Great!

To improve it you could stack the control board into the Nifty battery, letting you lower the SnapperII and making the bot invertible.

If he lowered the SnapperII, though, the HPZ wouldn't attach directly, as it would go through the bottom of the chassis.

Still, VERY nice build there. I'd imagine it's the maces that are causing the uninvertibility, because they have a boxy collision mesh. If you do manage to get the SnapperII lower (you can use a 20cm Round Extender to attach the motor, you have the weight for it. Preferably red.

), then that should help with invertibility. You could also try widening the front edge of the chassis to give you space for the big 25cm or 20cm casters, they offer a wider range of protection, but for the same weight as the 15cm or 10cm ones.

Actually, its the tribar getting in the way of being invertable. And if I use the extender to mount the motor, it will be more in the front and won't be as effective. So I think I'll keep it the way it is. Also, thanks to everybody who helped me make Turbine a lot better!

It's been a while since I posted a bot, so I made a LW trinity bot (that needs a better name :P)

Not much to say about it... It's invertible.
Here's a pic of it exploding:

Any thoughts?

Upgrade the wheels, maybe.

Nice space management. You could probably get away with just a nifty, though. Then you could use the extra weight to put 2 irons on each side instead of just 1.

Somebody · « **Reply #26 on:** October 19, 2011, 11:09:11 PM »

Yeah more irons if possible.

Why? It looks invertible to me

I dunno.

Remember that all wheels have the same grip value in stock, Nate.

NFX · « **Reply #29 on:** October 20, 2011, 03:55:37 PM »

Looks pretty nicely built, in my view. You can power this with a Nifty, though. Does it have DSA or Plastic?

Shinies have a bit less actually but it shouldn't matter at the LW level

I thought I forgot something. It has DSA.

It's resistance that's lower, all wheels have the same grip of 1 IIRC. Shines have .12 resistance compared to the standard .2 of all wheels with the exception of minis (which have the lowest). From what I've read, resistance is related to the wheels sliding or "drifting"

smashysmashy · « **Reply #33 on:** October 20, 2011, 07:12:20 PM »

I thought rubbers drift a bit...

Also, IMO all this needs is a nifty so you can use the weight to add MOAR RAZORS

Or spikes

Naryar · « **Reply #34 on:** October 21, 2011, 05:38:21 AM »

as everyone said, use a nifty.

Also pretty sure you can end up with more weapons than this.

Maybe use plastic as well, so you can at least use a total of 4 weapons (razors, irons, maces) on it. Trinity bots will always be glass cannons anyway, so i do believe plastic is fine.

I Like Tacos · « **Reply #35 on:** October 21, 2011, 11:23:19 PM »

ZOOM BLUR EFFECT MAKES IT MORE POWERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!11

Plastic armor for weight 'n stuff.
Grannies because shines don't touch the ground :C
I used iron spikes so the weapons wouldn't fall off in 5 seconds.
Better name(?) Probably been taken though.
Added an ok skin.

Pwnator · « **Reply #36 on:** October 21, 2011, 11:30:30 PM »

Don't segment the 20cms for the drive and use 40cms instead so you can properly rotate the motors for Shinies. Then you can add moar weaponz.

Scorpion · « **Reply #37 on:** October 22, 2011, 05:23:18 AM »

Try and stack the CB into the nifty, lower the chassis accordingly and I believe you'll be able to have shinies on there.

Where have you been?

Is it invertible?

IRL problems.

I thought he'd be using grannies for invertibility anyway?
