Oh, I did something different. I attached it to a skirt hinge, and then angled the skirt hinge to where it needed to be. Your way's more weight-efficient, though.
Yeah I wanted to avoid using skirt hinges where possible, I love the new collision-less anchors and the fact that you can invert them, it lets you do so much more cool stuff

I made things. Generic things.



Also I like re-using chassis.

I meant enough batteries to fill the amp requirements, your motors are fine
you have 20 and need 30, I'd recommend an extra duracel if at all possible but you will have to sacrifice some stuff so it's your call. They will spin much faster with 30(+) amps, trust me. You may want to try ditching the skirt on the back and just using anchors, it won't save you much but any little bit helps.

I like the vs. And yes, reusing chassis is handy.

Flip the end around so it lies flush with the ground. Also, plastic 10 is quite heavy if you can find a better use for the weight.

Can't believe I missed that, cheers.

I'll see if I can downgrade and add some cool wheelguards or something.

I'd also try to make the wedges a bit longer too if I were you, it looks like it has a really hard time getting under things

I think the main problem is that it tends to lean back, although longer wedges would help that. I kept the wedges short because I think it looks nicer.

Alright so I've decided to do a kind of challenge, where I make 1 bot of every type (that is listed on the RA2 wiki). Hopefully you guys can share some specific tips for each bot type.

First off; the popup (obviously)



I wanted to focus on speed so it could get to HS and SnS before they had time to spin up, and so this should compensate for the weak armour. The weapons are pretty underwhelming, but if you win the wedge war it doesn't really matter. Luckily the wedges pre pretty great. Oh, and it's slightly underpowered, but it doesn't make much of a difference at all.

Yeah I kinda thought that too, but the top blades don't do a huge amount of damage, I might actually remove them and see how it goes, since more damage on the burst is sorely needed.

Edit: tried it out, the damage increase was barely noticeable and the wedges became terrible. Reverted.

if you're going to bum rush an HS you may want to try a plow on the front with its higher fracture.
I'm worried about it having a hard time self-righting compounded with its high speed, is this an issue?
