A two-wheeled bot should have two-thirds of the weight of the robot on the drive wheels - see page 46 of the Riobots Combat Tutorial. ![]() The thing is essentially a custom Peter Bar kit running brushed drive and 2 ar500 weapon bars.įPPE looks a little nose-heavy with a full-width plow and the beater bar well out in front of the drive wheels. I've been working on a new custom bot which (if parts come in on time) I'm hoping to have built by around mid December, giving me time to prepare for the NHRL January New Bots event. My question for you is, do you have any tips for getting more comfortable in driving? Obviously I understand that nothing beats actual time in the box but I would like to know if there is a good way for me to prepare and familiarize myself with my own robot better. I spent quite a bit of time driving the thing around but was still struggling to control it properly. ![]() One thing I noticed at the event was that my driving was a little subpar, I was able to survive but I struggled to stay aggressive, I wasn't comfortable enough with my own robot to be able to confidently get hits, even in fights I was winning. I was pretty happy with it! 2-2 with only losses to "Jamo" isn't bad! My knowledge in the world of robots has since increased immensely, and I recently competed at my second ever event with my FingerTech Beater Bar 'Flying Purple People Eater' at the August 2023 NHRL Event.
