Ok. I can't decide if I want to post it. It's 650 somethin and I'll just get flamed.

the ideal thing to do is just post it, so we can help you build it ti the limit and make it better

I'm gonna make a splash........

Cheese please · « **Reply #1283 on:** August 28, 2010, 09:00:13 PM »

no point in making a splash if its not finished. finished meaning weight limit, effective weapons, doesnt have to be COMPLETELY rebuilt, etc. but if you want to then go ahead

How's the splash? I think I did pretty good :P

Fix the spelling error, and make it not underweight, then I'll be happy.

RAIOactive. That must be like radioactive. But worse. Much, much worse.

Pretty good actually. If you didn't have that space between the wedges in the chassis, you could probably fit another battery in.

tbh i think your being a little to picky here....its underweight yeah, but that takes time to make it not underweight, while not filling the chassis with junk at the same time. and as for the spelling error, come on now... instead of actually flaming and commenting on "spelling" errors and saying its underweight why dont you tell them how to make it not underweight, yeah we told him how many times but still...some people learn slow..its not the end of the world. people come to this forum to get advice not get flamed for every bot they make.

OT: make the zteks pointing outward like i said earlier. if you use the Y extenders then you face them outward, if your using regular round extenders then you put them like the way you have them right now, you just have it backwards

OK. BTW you will notice that I don't type the letter D sometimes because my D key is unreponsive (this keyboard sucks, then again, it is a tablet PC XD)

Why did you put forth the effort of making a splash if the robot is not finished? Sure Sage and other experienced builders do that, but that's just because they usually get it right the first time.

You've done a good job so far, but you can always do better. Here's some stuff you could do to help improve the robot:
-Build to the weight limit. Yes, I know you didn't want to hear about this, but you can't expect a 150kg underweight robot to not attract negative attention.
-Add armor. Without component armor, your chassis is exposed to anything the enemy can dish out on you.
-Mount the spinners on motors. Whether these motors be snappers or servos, it doesn't matter. Attaching them to motors will make them faster and a whole lot more effective.
-Don't be afraid to reshape the chassis. Your design has alot of potential for improvement, and you can't be afraid to reshape the chassis in order to do so. If you're afraid of loosing your work, just export the robot before you remake the chassis.

Please don't quote me and add counterarguments as to why you shouldn't follow the suggestions simply because you don't want to.

I realised the other day how anoying quoting and doing counterarguments is, so I won't. I'll get to work on it tomorow, my eyes are bleeding.

Ok, thats good to hear. I eagerly await the improved version.

LET 'EM BLEED

Cheese please · « **Reply #1294 on:** August 29, 2010, 12:43:34 AM »

i see. if you are going to put the ramplates as a stopping (cant tell if its sloped or not because of pic angle) device then use snow plows, and if you want you could put in 4 Zteks for drive to make it even that more deadly

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #1295 on:** August 29, 2010, 12:49:53 AM »

Ok.

And yes I ALWAYS extract my bots.

Can you crop your pics ? We all know what the botlab looks like

Badnik96 · « **Reply #1297 on:** August 29, 2010, 09:26:09 AM »

I agree with cheese, use plows instead of ramplates. Do the servos make the bot bounce at all?

Enjoy 200HP of defense then, compared to however much 2 ramplates offer.

Snapper'd VS's do make the bot bounce, if TTTTM's anything to go by. I'm pretty sure that mounting them like this on servos won't bounce the bot.

And I'd maybe try to move the drive motors inwards a bit, so the wheels aren't sticking out of the chassis.
