Is it me, or is there something odd about where these extenders have been put?

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.

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?
