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 the have you been?

Is it invertible?
IRL problems.

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

Apparently it's because shinies didn't touch the ground.

You could eFFe another pair of 20cm extenders onto the pistons to make the irons both point in the same direction. It's kinda tricky, so I'll walk you through it.

First, fire the pistons, then press the Pause/Break button (You can find it on your keyboard, mines is next to Print Screen). The game will freeze, but you can still move around in it. Switch tabs and back again, so you can attach things. Go to the Components tab, select a 20cm extender, and hover it over the first 20cm, like you would for regular eFFe glitching, but don't click to attach it. Press the Pause button again to unpause the game, and the pistons should retract to their original positions, with the 20cm extender you want to add floating in space. Click to "attach" it, and you should be able to attach both Iron Spikes on the ends of the extenders, without the need to rotate them.

Yes, it's invertible.

@NFX So that's how you effe a piston

Thanks. I'll try it.

Edit: How do I stack a control board in a nifty? I tried, but it just won't work.

I can't finish the trinity bot (see "Edit:" of last post"), but I made the weird vs.

I've never made a bot that needs this much glitching

The srimech kind of works.
I know I need to change the direction of the razors, but I'm feeling lazy.
Its pretty slow, but it doesn't flip over from turning
The z-teks are mounted on 20cm extenders attached to the snappers.
Supports are 40cm

Hax-Mode, right?

Sage · « **Reply #45 on:** October 27, 2011, 11:51:34 PM »

J, I don't think he used Hax-mode. Just some simple effe glitching.

Taco, It's a Drum. Looks nice though.

NFX · « **Reply #47 on:** October 28, 2011, 03:48:12 AM »

No Hax-Mode, just some excellent Axle Loading. I would have the drum spinning the other way, though, it's going to kick itself up in the air at the moment when it hits an opponent. Does it have any AGOD at all? (Press F12 to see the collision mesh, a green wireframe version of the bot, if it doesn't line up with the components, then you have AGOD.)

Stacking, unfortunately, is simply a case of trial and error. You've just got to zoom in and try every conceivable point in space until you get one that works. For me, it's usually one click below maximum height, and just hovering around there until it works. You sometimes have to rotate the camera to get it to work, though, but just keep at it, and it will eventually work. Sorry about that. =)

@NFX No AGOD! yay!
I fixed the razors.

@Jonzu Thanks.

And no hax-mode.

Extreme double post action of returning to forms!
mediocre rammer

I don't care what you think about the name. (but suggestions would be nice)

NFX · « **Reply #50 on:** March 04, 2012, 12:21:56 PM »

It looks pretty good to me. You could shrink up the chassis a little more and get the Blackvolt closer to the front. I'd also put the razors by the wheels up to the front to help with damaging. It's not very likely that the opponents are going to get to your wheels. With the weight saved by chassis tightening and removing whatever's holding the rear irons on, you could swap the razors for irons as well.

Have you fought an HS (or worse, an SnS) with a rammer in stock? Your wheels are sometimes the first components to come off if they're not protected.

The bot looks cool; neat arrangement of spikes there. If possible, I would use maces for wheel guards though, because they cover a greater area. I would also downgrade to a Nifty or even two small battery packs and then add more weapons. 16 iron spikes used to be enough to beat most HS, but now the standard for HS is 18 spikes, so you want to at least tie that.

I Like Tacos · « **Reply #52 on:** July 29, 2014, 05:00:12 PM »

So yeah long time since a showcase

lw popup. 6 razors on there, and the wedge is used for self-righting because it works better. This is the first time I've actually stacked anything in a battery.
It's ok. I probably spent more time on the skin than the actual components.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #53 on:** July 29, 2014, 05:02:44 PM »

It's 10kg underweight, you could probably get another razor on there or something.

Other than that it looks pretty good.

I Like Tacos · « **Reply #54 on:** July 29, 2014, 05:24:39 PM »

Well I would but when it has a smart zone it ads 2kg and then I don't have enough weight for anything

KOS · « **Reply #55 on:** July 29, 2014, 05:42:58 PM »

Make it wider so HS don't knock it away with the extra weight

It already has 6 razors, 7 might be overkill and might make the DDT fire a little slow.

090901 · « **Reply #57 on:** July 29, 2014, 06:06:28 PM »

DDT is already going to be slow since he only has a nifty. You would be better off with a snapper and like 3 razors and stronger drive.

Smart zone weight usually doesn't count toward the actual weight of the robot in most AI tournaments.

That's a relief. Thanks.

Here's version 2 variants:

B wins against A almost every time, plus B's extenders are more protected. Both have 6 razors total.
A and B beat the original, btw.
