do you realy battle other bots because i think that you should battle you would win.

[michiel123456789]

No, All Of My Friends Don't Like K'nex (And/Or Battle Bots). But I Really Would Like To Battle Other Bots

[tincanz]

what are the weapons???

[brammeke11]

 Where does that virtual motor come from?
I dont find it in my directorie

[michiel123456789]

first of all, srry that i let you w8 so long but i was a bit busy.

If you mean where you can find 'the virtual motor' in mlcad knex, the answer is nowhere. Its just a snapshot (=picture) of a knex motor. Same way with all the other parts on this page.

[magnierk]

that front spike thing seems a bit...dirty

[michiel123456789]

what do you mean???

[magnierk]

i can't really put my finger on it, just something to do with the way it moves

[michiel123456789]

I Know But I Couldn't Get A Better 'Spike' On It, I Tried It Already With A Very Small Pencil And Some Tape But That Doesn't Works Well.

[CuddlesMcT]

try sharpening the rod XD

[bounty1012]

More like a poke-bot xD

[Hiyadudez]

[michiel123456789]

It Works Well For Me. Anybody Else Have Trouble???

[Oblivitus]

Please post a link to the site that you downloaded this version of mlcad from, my version doesn't have as many parts.

[michiel123456789]

Ok Here IT Is

http://www.instructables.com/files/orig/FN5/UF46/XP2EXCFBNA3/FN5UF46XP2EXCFBNA3.zip

You Just Download It And Then Extract It To Your Desktop.

I'll Also Post The Link On My Instructable.

[Oblivitus]

I didn't see any new parts, how did you get gears and motors on yours?

[michiel123456789]

I Just Wrote Down Near The Picture That You Have To Add Such Components. I Don't Know How To Add Gears And Motors, Just Written Down Near The Picture.

[Oblivitus]

Thank you very much.

[Awesome-aniac]

I applaud the fact that this is an ACTUAL INSTRUCTABLE and not just a slide show. Way to do it right!

[michiel123456789]

Thank-you

[KnexMaster7000]

100% i totally agree. im getting pretty fricken sick of everyone posting slideshows and those annoying ipod stands. nobody cares

[Shadowman39]

Wow, that looks very cool. I've never seen one of these made out of Knex before.
