It is like that, yeah. You can make the chassis longer at the top end so it's not as slanted, then you could get bigger casters in there.

What do the casters do when they're like that?

Invincible armour

Anything attached to the baseplate is invincible, which is why people started using casters as "invincible" armour, provided it's thick enough. The Janurary Bot Of The Month voting thread had a lot of Caster Armour in it.

Some games just don't deserve to have a quit button...

Anyway, I finally made something, and I don't have any idea what to do with all that leftover weight.

Mars Rover:

This setup seems to be the only thing I can build at the moment.

Have a larger chassis so you can have space for burst wedges.

He's still underweight, but he has two blacks now.

Needs moar plow.

Try swapping the angle connecters for extenders or just use one extender and use the side AP
And try protecting those extenders with something
And i'm not sure if the weapon has enough reach...

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #329 on:** February 27, 2011, 07:24:04 AM »

20 CM extenders wouldn't fit, and I can't line up the one extender how I want it.

But yeah, the weapons barely reach out. I've got an idea to change that, though.

I noticed his drive motors are a little spread apart.
You could get some more room out of your robot if you bring them closer together.

....Also, you could replace both ramplates with 1 plow, via the eFFe glitch.
That should help you save some weight and add more junk to it.

You should get the BBEANS AI. The bots are harder than the Stock AI , but eaiser than Starcore AI.

Bad Idea on a VS, mate.

Why? Because the frontal weapon would somehow weight it down-like?
Then just use Rubber Wheels O,o

My first bot that I used the eFFe glitch on.

ty4er · « **Reply #335 on:** February 27, 2011, 12:39:12 PM »

Try putting two connectors together for the irons and maybe put like a blade on the wedge extender?

J · « **Reply #336 on:** February 27, 2011, 01:44:01 PM »

Those angle connectors are like, what, 5 weight each?
Swap them with round extenders.
You could save about 30-ish weight

freeziez · « **Reply #337 on:** February 27, 2011, 03:26:56 PM »

With those angled plows, I'm not sure if bots will completely hit the spinner. They'll just fall off the sides.

madman3 · « **Reply #338 on:** February 27, 2011, 03:43:31 PM »

Angle the ploughs so they are like this :
_
/ \
Front
It creates a trapping effect that makes it easier to keep hold of bots.
