Hey, that's not too bad for a very-first bot.

http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm#basic - Read this, it's a catch-all for new builders.

You should use the blue snappers instead of the green, since they're lighter. You should try to use only 2 drive motors and a black battery, also.

2. You're weapons don't need to be at the front and back. You'll have the potential for a good Middleweight if you use one snapper and a Y connector to attach the motors. Since you're so light for a HW, you can realistically downgrade. A good HW HS takes a lot of time to build the first time through.

3. You eFFe’d weapons, sweet! Half the weapons on each Tribar barley hit, not so sweet. You can double your damage by attaching the first six extenders 90° down from it’s current rotation. You can even double that by placing the two motors on the same side of the bot.

4. When placing spin motors on burst motors, use blue snappers to save you a few KGs. Your current bot can't fit them, but the chassis should be rebuilt anyway.

I have read them, but thanks for a refresher.

Ill Take that into account.

Try to attach the weapons on an HS like this because it's more damaging.

Aaaaaaah

Ok, I made some edits:



However, it is around 12 KG Over.  I think I will edit this more later.

You could do with trying to put only 1 supervolt in and then making the chassis smaller. Other than that, seems to be improving.

[Pwnator]

Slowly getting there. Keep in mind that this design only requires 1 black battery. Also, if you don't care about radial symmetry, you can mount those motors on just one snapper.

It is now 388 KG.  Kinda upset that the game would not allow me to double razor, but oh well.

If the game doesn't let you double up on Razors, practice the eFFe glitch. http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm#effe The more you try it, the more reliably you'll be able to use it.

As for this bot, it might benefit from some front defense and saving chassis space by putting the CB on the supervolt. Redbird drive is usually ignored too. It's better than version 1 by a long shot.

By won't let me place there, I mean it will not place there. As in, it doesn't even go to the spot where it should go.  Not red, just not there.

The game engine's limited by the rule of 7, meaning that you can't chain more than 7 components in a row. You can optimize the setup by ditching the 20cm that's holding the T connector.

Without that connector it is not possible (without CF) to connect the motors.

Y connectors are your friend.

Edit: Now they are too close together.

yes it is just use snapper loading

The motors? Just eFFe one of the motors.

Weapon looks amazing but I would suggest changing the wheels to the rubber wheels as they provide grip and are low to the ground AT THE SAME TIME! Everything else is good so cheers!
