The Insanity Factor's Miscellanious Pieces of Random Shit

This is my first bot. Don't flame me. If you're going to flame anyone for a crap job, blame Rudi.

If I'm perfectly honest, swearing offends me. But I can cope with it.

Anyway:

First things first, keep the drive aligned and symmetrical.

Get rid of any unneccessary chassis space, it just wastes weight.

Battleaxes are inefficient, weak and only do damage on the edges. I suggest putting a row of extenders and then some razors/iron spikes on them. Get Rudi to show you.

What armour does it use?

1) Fair dos, Rudi said it'd be fine like that
2) Likewise to number 1
3) Rudi says it was okay...
4) No clue. Rudi told me not to pick one

Good for 4). DSA (The cheaty armour you get without picking any armour weighs the same as aluminium but is stronger than steel.

If this bot is just casual, then feel free to keep it how it is. If you're lookig to try and optimise this into a killer, I suggest you follow my advice in the previous post

I only build bots to fit in on GTM.

If I ever make something serious, then I might try, but never before then.

i just said it was ok then to get you a working robot. follow G.K. for now. i can still help to get you further but, i don't see myself as such an average builder. look at the last mega-vulcan from my old bots. it has a bit of fancy extender work. FBS magnet 3 has something you could try and copy.

just practise well.

Probably won't make another one.

I'm too busy

I've made quite a few bots now, mostly Middleweight, but I'll probably not post them.

and now I never use weapons with normals. Which I think restricts me to spike bots and pokers.
:3

well, you are wrong with the last bit. not using weapons with normals is good but that doesn't restrickt you to just rammers and pokers.
you can still make any kind of bot with them. also, flippers don't require offensive weaponry at all. just a good wedge.

Normals are ok in some places. And you shouldn't be restricted either to those types.

Things without normals...

Iron Spike
Razor Tip
That zigzag spike thingy
Mace... thingy (I think)

The rest, as far as I am aware, have normals.

But I might make Upside-down-round-and-round a flipper

we shall see what it becomes.

HELIFAPPER IS HERE!

YUYUKO HAS A Z-TEK IN HER MOUTH!

you probably already got enough tips on GTM. just going to throw in the standard one here. it's underweight.

nice picture though =D
