You could make the chassis slightly longer so that the RADs can fit just around the snapper. You'll still save weight overall. The chassis can also be lower (just up to the black's height). If you can't stack the control board into the black, learn how to load out the snapper's axle and the control board should fit above it.

As for what you could do with the spare weight, I'm unsure if it would become overweight but a set of casters under the RADs would help as armor.

Yeah that's as good as it gets. Very nice work on maximizing the weight.

The game engine's limited by the rule of 7, meaning that you can't chain more than 7 components in a row. You can optimize the setup by ditching the 20cm that's holding the T connector.

Slowly getting there. Keep in mind that this design only requires 1 black battery. Also, if you don't care about radial symmetry, you can mount those motors on just one snapper.

The drive can be attached to the extender through another extender, saving 4kg total. Try to stack the CB into the black, shrink the chassis further and you'll have enough weight for all maces/irons.

I thought the Rebirth topic was your latest showcase. Either way, I've also unlocked your other showcase.

Welcome back, man.

That's very inefficient. An extender has 4 attachment points. Sticking it to a snapper already uses one. That's 2 free APs for your HPZs and another in case you want to put some defensive components or more weapons.

Everything can be mounted on 2 snappers. Not quite sure what the front snapper's for, but if you want to place weapon breakers or plows, those can be attached through the rear snappers.

Axle -> 40cm extender -> T-extender -> motor

That's generally the setup when the chained motor is a Z-Tek/HPZ. IIRC a redbird chain only uses 2 20cm extenders.

Yeah that's pretty much the best you can make out of an unbursted 9HS. The SnS would probably work better with static motors for more stability. Still pretty nice.

wow you actually planned it on paper

You could just go for it and see if you could pull it off. In general those designs don't really work that well in stock because extenders are hella fragile and 4WD RAD drive is a waste of weight. Maybe it would work in DSL 2.2?

As for the VS, this type of design desperately needs wedges. Either use Snapper II wedges, or you could probably just make your chassis wedges shallower. 3 pinks also aren't enough to properly power the HPZs. Rebuild the chassis to accommodate a Supervolt and that's pretty much it. Weapon setup isn't exactly weight-efficient but I guess it gives the bot some flavor.

The gap from New Hampshire (94%) right now is less than a thousand. Anyone who voted for Harambe, Cthulhu, Zoidberg, Goku, or Sonic could have given her just even the much-needed 4 points. The gap in Michigan is around 15k. The gap in Wisconsin is less than 30k. The gap in Pennsylvania is less than 70k. That's 50 points that could have swung the election around.

TBH I still have no idea how Hillary failed to win Florida and Ohio. Not sure if felons were allowed to vote in those states but whatever.

But then again, if a man whose credentials only consist of bankruptcies and WrestleMania appearances can be president, I guess I can immediately apply for a dream job at Steam or something.

For this, it is who is the lesser of two evils.  Racist person or giant liar?  But if Sanders was in, he would of won by a long shot.

IMO it's a bit more complicated than that. I always thought of it as a sexist and xenophobic sun-dried tomato with no prior political experience versus a shady and flip-flopping former senator and secretary-of-state with more than a decade of service under her belt. You can't really reason with thin-skinned racist asshats in the Tornado Alley so I'm laying all of the blame on the protest voters on the swing states. More than 10,000 woke up, had breakfast, got dressed, went out, stood in line, then voted for ****ing Harambe. dae dank maymays grab her by the pussy crooked hillary xD

My country recently elected a tactless Putin-idolizing mother****er who waged a costly war on drugs and wants to give a hero's burial to one of the world's worst dictators. I wanted to get out of the country to pursue a master's degree, but I guess America just crossed itself out of my options.

What's the weight difference between plastic and DSA? I would suggest taper the front part of the chassis to the anchor's width and swap the axes for irons. Quite unsure if that's enough for DSA but I guess you could keep swapping weapons until you hit the weight limit.

Still a pretty nice work overall.

It's probably better to have a row of static irons be the top rack and the razors on the bottom one. The snapper still has an unused arm, so you could dump the static stuff there.

That probably wouldn't solve the wedge problem, though.

I've always wondered if a double-Ztek chain is faster than a boosted HPZ. Personally I'd turn the drive around unless you want the wheels to soak up hits meant for the chassis or something.

Don't worry. Your showcase will be here. Posts will only be removed if they violate forum rules.

As for the bot, stick to the weight limit. BWs are considered to be 175 kg while LWs are 249 kg.

Aside from that, not sure if you have noticed but it's possible to stack pinks into the control board, so you can put the drive around the batteries instead of behind it. Improves steering and probably lightens your bot. Weapon choice is fine, although axes are pretty rare as irons or maces are almost always better.

Decent build overall, keep it up.
