IMO LRA2 shouldn't be an example.

The only Example IT is of is a potential Darwin award.

@ R0B0SH4RK: Thanks! Any ideas on how to make it a better popup?

You don't want to underpower a burst weapon (popups, hammers, flippers). Get battlepacks.

And the front armor is better in the vertical pic.

Better?

R1885 · « **Reply #65 on:** June 30, 2009, 01:28:15 PM »

I like it.

Battery setup is good, but armor setup is messy.

You can either put a 30kg Ti sheet on the top skirt hinge, or follow Slashback's wedge setup and get stronger chassis armor.

Remember - plastic and metal skirts are great choices for defense.

So, like this?

And what can I do with the remaining 8 kilos?

Reier · « **Reply #68 on:** June 30, 2009, 03:24:12 PM »

<3 x a big number
I built something like that a while back, it's in my sig.

Naryar · « **Reply #69 on:** June 30, 2009, 03:30:06 PM »

Not bad at all.

You don't need skirts that heavy/tough for your wedge because they are flat against the ground and will most likely take minimal damage, and i find little use to rear armor on popups... as you have enough turnspeed to face your opponent at all times.

@ Reier: Thanks, I just realized it does look kind of like Zapper now.

@ Naryar: OK, but I now have 45 kilos left over. I can't think of what to improve. :?

The Ounce · « **Reply #71 on:** July 01, 2009, 08:08:30 PM »

This is what it looks like now:

Any suggestions for what to do with the leftover weight?

takatsukiyayoi · « **Reply #72 on:** July 01, 2009, 08:51:30 PM »

Chassis armor perhaps?

The Ounce · « **Reply #73 on:** July 02, 2009, 01:12:23 AM »

Taka, read Naryar's posts in the previous page.

Adding battery always helps. Makes the swing more powerful. More weight in front will give you a better wedge. instead of one big sheet, could you do, say, two ramplates? i think thats better.

Do you mean that it's actually GOOD to widely overpower popups ?

I remember Inf saying something along these lines for his Magikk, but i didn't get it at the time.

Yes. It keeps the bursts at max for longer. You never want slow bursts on a popup.

The Ounce · « **Reply #77 on:** July 02, 2009, 03:35:40 PM »

I had no other options, so I decided to take Sage's advice:

7 ant batts and 2 battlepacks. 5mm Titanium.

Hooray for battery and armor overkill!

takatsukiyayoi · « **Reply #78 on:** July 02, 2009, 03:36:32 PM »

It ain't ever overkill if there are burst motors!

EDIT: There is no kill like overkill!

Naryar · « **Reply #79 on:** July 02, 2009, 03:42:31 PM »

Sweet bot.

6 razors on a Mag Snapper is a lot to me, though.

EDIT: Off topic, but i LOVE this website Taka.
