It's... big?

Amusingly, this is a extremely common design for stock newbies.

Use round extenders, they're really much better than any other extender in stock. Excepted for spinners.

Rule of thumb : try to make your bot the lightest possible without compromising any of it's qualities (offense, defense, speed, looks, etc)

no can do with the round extenders, there's no way to gauge where the two attachment points are facing, so it's complete guesswork.

if you rotate components they are turned by 10° aka you have to turn the extenter 9 tome to make it 90°. you just have to find out which direction you have to turn.

Yes you can, no there is, and no it's not. You think i'm giving you crap advice ? There is a way to gauge where the AP's are facing. Try switching attachment points when you make long racks of 20cm extenders to hold weapons.

modified slightly, new weapon setup and batteries

Badnik96 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 27, 2012, 08:36:45 AM »

Shrink the chassis so there's a near-airtight fit around your components. Then replace the batteries in there with a single black.

Check out my MW poker, Quote, to see what you should be doing (but of course you can use irons or razors instead of maces if they're easier to use):

Naryar · « **Reply #9 on:** July 27, 2012, 08:37:21 AM »

Now you're doing it wrong with batteries... use just one nifty for 2 HPZ's. Don't change the drive. Put 2 weapons on each 20cm extender.

Also build to weight limit.

Team 9 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 27, 2012, 08:47:31 AM »

more modifications

Badnik96 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 27, 2012, 08:48:23 AM »

The chassis is still way too big.

Naryar · « **Reply #12 on:** July 27, 2012, 08:51:30 AM »

Also 1 large air tank is better than 2 small ones.

And you need a homogenous rack, so the weapons all hit at the same time.

whats with all this empty space around the picture ? we cant see anything at that angle, a topdown view would probably be better

how might i go about building a honogenous rack?

Naryar · « **Reply #15 on:** July 27, 2012, 08:55:01 AM »

Use only razors. Rotate them more if you can't insert them.

Team 9 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 27, 2012, 08:57:35 AM »

after a certain point, they simply refuse to go in, that's why i used pole spikes instead of razors there, becaue razors wouldn't fit. no matter how much i twist them

Conraaa · « **Reply #17 on:** July 27, 2012, 08:58:56 AM »

effe glitch them on?

Team 9 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 27, 2012, 09:00:16 AM »

i don't think that will work with pistons

Conraaa · « **Reply #19 on:** July 27, 2012, 09:02:48 AM »

Pretty sure it will, it's worth a shot at least.
