This isn't the hidden one we all know about, this seems to be a third point.

That is another attachment point on blue snappers.  I think it is the main way that the experts are able to make those amazing compact horizontal spinners in stock.

Personally, I hate that attachment point.  Whenever I make a bot and save it... the attachment point changes locations even if I dont rotate the snapper... therefore screwing up my bot.  I don't understand how some builders manage to use that connection point so efficiently.

Odd, I've never seen that point before.

SnapperIIs have 3 APs, one on the silver round part, one where the axle is obviously, and one where you were showing us.

Oh? Well it's a new one for me. I thought Pwnator was cheating in Terror Twisters by BFE'ing on a new AP. :P.

Think of it like this:

That secret AP acts like a servo. When you go garage and back, it will always return to its original position, which is shown by the little black square.

Hey thanks! I don't think I ever really noticed that pattern. I kept getting frustrated with it. :P  Your input is appreciated.



Shame shame G.K.  How could you possibly think that innocent, little, fuzzy, harmless Pwn would cheat?

its just the normal attachment point your normally use to mount it on the baseplate.

it must also be a generic male attachment point also
