My first pop up
DSA, 2 blacks, 20 razors

Don't attach images, use the "Add image to post" link just above the typing box.

Good job at keeping the blades facing out, but it would be best to align them with the extenders with the eFFe glitch (remove the small wedges first). You also need 3 blacks for 4 spin motors and 4 DDTs if you decide to keep it that way, but 20 razors is way too much on a popup, try 8-12 or just use 2 weapon DDTs (which will require only 2 blacks). Make the chassis wedge shallower (maybe 3 or 4 squares pulled back on step 2 of chassis design) and add frontal protection in the form of ramplates, casters, or something else with the extra weight.

Wedges should also be a bit wider; in this case you'd put them up front outside of the DDTs.

Not bad, atleast you know how to axle load.
however, you went a bit overboard on drive, 4 or 6 or those z-teks will be good enough for the drive and then you can focus on more weaponry.

Moar drive.

Good job learning Axle Loading, though. It can really help you save space with bots such as popups, when you need quite a big chassis to fit everything in. Squae extenders, though, are exactly the same as Round Extenders, only heavier. So they're a waste of weight, effectively. If you watch carefully when you rotate a component, it jumps, instead of rotating smoothly. Each jump is 10 degrees, so you need it to "jump" nine times to turn it at a right angle to where it was.

i know that square extenders have same stats only heavier, but i couldnt fit the round ones in any angle so i put the square ones.
i know too that 10 wheels is overkill in drive but i wanted to see the fastest bot that i can create.

That first popup is DAMN good for someone who calls himself a n00b...

Reminds me of an Aw I made a few years ago. Looks good, not a stock sub-weight expert so I'll let these guys tell you other stuff.

Sweet, a newbie who can build pretty well.

Hercules · « **Reply #11 on:** December 31, 2011, 12:17:01 PM »

Last bot from today, MW HS
1 Black, DSA, 12 Maces

Sage · « **Reply #12 on:** December 31, 2011, 12:27:11 PM »

Nice! on the MW HS, you might want to switch the drive so that the wheels are all the way in the back. This puts more pressure on the plow and hopefully gives a little more protection against wedges. Also, if you could find a way to make it invertible (can drive upside down) that would help it's performance.

Hercules · « **Reply #13 on:** January 01, 2012, 01:43:07 PM »

LW, 9 razors, DSA

Mr. AS · « **Reply #14 on:** January 01, 2012, 01:47:00 PM »

are those red extenders 40cm?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 01, 2012, 03:18:19 PM »

No, those are very clearly 20 cm.

Because he totally attached three useless red extenders there just for the

of it. >.>

Seems more probable that he used 40cm extenders to attach the third razor on each tribar end but half of them all is covered by the 20cm black ones.

Hercules · « **Reply #17 on:** January 01, 2012, 07:12:30 PM »

No...
each end has 3 20 cm blacks attached using eFFe, the red extenders are to make Sage go MAD cause they are completly uselles and RED

Hercules · « **Reply #18 on:** January 01, 2012, 08:15:32 PM »

O_O
POST SOMETHING LOL IF U R COMPLETLY SHOKED

PD:this bot will make Naryar go FFFFFFUUUUU cause underweight

Hercules · « **Reply #19 on:** January 01, 2012, 09:14:12 PM »

TP

I think that everybody knows that i learned to BFE the height (only the height)so the nightmare of LWs
