To what?

[lewisantweight]

i was gonna say parts that other people use but i am buying 2 gimsons , a battery and an esc for 100 from billy other than that i dont think i have much left to get.

[lewisantweight]

I am making a thwacbot and i was thinking of how to make it more offensive. any ideas?

[Max]

Add spikes? Apart from mthst I think you should just try to keep it simple for your first bot.

[lewisantweight]

i will add spikes, when i was designing it i went crazy and put a drill on the plow in the design but that was a stupid idea.

[archie2000]

a drill will have very little effect on a fw

[lewisantweight]

i havn't had much luck getting parts for my robot and the parts i am getting are not suitable for a thwack bot so i am redesighning. Fortunately i haven't done armour or a chasis yet , just got the internal parts, so i can change my design. Any suggestions?

i cant think now i cant do my original design. :| :|

[harry hills]

just to clarify, what parts are you using?
most designs can be tweeked to fit parts.

[lewisantweight]

the gimsons and wheels and esc and battery from billy and a technobots transmitter/ reciever the wheels are 100mm and wouldn't work on a thwack i was thinking a crusher but i dont know how and i couldn't use pneumatics because of price. One with a disk like hypnodisk but i am not sure if their legal in a normal tournament.

the lipo battery :shock: ?
spinners won't run ant normal live events, only at robochallange
btw, the saturn radio sets are pretty aweful. the 25 quid giant cod ones are better.
