You're probably better off with stronger wedge and weaker plows. Invest the kg into a double wedge system. There's no point of having a popup if you can't wedge someone.

What he said, and use multi-extenders instead of anchors. Better yet, place the JXes inside the chassis. Which means, you have to rebuild the chassis again (always have a small chassis unless it needs a big chassis for stability).

I know, i was expecting people to say "WTF?" about it, i build much better popups in stock anyway, so no DSL popups from me for a while

Anyway, i've built a possible entry for CC3, this is Mad Cow

Power: 2 Battlepacks and 1 ant batt
Weapon motor: Perm 132

EDIT: Insides

Mount the drive onto the baseplate instead. You have the space and that gives you extra weight.

Is that a popup, because it looks more like a hammer.
And what kind of armour does it have.

Titanium 1.

It's sort of a short hammer.

Hammers need a trap and not a big wedge. A rectangular chassis is often the best chassis in DSL, so it's gonna need some rebuilding. Also, your skirt wedges are not centered. Remove them and use 1 or 2 metal hinge wedges instead. Cut the empty space from the drive, use a blue control board and upgrade the armor using the extra weight.

Not neccesarily true !

And hammers with wedges like this fail.

Foine. Fixed it. XD

Anyway, hammers usually use a trapper so bots can't break the arms when they go up the wedge (see what happened to Epic Flailure).

Functionally speaking, 1 long DSL bar will be more durable than multiple parts.

You might also want to consider using angled skirts on the 2 sides to cover your chassis a bit.

Use hypno wheels instead of those for more grip.
