KingDominoIII Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Robot parts are very bendy. I've tried autostrut, rigid attachment, etc., but no luck. Any ideas on fixes? Any time I put pressure beyond a ton on a robot part they flex like crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But more to the point: I didn't get the impression that robotic parts are much less rigid than the normal parts. Except in the direction that they are supposed to bend. 12 hours ago, KingDominoIII said: Any ideas on fixes? Well, you can use autostruts on the non-robotic parts and lock the robotic parts. The latter allows autostrus to go across a robotic part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajburges Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 You will get improved structural integrity if you attach things via nodes instead of surface attachment. Still bendy, but a marginal improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce Wolf Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I tried using pistons for a heavy rover's wheels to adjust it's height. It was a dissaster. No amounts of autostruts accomplished anything, and normal struts lock the pistons making them useless. Using a pair of pistons instead of one made it stronger, but I still ditched the whole design for being unrealiable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the servo lock on a robotic part is engaged then autostruts can traverse the part., making the vessel much more rigid and sturdy when used appropriately.

traisjames Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) I got a wildly floppy one. It is supposed to be a deployable crane. Works with Vanilla but AGExt has a lock/unlock motor on/off grouping for the drives and for the arms. Use the dock to separate the fuel tank that the crane is suppose to place it straight up instead of on it's side. Good luck. Make sure no crash damage and unbreakable parts is turnned on. https://www.dropbox.com/s/54oihsyqknht9zc/Heavy Mover Mk I.craft?dl=0 Edited October 4, 2019 by traisjames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper_83 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Here is a good picture of a week bendy part. Its the part it self that is week not the connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
