Hy guy's

I got a little bored making normal bots and this is the result
Ow yea the weight is 745.3

Hope you guys like it

Oooh, a new member.

I love the bot. However I will say:

I see square extenders. Don't use them. They are the same HP and have the same connective options as regular extenders, and are much heavier.

We hope you enjoy your stay, and make sure you pay special attention to the guys with coloured (non-black) names. They're the better members of this forum and they all know what they're talking about

Is the name a "Flushed Away" reference?

Anyway, good to see another more unique robot around here, and a new member! Welcome- I'm GF93, the resident madman around here. Enjoy your time here

Cool bot, can it move forward?

...lolwut

~~What's the weight?~~ oops.
What armor did you use? Also that's a bit too many black batts, 2-3 should suffice.

Weight is in the original post, I don't know what armour he's used, however. What armour have you used?

Oh and there is a special glitch called DSA. Basically you don't select what armour you use, and you automatically have DSA. It's the weight of aluminium and about as strong as steel.

Well its plastic because of all the motors i needed and bats, and its just for fun no weapons
it has enough power to hop like 5min, after that it's unstable

Hah, looks awesome. Good to see people building fun stuff! And welcome, enjoy your stay :D Let me know if you need anything or any help, etc. (:

Welcome to the boards.

Robot looks particularly mental. I can imagine it doing quite well in a Tabletop match, it could just jump straight over the opponent while it launches itself off the side. Not sure what the Mini Wheels are for, I might get rid of them. Nice work, though, who cares if it's inefficient.

Zygoth · « **Reply #11 on:** November 08, 2011, 03:53:44 PM »

k
there are
8 burst motors to jump and move forward
1 burst motor to help flip the bot when it is on its back
2 drive motors for the wheels so you can turn when you are facing a wall
and its a pain in the but to make one jump stable

I love it!

Ribbit.

Most un constructive post evah,

Enigm@ · « **Reply #14 on:** November 08, 2011, 04:44:45 PM »

DO WANT.

smashysmashy · « **Reply #15 on:** November 08, 2011, 04:48:28 PM »

Because frogs are automatically awesome =D

Naryar · « **Reply #16 on:** November 08, 2011, 04:55:51 PM »

Oh, a leaping bot... that's rare.

Anyways, it's overpowered. 4 black batteries will be enough for this.

Also Scorpion has earned 10% warning for a totally unconstructive post.

...What ? We're both villains after all, and Evil is NOT one happy family.

Scorpion · « **Reply #17 on:** November 08, 2011, 05:05:33 PM »

I knew you'd do that.

On topic part I was gonna put in my first post:
You've actually got quite a tight chassis there BTW, try and keep your chassis as tight around your components on any other robots you make in the future, it saves a surprisingly large amount of weight.

Zygoth · « **Reply #18 on:** November 09, 2011, 11:30:45 AM »

hey guys thnx for the tips, but i think i can build a bod pretty good
like this to start with

i only want to know how to make a ai bot
hope you guys like this aswell

BACK ON TOPIC
it really needs all of the batteries as counter weight of the front legs.
besides, this way you can jump for an long time.

cephalopod · « **Reply #19 on:** November 09, 2011, 11:34:07 AM »

The last one - Whaaaa? XD
The first one uses square extenders - don't use them, they weight more and for no extra benefit. (They have the same hp as the black/red ones).

As for AIing, there's a decent chart to give you a little insight here - https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/8459AI-Chart-2.3.rar
