Oh, okay. I should probably take out the Supervolt in my Lightweight and replace it with a Nifty. I don't need a whole Supervolt to power 1 HP Z-Tek and 2 Right Angle Motors.

No, a Nifty sounds about right for those motors.

That's what I said. I'll remove the Supervolt and put a Nifty in its place.

and one of the staple points of efficient robot building.

Dont forget ~~the rabies! Everything is better with rabies!~~ that the eFFe glitch also helps to make complex robots that have a smaller chassis, or are just trying to fit more weapon motors on a single round extender.

Done! Here's an awesome bot I just made named Python Neo:

The wedges made him MUCH better!

Naryar · « **Reply #125 on:** January 17, 2011, 07:09:09 AM »

So much unnecessary extender work and useless weapons.

Also static wedges suck. Use snappers or DDTs for your wedges.

I just wanted to use up empty space, but I guess I could take the razor tips out and put the Snapper Motors there.

Naryar · « **Reply #127 on:** January 17, 2011, 07:15:43 AM »

Put your motors inside the chassis, remove the razor tips (that aren't doing ANYTHING and are super unwieldy when used at as a weapon), use two wedges, and add moar weapons on your HPZ.

Like this?

Naryar · « **Reply #129 on:** January 17, 2011, 08:07:39 AM »

Pole spikes are not fitted for HS.

But better. Does it have snapper wedges ?

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #130 on:** January 17, 2011, 08:09:15 AM »

Yes, it does. Both flippers can actually flip now.

Enigm@ · « **Reply #131 on:** January 17, 2011, 09:07:37 AM »

Looks better, but still pretty meh.

SteveM4 · « **Reply #132 on:** January 17, 2011, 09:58:29 AM »

Snapper-load/servo-load some more motors.

I think he meant to just use them to hold the wedges in place, as mounting them on Snappers/DDTs lets you have more accurate angles for easier ways to get under other robots.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #134 on:** January 17, 2011, 01:38:42 PM »

If I was going to hook them to Snap Motors, why not make them flip, too?

G.K. · « **Reply #135 on:** January 17, 2011, 01:45:36 PM »

Don't, it's terribly inefficient. Cone something that will teach you about waste management.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #136 on:** January 17, 2011, 01:48:19 PM »

then try this

G.K. · « **Reply #137 on:** January 17, 2011, 01:51:59 PM »

^^Much better.

I like Heavyweights best, I have 800 kgs of freedom and I don't have to worry about going into another weight limit when I upgrade my bots with your suggestions.

This.
Even though AW through MW is a bit of a challenge, HWs give you so many more options.
