First bot with BBEANS AI, Midnight Sun

I put in a pink for the lulz

Not bad, but could be better. Shrink the chassis further so you can get rid of the pink and add more razors/protection.

get rid of the pink and get longer wedges.

No custom parts.

Unless I'm mistaken, you shouldn't use the BBEANS batteries unless you earned them as they won't be allowed in any tournaments.

u can just stack blacks if u really need to.

The point of the BBEANS blacks is that it doesn't give you any advantages, it just saves you an hour and a half of trying to stack them in real life. Therefor I really don't see why they should be illegal.

If it takes you two hours to stack a batterie you best stick with DSL.

Using the BBEANS batts is cheating. When building a bot and trying for absolutely no empty space, it's insanely hard to stack a black with no space. So we are all forced to leave a little space. With the BBEANS batt, you can make it as ABSOLUTELY small as possible, which can save you up to .3 kg, maybe more. Not that huge, unless you need to build a chassis thats under 20 kgs >:O

Plus it takes no skill and I will look down with disgust at anyone who uses them except for a BBEANS tournament.

Updated

I removed the pink, stacked the blacks myself, has longer wedges, and moved the middle plate.

try to slim the chassis down especially near the drive motors, u have loads of room there.

Ok, though it pisses me off that i have to rebuild the bot to remove that, but, if i wanted to use that space, i'd have to make it an SHW.

Oh the wonders of the chassis rebuild.

It'll get worse. You'll eventually spend at least an hour and a half working on just the chassis. Putting the components in is the easy part.

roboman2444 · « **Reply #136 on:** October 06, 2009, 07:04:21 PM »

well it depends... for oo5. OOta and my new vs, crylic. all had small rectangle chassis that only took 10 min to snug around the batts and the snapper.

try to visualize the components before u start to work on the robot. build a chassis, put some of them down to get a feel for if u need to reshape and reshape.

Pwnator · « **Reply #137 on:** October 07, 2009, 04:16:26 AM »

Heh, it probably took Sage less than a minute to make N00bot's chassis. And look at what it can do. :O

Anyway Triton, you don't need to make it a SHW. Just fiddle around with the extra weight and you'll most likely find the right way to use the weight. :D

What??? Since when?

It takes me that long when I'm making a chassis as compact as possible.
