Who is this guy?

Well built Geice. I might rotate 4 of the zteks (two of the high ones, two of the lower ones) 180 degrees, so you can attack more height levels. (Better to counter wedges, better to attack extenders on other HS).

I tried this originally but I had issues with driving straight. I tried angling the drive at a lower level but it had trouble with being invertible.I was able to get it to drive straight with grannies, but I had to remove the plow and yes I'm aware it doesn't do well against 36HSes with maces but it can occasionally beat iron ones due to the exposed extenders.

Are you sure you aren't Venko? Or did Venko give you his game?

Nonetheless, that is a fantastic build. Very nicely done.

You know, you could switch to rubbers for the wheels if you used a different set up. The way you have it now I assume you are using 8 20cms to hold up the motors? You can do it less pretty with 4, thus saving you 8 kgs and giving you enough weight for rubbers. They have a larger mesh and better stats, so perhaps they would allow you to turn some of the motors upside down.

Also, your bots remind me a little of InfiniteInertia.

I'll try this when I rebuild it. Thank you for the help. But by rubbers I assume you mean grannies?

No, the rubber wheels. The ones that weigh 17 kg and look smaller than shinies.

madman3 · « **Reply #45 on:** June 06, 2011, 04:07:01 PM »

Nah, he means actual rubber wheels, the ones just smaller than shinies. They do, in fact, have a larger grip mesh than shinies, so that's why.

Soooo bots not invertible with Shinies might be invertible with rubbers? (GO AWAY ROBO)

Doesn't that mean Shinies are better than rubbers for lower ground clearance and wedges? That would certainly explain NWB's amazing wedges with Shinies...

Hi, I'm RA2. I'm bipolar.

RA2 locks physics in a room and then farts in it.

Not necessarily. The grip mesh has no effect on the ground clearance, only the actual wheel's mesh can do that though.

Incorrect. The mesh is just the ability for a bot to contact the ground. However, the visual mesh is still what hold a bot off the ground. At least, that's what I think is going on. TO THE RA2 MYTH TESTER

Just drive two NWBs towards each other, only one with Shinies and one with rubbers. :P See which one gets under more.

...so how can rubbers make your robot MORE invertible?

Better area of grip and therefore slightly more controlled movement? Worked like that for my SnSnS.

Even if the wheels dont tough the ground, the larger mesh will. Your bot will still slide on the ground instead of on wheels, but will still move.

My attempt at a T400 rebuild. It does alright but needs a rebuild IMO.(It uses one of my older bots chassis.)

DSA, 1 black, casters, 6 irons, HPZ drive, and 6 Irons on Zteks.

Posting now due to being away from my computer for the majority of the day tomorrow.

Fracture · « **Reply #59 on:** June 07, 2011, 09:17:44 PM »

You seem to be a fan of double narrow caster-armoured chassis wedges. :P (that's right, I just used four adjectives to describe one word)

Switch the weapon and drive motors perhaps?

Looks like it has DSA. You could also save some weight by using a Nifty, which can power all four of those motors.

do you like traps?
