With the new found power of snapperII attachment points, I decided to remake this bot.


Should i stack the black, or should i do something else with the weight?

One thing you could try is switching out the ramplates for plows. Plows are wider and 4kg lighter, which is handy against any wide bots like HS and SnS (although some people are starting to limit or ban SnS, especially the ones with Melty Brain driving). With this extra weight, you could move the VS motors to anchors--I recommend this because I have found that snappers generally aren't that good for VS. After that, the bot will still most likely weigh under 770kg, leaving enough weight left to stack another black in there. Even though one black will power 6 spin motors for three minutes, two blacks will power 6 spin motors for three minutes with minimal decrease in power by the end. This is the principle that 36HS have followed, and continue to follow, and most likely will follow until the inevitable and fire-laden death of the planet on which we live (but enough about electing Donald Trump).
Follow me on Twitter? I'd like to see you try!

Nah snappers work fine for VS if you use them right. You could probably just use 1 blue snapper to mount all the weapon motors if you put one in the middle. I would personally just use 3 irons per tribar because then you don't have fragile weapons (razors) and because you don't have super weak extenders holding the weapons. Right now you could just use a nifty along with the black to save more weight. With the weight saved you can add something to increase of the stability of the bot.

Give it a wedge or two. Also, you don't need to put ramplates on the side hammer arms. The weapons should double as protection.

How stable is it? Does it fall over when you turn?

It is surprisingly stable and will only really flip over if flipped or it spins in place for about 7-8 rotations. The wheels seem to "bounce" when the spinners are started though.
I'm considering changing out the irons for moar razorz but i'm not sure if that would be a good idea.

Well looky here! I've not been consumed by the memes of the chatbox.  I saw on Silverfish's showcase a psyclone popup challenge so i gave it a go.  I'm pretty happy with it but the only thing that really erks me is the not centered wedge, but i cant shave off any more weight.

two of them are effed inside each other because of where the extenders have to go with my funky-yet-functional extender setup. Dunno if they still both hit or no though.




Just for clarification.

I believe this is a juggler/popup hybrid.  I seems to get under a lot of things and rips them apart.  However the popup range and wasted weight are sin and need to be fixed, but i can't wrap my head
around what to do.




Edit: Just realized all the pics have the hitbox graphs on them.

I'm currently making something like this, but you beat me to it, pah.

Should definitely have 4WD imo, that'll eat up a lot of your extra weight.

Gave it 4wd and took some razors off the ddt.  Gave it frontal armor and changed 2 maces to irons.
Both weapons have improved reach

If you test it out, you'll probably find that the damage output is low. "extended reach" on popups (especially true popups) lowers the damage by a ton, and the juggler weapon has the damage of a LW.

I was testing it on Starcore and it seemed to do 2-3x the damage that it was doing.  Before, the DDT would kinda lazily fire, and then retract without ever hitting anything, unless all the weapons had been ripped off.  But how can I get the maximum reach without sacrificing damage?
