #52 on:** July 01, 2008, 10:29:09 AM »

Naryar, it is definitely NOT overpowered. 2 blacks for 5 HPZ-teks. "seriously overpowered?" ahahaha.

Naryar · « **Reply #53 on:** July 01, 2008, 10:41:29 AM »

And what about the BeetleBros's tutorial on power input and output? According to him, a black can support 4 HP Z-teks.

Somebody · « **Reply #54 on:** July 01, 2008, 10:44:35 AM »

I already checked the ram plates, and they are not touching the ground.
I am working on a rammer with a ton of spikes on the front. I need to find a place to get WinRar that doesn't cost 29 bucks.
Edit: also, the fight would never go 3 minutes anyway, because it kills everything quickly.

Either way it supports all of the HPZ-Teks

The clock says 1:52 left, so it lasted long enough to kill 3 EMERGENCYs.
It got flipped once, but the parts of the tri-bars that stick out of the top spun and flipped it back over.

Edit: I also learned that it works fine when some spikes fall off.

I was thinking that too three months before, but...

"The following are the exact numbers for the amount of electricity batteries can put out and motors consume. For maximum power to your components, the batteries' output should be equal to or greater than the motors' input. If you are only using spin motors, however (no burst motors), you can easily get by with output being only half of input."

Just before the part you quoted.

TorrFac: Thanks
My new rambot will be up soon.

Edit: TorrFac: why should I keep it a secret?
