I don't think he was able to raise the BA's, because the Redbirds would get in the way. If he did use Extenders, he'd save at most 4kg, which I think might give him enough weight for HPZ drive, if he did a bit of chassis reshuffling.

To get the frame at the correct angle. They're well protected, so I thought it'd be OK.

I'll try that.

Yay! Back from the dead!

My attempt at a 1-wheeled LW HS. 9 razors, 2 HPzs, and 1 RAD+Shiny, all powered by 1 nifty. Underpowered FTW! (I haven't downloaded any mods or AI packs on my new PC so i had to setting with Berserker.)

stack the cb into the battery

2 HPZ screws up the driving I bet. And no invertibility kills it, along with the low-ish weapon weight. It's just weird...

Use a SnapperII setup, or if not mount the RAD the normal way and lower the chassis. Should go with 90 degree anchor pointing out and use a T connector or something. And don't have the HP Z-teks upside down.

S_M should probably know if one RAD is strong enough drive or not.

But It's around 14kgs, right? and that doesn't include extenders. This setup, with extenders, is 10ks, IIRC.

I would mount it differently, but then I takes up more space. should I still change it?

Yeah, i'll change the z-tecs now.

I know a Snapper boosted RAD is fine, no idea about a plain RAD for drive. 2xHPZ IS overkill though.

Yeah but you save chassis weight by not having to make space for the RAD and get both faster and more protected motors (as long as you find a good setup).

At least it's original, and pretty decent.

but fighting berserker ? srsly ? berserker is just plain AWFUL.

Somebody · « **Reply #130 on:** January 07, 2012, 07:32:03 PM »

But still better than most of the stock LWs IIRC

Yeah, but I have no AI packs. =P

Will download SC today.

Edit:

SC 3.0 downloading, updated bot:

NFX · « **Reply #132 on:** January 08, 2012, 06:16:01 AM »

You could lose the pointless red extender, mount the drive directly to the Snapper, and get a second caster on it. I'd try and get the motors a bit more protected by the chassis, though, they looks quite suspect to me. Good build, though.

Badger · « **Reply #133 on:** January 08, 2012, 08:23:09 AM »

I'll go do that.

I was just wondering what happened to T.F. when I fought it, it looks like I hit an extender that was holding the weapons and drive on... odd...

Nice bot. I'm sure this has probably already been said but you could snapper load the RAD directly onto the snapper's axle.

Badger · « **Reply #135 on:** January 08, 2012, 09:12:08 AM »

OK, Update:

- Reverted to earlier weapon setup to use up more weight
- RAD is directly connected to Snapper
- Will put a

on it soon
-Move the ZTeks to be better protected as well as have better weight distribution

Much, much better! Keep it up. :P

NFX · « **Reply #137 on:** January 08, 2012, 09:21:36 AM »

Excellent build. Six irons might net you the weight for a caster, for some way of defense, but that's a very, very nice build. Great work.

Badger · « **Reply #138 on:** January 08, 2012, 09:24:03 AM »

Thanks. =D

Well, I couldn't let Smashy get too far ahead, now could I? Anyway, when you're making a decal, do you save the .tga file as 16bits/pixel, 24bits/pixel or 32bits/pixel? I tried 16-bit and it doesn't seem to work. does it even work as a .tga? Do i need to use .bmp instead?

Badger · « **Reply #139 on:** January 09, 2012, 01:43:41 AM »

Nobody? Oh, OK then...

I might work on a MW version of this, IDK...
