Enturon looks excellent. I take it the long chassis on Hunter is due to the razors intersecting. AW Flail SnS looks very nice, I tried something similar, and it havoked to kingdom come.

The chassis is long on Hunter to add stability (tipping) without having to use weight-eating extenders. The SnS did havok until I made the chassis large enough to act as a stabilizer.

They all look really good. Is Rinzler fast enough?

Generally. Fast rammers can and do box rush him though.

Very nice, especially like the BW VS, how often does the SnS get stopped?

Enough to occasionally lose a match, particularly against rammers. Fortunately he hits pretty hard, so the opponent has to stop and kill him quick.

Been working on a better version of my MW Flail SnS, and came up with this:

Quadrapus is an MW Flail SnS with 20 flail razors powered by two NPC Fasts with technos. The razors are attached to angled hexpates, which gives the weapons more coverage and makes it harder for the extenders to be hit. Quadrapus spins faster than Tripus, and has more weapons, so it's a win-win situation.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Looks kinda like mine.... but ALOT better.

It been a while. I have decided to freshen things up a bit with an LW Popup:

Pretty much your standard Popup, except for the Firestorm flipper which is is great armor with 10,000 HP for only 10kg. This allowed me to get NPC Normals with two hinge wedges, which perform pretty well.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Nice bot but

IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS HOW THE FF IS SLANTED

MassimoV · « **Reply #849 on:** April 05, 2012, 06:54:28 PM »

Yeah besides being crooked, it looks pretty awesome.

Yeah it bothers me too, but due to the bizarre position of the attachment point and component itself, that was about as level as I could get it.

Interesting use of the FF. Since it's slanted, and with the collision mesh of the component, how often do opponents get trapped between it and the main wedges?

Surprisingly enough, almost never. I too was concerned about that, but it might have been avoided due to the odd collision mesh of the Firestorm Flipper.

Blasphemous, ain't it? :P

Picking up the pace here with an MW upscale of my previous popup:

Got two NPC Fasts, six razors with green snappers, nine ant batteries, and two Firestorm Flippers for defense. It's probably my best MW popup, with a very damaging attack, and good (but not great) wedges.

As always, and comments would be appreciated. :D

PS: Just realized I could use the extra weight to upgrade my poly extenders, so don't mention it. :P

Very nice! Maybe a skin would be nice? :P

Interesting build. I wouldn't have gone for exposed motors, personally, they look a bit suspect, especially when combined with the wedges reliability. It looks like the chassis could be shrunk a bit, that would give you some weight to spend elsewhere.

Naryar · « **Reply #858 on:** April 06, 2012, 03:20:25 PM »

You can do a bit better with extender work.

Other than completely redoing the chassis, I fail to see how that would be possible.

@NFX: The exposed motors have never been a problem (they have higher HP than the chassis does), though I am considering possibly shortening the chassis so I can connect the motors directly to the mini extender.
