Went for the popup first since I liked it more:  I used multiple extenders for the wedges and added the Emergency wedge as a catcher thingy. I also downgraded to only 3 razors, it seems to do about the same damage as it did with 5. How do I get smartzones in stock?

Well... I don't really know how that happened, but I'll certainly take it! Also, all the video titles say "Elimintator" rather than "Eliminator".

Wow, unexpected. I think knocking the VS bits off early was what did it. And the flippers claim another victim. I really appreciate how quickly you're getting these episodes out. Thanks!

Well, doesn't look like a great matchup for 2OG going into the next round. Then again, it's a rammer, so there isn't much that would be considered a good matchup for it.

Did you get my update to Red Shift?

I think you pulled the popup off better. Try using several 20cms on the wedges of the VS instead of one long extender. The wedges will be longer for the same weight.
Will do. I don't see why you aren't using the other APs on the disc, then you only need 4 extenders which will save you 8kgs into make the wedges longer.
They point the wrong way. For the VS, I'd recommend spinning the motor counterclockwise a little, it protects the motor better AND allows the use of more attachment points.
For the pop-up, you need something to keep other bots from flying over, a few spikes or an extension of the upper wedge will keep bots in a prime position to gut rip. You might also want to think about switching to rubbers to improve the wedges further.
Will try.

Uh, qualifier 2 says I built Keznar.
After it did so badly, I was hoping to get away with someone else being credited for the design. Oh well.

New robot for y'all. This one comes in two flavors. VS, which is what I set out to make originally:  (I need to shorten those front chassis wedges...) And a popup, which I threw together because I could:  (That's 5 razors stacked together there.) Which of these designs, if either, should I pursue?

I know I've entered this blindly. But really, I'm just looking for a bit of fun, what's wrong with that? I know I'm not the best at Stock but being honest all this is making me want to never bother with it, I'm considering deleting this thread anyway as my heart just isn't into it.
Hey, don't give up. If you're not feeling it right now, just take a break or something. My showcase has plenty of sizable gaps in it. Anyway, try not to get too down.

I swapped out two of those extenders for aluminum ones because, hey, I had the weight. And just for Naryar:

It's a stock tournament, so I'll enter. Also, what the hell is a "Frenchieweight" anyway?
I have no idea but I voted for it anyway

Also why it is called red shift ? Considering it is moving TOWARDS the enemy bot, the radiation emitted by it should be shorter, and by doppler effect it should be BLUE shift.
It's called Red Shift because my friend is on a FIRST robotics team called Redshift and I thought it sounded cool. EDIT: Changed stuff:

More weapons might have been a good idea. Instead, I got bored and put fun colors on it:
