*facepalm*

What.

Okay. Here's my completely unrealistic bot named T.N.T (Which stands for Tricks N' Traps). He's a KILLER:

Fun Fact: He was originally going to be named Box O' Tricks. (B.O.T) But I thought that name was lame.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #102 on:** January 15, 2011, 09:41:26 AM »

Does anybody have any thoughts about him?

SteveM4 · « **Reply #103 on:** January 15, 2011, 09:42:38 AM »

Its extender work it quite... elaborate.

Still to realistic IMO...

It's not that it's too realistic, it's that it's too rubbish.
Sledgehammers are a no-no, they are pathetic, don't use them. Ever.
You also need to look at the bot you've actually got there. I mean, the setup is very poor, those pole spikes aren't gonna do anything, neither are the mace heads and pistons on a HS isn't gonna work either.
The spinner is just going to knock the other bot away, meaning there's less of a chance of those pistons being any use.

Yeah, he's not my best, but I just started a new team: Den Of Rabid Killer Snakes, so I'll stop at nothing making awesome bots there.

I don't think your bot matches our current definition of killer...

You might want to try DSL, if you did not tried it already.

SteveM4 · « **Reply #107 on:** January 15, 2011, 12:08:02 PM »

I think he'd be good at DSL actually.

Stagfish · « **Reply #108 on:** January 15, 2011, 12:08:45 PM »

I think he should look through other peoples showcases.

J · « **Reply #109 on:** January 15, 2011, 01:13:08 PM »

Am I the only one who noticed Bob's newest robot doesn't have any air?
So how exactly is he using pistons?

Scorpion · « **Reply #110 on:** January 15, 2011, 01:15:49 PM »

Grrr, I'm becoming less perceptive by the second.
Yeah, that's a good point, unless it's a trinity SnS aswell somehow XD

No wait, I think I figured it out.
The front end weighs it down and then just simply pressing the fire button causes them to activate.
(Or something like that)

Err, no.
I think it's more likely that he just forgot to put the gas in there.

He needs to read the stuff on the beetlebros tutorial, and he needs to keep working on a single bot instead of building new ones.

He says he's read that stuff before, carrying on telling him to isn't gonna make him learn that stuff, but yes, he could do with lurking more to pickup some general tips.
And if you mean he should post an updated and fixxxed version of a bot we've given him advice for, then yes, I agree.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #115 on:** January 15, 2011, 07:29:36 PM »

Are spiked clubs a good weapon on a Disc Undercutter?

I stink at DSL by the way, but I'll practice it.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #116 on:** January 15, 2011, 07:30:41 PM »

NO!

Razors, mace and Irons.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #117 on:** January 15, 2011, 07:37:11 PM »

Thanks. Now I'll have more weight to put more batteries in.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #118 on:** January 15, 2011, 07:38:54 PM »

NO!

Please read the stuff in the bB tutorial more thuroghly

Sparkey, just tell him the rule on batteries instead of saying he's an idiot. Everyone gets along better.

The general rule on batteries is 1 Supervolt powers 4 HP Z-Teks for 3 minutes. It's generally the accepted battery power for a decent middleweight design. Nifties are used on Lightweight bots, largle due to their lower weight and smaller size. Pink Batteries are only ever really used on Ant and Beetleweight robots. Heavyweights tend to have two Supervolts powering them, and sometimes three for a 4WD bot with between two and four DDT Burst motors.

One thing you might want to try is Stacking batteries, you can hover the components over roughly the same space, and eventually the collision meshes will allow you to put two Supervolt batteries in almost the same amount of space as one Supervolt battery. This is a fairly basic trick to start off with, and one of the staple points of efficient robot building.
