The weight of a SnapperII isn't worth mounting two drive motors on a popup, just put them on the baseplate. It would be good to use it for mounting a wedge, however

Good. Use multiple 20cm extenders for the wedge since they each have the same health as a long one, add a battery (which one depends on how much you want and if you're willing to rebuild), and use two 20cm extenders on each DDT to get your three razors. You'll need the eFFe glitch if you don't know it yet. And...how long did that skin take to make?

Reverse Reverse!
Okay, so maybe there's an Atbash thrown in and/or you want the Caesar shift to be 3 letters in the other direction?
Um, no.
What...didn't you say Atbash was part of it here?
Using the same logic for as the King's Quest 1 Ifnkovhgroghprm puzzle, the answer is "L/R/VW/Y/C/VT/F/UX/O"
That's part one, and it is wrong.

Edit: Should I give a Cryptic code on how to solve the Cryptic Code? If yes, then I will not change my profile pic

Time is up.

You can still guess it though, but answer coming tommorow.
I didn't even get a chance to work on it today!

Anyway, I technically solved the faulty puzzle; it came out to one word based on decryptions that made sense. I thought about working with 3x3 matrices today since there are 9 characters, but it's not as satisfying anymore
You know what, time is up tommorow. I am a kind person.
Well now I'm mad because I have to dedicate time to it again. Can you provide a hint? When you said I did a step wrong it was referring to something other than ignoring the B, right? That wasn't really a legitimate error.

Amateurs, I'll show you how it's done.

Because Why not?

O/I/ED/B/X/EG/U/FC/L

Based on a numeric substitution cipher, we get 15/9/54/2/24/57/21/63/12. Note that all numbers except 2 are divisible by 3, so do that and exclude the 2, leaving 5/3/18/8/19/7/21/4. Decrypting this back gives ECRHSGUD which doesn't anagram to anything. However, remembering that the number 3 seems to hold some importance, decrypting this based on a Caesar cipher with key 3 gives BZOEPDRA, rearranging to ZebraPod, the new portable music listening device from Gabriel Interactive.

You are actually the closest so far.

Also, it seems like I have a small error in my code.
It should be O/I/ED/C/X/EG/U/FC/L instead of O/I/ED/B/X/EG/U/FC/L. I knew I messed up somewhere. You also missed a step, and did a step wrong. But you are close.
What the hell...that is nowhere near a small error, no wonder no one got it on page 1!

The first one is done.
I think wide is good, it helps it spin faster which is important for SnS Crawlers. You can get it spinning faster by upgrading the motors, and it also happens that tribars work much better than discs since they are less exposed and keep the chassis further off the ground. Put those two changes together and I think it'll be much improved

Looks decent, but with LWs you really have to maximize your chassis efficiency since it makes up a more significant part of your total weight. As we've mentioned, you should go for a black and DSA like Child's Play IV; it'll be a clone or almost one but that's just what happens when Stock's been out for 10 years and you only have 250 kg to work with. I would definitely move the drive motors back so they are right beside the battery and for the front setup there are a few ways to do it. ACAMS used just one anchor, I have one with three anchors, etc.

I couldnt do as SM said for the extender but as for the razors...
(Image removed from quote.)
I might make a guide on how to do this
Yes! That looks great, you can still rotate the left DDT so it swings closer to the centre and make the weapon setup more compact, but these are just small things. Use the extra weight to make the front wider (you only have to drag the front two points to the side).

Something else to think about is the length of your burst wedge; remember that if a single-wedge popup faces a double-wedge popup head-on, whichever one's wedge(s) is longer wins. Just don't make it so long that you lose your ability to turn and face the enemy.

Okay i'll do what you said but with the 2 batts the ddts don't even care about the 5 razors so yeah
Burst motors only get stronger with battery power up to a certain point; once they reach their limit they can only handle so much weight.

New bot looks very clean, nice job. Still needs another Nifty like you had before, or if you don't think the chassis space is worth it you can get by with squeezing in one or two purple batteries (they're really easy to stack). You can get some more weight by using Shinies and removing the blade, it's not very helpful on a wedge that short. Rubber wheels can *potentially* make it wedgier, but if it's unproven in testing then they serve no purpose. Use the weight to make the wedge even shallower and wider - it really is that important in Stock. And rotate your DDTs so the razors are in the middle.

Getting better, but the 5th razors are unnecessary because the weight causes the DDTs to slow down; 3 or 4 is optimal. Use the extra weight from that as well as narrowing the back end of the chassis by rotating the black to make the chassis wedge bigger. For the powered wedge, it's best to just experiment because it seems to depend on weight distribution rather than the type of motor; DDTs just happen to be the heaviest but they should be about equal to a SnapperII with more components shifted towards the front. I like the original setup you had, though if it doesn't work well just forget it.

Doesn't look bad at all, but 3 DDTs should have a black and Nifty at the bare minimum. If you want to beat HS I would also make the wedge much shallower and wider.

Some advice from when I built this bot...with 6WD and nothing to trap opponents on top, it just ends up being a really fast wedgebot that keeps driving under the opponent. If you do make it more of a juggler-type, I'd also adjust the jugglers because 4 maces just end up forming a flat surface which is not great for the FS part of the disc.
