Made the wedges wider, and turned the razors 90 degrees.

i tested it against V4 melstorm, and wins about 85 percent of the time i'm driving it. Do you think it can take down a mace 36HS with castor armour? it still packs a whallop even if there is caster armour.

fdghdfsffjjjwrrwhjkb i read it as v3
but i think hed manage find a way......... im sure

how wide is it now ? because popups dont tend to do so well if theyre too narrow

My Entry:

I used grannies because i would have a choice with shinies:

A: sucky wedges
B: only 2 wheels touching

Bracket wedge is for when a bot tries flying over the top. I made the wedges wider, tilted the razors 90 degrees, and removed the blades so i had weight for the anchor and bracket.

Comments?

You could take the snapshot before adding the smartzone...

NFX · « **Reply #146 on:** July 24, 2012, 01:56:18 PM »

I would advise removing the bracket, and getting the blades back on. If one of your wedges gets taken off on a lucky hit, that'll severely hamper your ability to get under your opponents. The bracket wedge will in all likelihood hinder you actually getting close enough to your opponent's chassis to damage it, and probably just get taken off very quickly anyway.

I've tested the blades, and they don't do what they're supposed to do, even if i make them longer. Remember, i'm fighting a 36HS, so wedges aren't my highest priority unlike other popups. I've tested the bot without wedges on other HS's (Manily Spin Doctor and Maelstorm.) and it can still ko them because of the positions of the ramplates. That's why i can't use shinies, because the ramplates would move the shinies of the ground, so it would save weight actully to add the bracket, for many times bots go over it, and flank me. I've already PM'd Dragonfire my entry, so all i have to do is watch, and root for a win.

BACK FROM THE DEAD!

My first bot in about a year. (that isn't crap.)

Improvements?

You only need 1 black.

Venko · « **Reply #150 on:** March 30, 2013, 02:07:58 PM »

Use one black, replace the inner bear claws with razors, narrow the drive by attaching it on a 20/or40 cm shorter extenders, so it can be inside of the circle of the spining weapons. You don't need a HP drives for a MW bot if You ask me. With the weight left, upgrade to DSA, and think of some way to make this invertible.

With all the weight he gets from removing one of the blacks, he should just make them maces.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #152 on:** March 30, 2013, 02:58:04 PM »

that looks really havoky. and why no dsa, but you have 2 blacks and 2 snappers? that doesnt make sense.

yes change the inner claws to maces, your setup wont dish out much damage ATM because of those claw normals.

Wolfsbane · « **Reply #153 on:** April 02, 2013, 06:39:49 PM »

Can someone help me make a 36HS chassis with 2 blue snappers and 2 stacked blacks? I just spent half an hour failing at it.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #154 on:** April 02, 2013, 06:50:58 PM »

What exactly do you need help with? If you're building a classic AC style 36, the biggest trouble you should have is making sure your setup is a maximum one extender off the snapper, otherwise it's pretty easy.

on the chassis i tried either it was too small and the collision meshes were colliding, or it was too big. Can you help me get a general shape?

Sage · « **Reply #156 on:** April 02, 2013, 07:32:19 PM »

Sure.

The basic 36HS uses 2 Snapper II burst motors, 2 drive HPZteks, and 4 Weapon HPZteks, with 9 weapons on each tribar.

If you use the generic weapon setup (two 20cms off then end of the tribar, one facing out and one facing down) then you can only use ONE extender off of the Snapper to attach your weapon motors, or else the rule of 7 will defeat you.

Before you even enter the bot lab, make sure you can do these things:
1. Stacking black batteries/SnapperIIs
2. Effe Glitch
3. Snapper Load

Now, it IS possible to make a 36HS without snapper loading, but the only designs me and Inf could come up with were Absolute Chaos and ULTIMATUM. So, learn to snapper load, unless you wanna clone.

The 1st step is planning your design, IN YOUR HEAD. Calculate how much everything will weigh based on the design you come up with, to see how much your chassis has to weigh. Then go try and make that chassis. If the chassis is too big, it's a bad design, and you start over.

The general chassis shape can really be anything that will fit 2 snappers. So even a square works.

Tips:

Put the batteries in last, else you might screw yourself over when you accidently release your snapper loaded extenders.
Try and clone one of the previously designed 36HS first. This will help you get your bearings on what needs to be done.
Be prepared to have your patience tested.

Good news and bad news. Good news, I just finished building an Iron Spike 36HS based off one of CB's bots. Bad news, Ra2 crashed before I could save it.

Should I try rebuilding it from the ground up? I put like 3 hours into it.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #158 on:** April 05, 2013, 02:08:03 PM »

of course, now you know the setup, it should take like 40 minutes to replicate.

Trovaner · « **Reply #159 on:** April 05, 2013, 02:58:47 PM »

Have you tried recovering it? If you haven't tried creating a new bot where the last one was then you can sometimes grab the bot file from within the Teams folder.
