yep, as are most popups :P

The wamming rack won't do much damage with a chassis angle like the one you currently have, I'd make the front longer so you have a small angle. Then I'd try mounting the razors on the ObZen style multi-extender setup.

Popups are realistic enough if they don't have their weapon system moving all the way through a certain component either vertically or horizontally. If you removed the wamming rack it would be realistic but that would kill all the originality of your bot.

Even by Popup standards, the realism is very low on this one. If you try to get a setup like the one below, then that'll cure the realism issues.

Notice how the extender for the popup weaponry goes between the two parts of the wamming rack, and doesn't fully intersect anything bar the skirt hinge.

it's gonna be quite hard having enough weapons whilst still being realistic. I might just leave out 2 razors somewhere on the rack and try a obzen setup for the weapons. but then i will have weight which i don't know what to use on :P (probably chassis armour, it's something like plastic 5 atm)

I'd actually also try and get the bot to be wider in terms of exterior armor so it can deal with Sns a little better.

That BW is awesome. Like the HW too.

ty4er · « **Reply #747 on:** January 14, 2012, 11:32:37 AM »

Finally finished the HW:

-Moved the weapon rack further to protect the extenders and changed the set-up for the rack (realistic now).
-ObZen-style weapon
-2 sheets instead of one for more protection, shallower wedge and it's now wider
-srimech works a bit better aswell
-more armour

Looking good. The JXs still look a little exposed. How does it fare in battle?

They have to get past the weapons first :P

And it actually does really well.

JX's have plenty of HP, so that isn't a problem.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #751 on:** January 15, 2012, 01:10:16 PM »

Ahh, ok. So how are the wedges?

ty4er · « **Reply #752 on:** January 15, 2012, 01:15:46 PM »

Rather good actually.

I could probably find the weight for wedge pieces but they'd be weak and wont have the best reach.

ty4er · « **Reply #753 on:** January 17, 2012, 01:23:38 PM »

Surprisingly good wedges, even if one is slightly agod'd. I don't know if i should move the poly sheets on top to under the wheels.

Very plain bot from you there xD

It originally had vlad wheels but it couldn't drive straight at all :P

I also need ideas for more bots.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #756 on:** January 17, 2012, 01:35:21 PM »

Looking good. Armour? Number of ants?

ty4er · « **Reply #757 on:** January 17, 2012, 01:36:15 PM »

Tite 1 and 12, it has plenty of bottom protection though.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #758 on:** January 17, 2012, 01:41:43 PM »

Hmm, tite 1... Would it be worth changing to plastic 3 or something similar? I, personally, would move the poly sheets to somewhere else so that they protect more.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #759 on:** January 17, 2012, 01:47:04 PM »

Small JXs I presume.
