Hi all.
I just wanted to improve my skills with stock, so first, i'd like to see where i can improve on my BBEANS bot.
Heres a splash i made for him a long time ago:

2 HPZ-Tek drive
Slipper bottom wheels
2 Blacks
DSA
At least 30 razors
Wedges that act as srimechs

One idea for the new version is to move the snow plow so that its flatter against the surface of the wedge, and maybe a couple of ramplates at the sides.
I may also upload some of the bots i've recently been working on.

Thanks
Wham

Maybe get the plow to be flat ontop of the bot than shield the front with ramplates. Also try to get the DDTs even

Well I was thinking that the plow was getting in the way of the range after watching it fight Chernobyl. Once the plow was destroyed, THEN you saw it beat up Chernobyl. I would just remove it and add Ramplates in the front instead.

i would stuff more weps on there and cover the thing in ramplates.

That's what YOU, a newbie, would do.

Anyway, advice....

Make the wedges even and go for ramplates.

I HATE THAT BOT!

'tis quite powerful though. Whatever you do, get rid of the plow and put something flat on top.

Edit: I lost to a 680 kg bot.
Sucks for me

Remove the plow, even up the razors and DDT's, and improve the drive and frontal protection. You have about 110 kg's to work with.

Did you entered a 114kg underweight bot into BBEANS 5 ???

Anyways, definitely 4WD.

the bot still rocks but I agree your Chassis' wedge could use a little bit of protection

Ok, i've been doing a bit of work on the front, heres the latest:

Insides are the same except for 2 added slimbodys for a slight bit more battery life.
Since RODW2 has had his upgrade, he can now beat more bots than before (vortex ce, rabid pitbull, ect)
Most bots dont get to meet the sides which is good :) (unless its mome rath, who gets the back)

Slimbodies??

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #12 on:** June 15, 2009, 03:25:33 PM »

Yeah, IDK why, but at least it last a second longer :)

Slimbodies are DSL.

I think they're also part of a Darkrat components pack, but my memory has never served me so well. Either way they're not stock..

Pretty sure he means pinks

Could be, but I can imagine "lasting a little bit longer" also means DSL/custom Slimbodies take less voltage then say, a Ztek.

It's probably pink batts, I don't think Wham uses cheat parts.

System32 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 15, 2009, 03:52:52 PM »

Use a nifty instead of 2 pinks...

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #19 on:** June 16, 2009, 10:04:17 AM »

Yes, i meant pinks.
I wouldnt use cheat components in stock, just reskinning them.
there isnt any space to put a nifty in.
