Here is my showcase. Feedback is appreciated. I know im not the best builder so criticism is ok as long as it isn't too harsh.

Seek and Persue

Split

Sir Knight

Im also open to suggestions to get the weight to the fullest

Very well done, I can see you've had a lot of practice.

My only suggestion is that the third one is way overpowered; 4 blacks is more than enough. Also, that one burst with an entire "T" of spikes won't do you much good. Can you fit a DDT in there?

xanosz · « **Reply #2 on:** February 25, 2010, 08:44:56 PM »

Unfortunately I can't fit a DDT in there. I could probably remove 2 batteries a fit one behind the other bursts. And should I shorten the middle burst to 2 razors on each side?

You could fit a DDT if you remade the chassis.

That first one is a beast! Nice first bots for your showcase. You have a ton of potential with some guidance.

I agree with Sage. Bot 3 should have the chassis remade... it could be constructed a bit more efficient. It is a great attempt though.

Ok heres the new Sir Knight:

It actually moves a lot faster now. Its also lighter (as you can see). What do people think of the second bot?

You should use DDTs for your weapons and get 4WD on your popup. About the 2nd bot, you can get a HP ztek if you switch the servo to a blue snapper.

Don't concern yourself over "lighter," it's not important as long as it doesn't affect which weight class you're in. As a general rule, you should always be trying to do one of these two things with your design:

-Get your bot as close to the weight limit as possible
-Make your chassis as compact as possible (ie, the minimum amount of empty space)

I'm hesitant about those Snappers with razors, as Snappers don't really have the power to flip a heavyweight. It looks like you've got enough room for two side-by-side DDT's, though, maybe consider that in your next build.

use rubber wheels for Sir Knight. I like the first robot (the poker) and the LW.

xanosz · « **Reply #9 on:** February 26, 2010, 10:07:46 PM »

The new version:

now has 3 DDT's instead of 1 and shinies

Badnik96 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 27, 2010, 08:09:24 AM »

Build to the weight limit and use rubber wheels. Also, get the combo AI and SZ pack from the Downloads section and use the SnapperII in that pack for the wedges. You can also get rid of the T extender and the 2 pink batts. What's the armor?

G.K. · « **Reply #11 on:** February 27, 2010, 08:10:50 AM »

No, they suck for wedges. Keep your Snappers.

Daemon · « **Reply #12 on:** February 27, 2010, 08:54:15 AM »

There are too much empty space,try to add 2 z-tek motors.

xanosz · « **Reply #13 on:** February 27, 2010, 03:32:15 PM »

Sir Knight:

Im open to suggestions to increase weight. And the DDts are a close as they can be.

And heres the new split:

090901 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 27, 2010, 03:51:57 PM »

Sir knight's chsaiss is way to big, also give it 4wd and get rid of th pole spikes.

xanosz · « **Reply #15 on:** February 28, 2010, 01:08:00 PM »

Im running out of things to say for the new version of Sir Knight, anyways here it is:

for those who cant see it now has:
4 HP Z-Tek
2 Slipper Bottom wheels
2 Shines
3 DDTs
16 Razor Tips
2 Blackvolt batteries
3 SnowPlows
2 Wedges

Badnik96 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 28, 2010, 05:58:03 PM »

make the 2 slipperbottoms shinies.

090901 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 28, 2010, 07:07:23 PM »

Take rear snowplow off and put ramplates on the front.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #18 on:** March 03, 2010, 12:28:07 AM »

Hey guys, how about telling him some things he's doing right too instead of just saying "Do this. Now do that. No, don't do that."

Other people already pointed out how you can improve Sir Knight, so I'll just give some comments:

Good space management and stacking work. The weapon setup is well done, and I like how the three plows fit nicely around the sides of the bot. Some armor in the front would round it out quite effectively.

xanosz · « **Reply #19 on:** March 07, 2010, 01:50:14 PM »

if i change the slipper bottoms to shinies they wouldn't touch the ground and id have 2 extra z-teks. As for front armor i put the DDts as close as the would go and due to the slope i cant put in any ram plates.
