Make the width of it shorter to minimize chassis space.

How would that help him? Larger chassis = more HP and if he cant do anything with the weight it's better to keep the open space.

That much space won't save him from getting KOed. If anything, it's better to be a smaller target.

Sage · « **Reply #42 on:** July 07, 2010, 09:41:05 PM »

It might be just enough, while you cant really be a smaller target with that little chassis tweak. Plus, wider is usually better. And the bot weighs more, making his wedges better.

It's not enough when the bots now are overloaded with weapons and feed off of any exposed chassis. It MAY happen but the chances of that are very very slim. These days, bots take a couple hits to a chassis and the fight is over so that little amount of HP wouldn't mean much. The weight statement would also be false because the weight is in the back forcing the wedges upwards.

Please could you reccomend what I should do with the gained 4KG

I'd make the wedges longer by 20cm but it doesn't matter really.

Harsh Justice:

Use black extenders,they have the same hp and are lighter

Vertigo · « **Reply #48 on:** July 11, 2010, 02:54:03 AM »

Yes but the black extenders were facingin the wrong direction & they are really hard to rotate accurately

Are those wedges on an anchor?

Vertigo · « **Reply #50 on:** July 11, 2010, 03:00:19 AM »

They are on a ddt, the ramplates are on an anchor

Daemon · « **Reply #51 on:** July 11, 2010, 03:03:07 AM »

If were you, I would use anchor istead of snapper2.

Vertigo · « **Reply #52 on:** July 11, 2010, 03:06:00 AM »

No because:
1) The snapper2s allow me to move the vs's so that they intersect other components
2) Burst motors make motors spin faster (apparently)

It is also works as srimech, right?

Vertigo · « **Reply #54 on:** July 11, 2010, 03:21:30 AM »

The snappers don't work as a srimech, the vs's work as a srimech by themselves

It's easy, black extenders are hexagonal prisms, meaning all you need to do is get the lightshining on the end of it and you can see each side perfectly.

OR you can download my skin pack and use the marked extenders

Vertigo · « **Reply #57 on:** August 09, 2010, 05:00:59 PM »

OK, working on my first decent (hopefully) horizontal spinner
But its all going wrong - help please!

OK, I start off with two extenders off a Snapper2 as shown:

I then effe 3 HP Z-Teks onto the extenders. I then enter the practice area & return to the bot lab.
Look what it looks like now:

Why does it do this & how do I fix it?

Credits to whoever built absolute chaos for Snapper2 setup

Infiniteinertia built Absolute Chaos.

And on a Snapper II, the back AP acts like a servo AP. It goes back to its starting position always. Attach the extender where you want it THEN rotate it.

OK, thanks I'll try that
