Adding battery always helps. Makes the swing more powerful. More weight in front will give you a better wedge. instead of one big sheet, could you do, say, two ramplates? i think thats better.

I\'m putting it on filefactory right now. I\'ll find more places later for more options.
EDIT: File Factory Failed. Trying SteekR, then looking for more.
EDIT2: heres the link to a file factory upload that i think works...
EDIT3: Nope filefactory failed again.

Getting better every post. Razors do more damage (according to pyscolone) if they are turned the other way (flat side facing up).

Just seems really messy to me. Probably could have stacked the batts.

Just FYI robo, you made an amazing bot.

Look, tankcat. I have your bot as well, and I can tell you it has nowhere near the mobility a 36HS really needs. The wheels are too far below the chassis and too close together.
I can accept how you feel, but there's no reason Inf would have a need to cheat. You got beaten. Are you too stubborn to realize that you have been beaten, or do you accept it and you are just trying to be an ass?
Build a better one.

I'm not sure if it matters.
Then I'm not sure if I can give this test credibility.

I decided to do some necromancy and bring the thread from the grave. And for one of the most discussed topics in RA2, what makes a good wedge? Clicks tested for pressure, but I want to test this, does wedges extenders as a anchor for armor make it more wedgey? To test this, I made to identical bots:
Bot A has its snow plows on base plate anchors.
Bot B has its snow plows on its wedge extenders.
Like Click, I used the Small arena for testing, this is how the first match went:
The results were overwhelming. Bot A got under Bot B 100% of the time. There is some cases were its uncertain who got under who, Bot A clearly got under bot B a majority of the matches.
The lesson is clear, use wedge extenders as armor mounts, and your wedges will suffer.
Myth Busted. Sorry mate, but there are some variables you didn't take into account. For one, having two baseplate anchors in the front of your chassis with plows attached to them adds (in this case) 44 kgs. Weight attached to the chassis will dramatically increase wedge effectiveness... which is why bots with castor fronts have such good wedges most of the time. The second thing is that the plows are not exactly in the same place. What you really tested was: "Will a bot with 44kgs on the front end of the chassis get under a bot with 40kgs on the wedge, and with the weight shifted farther back?" Perhaps try a test with weight on the wedges and no weight on the wedges, see what gets under what. even then, it might not be fair.

Never, ever attach armor on a wedge extender. Why?

YAY.

Yea but they suck IMO. Will redo with much cooler skins.

How about reskinned razor tips? ooohhh a challenge. I'll see what i can do.

OMG YOU DID NOT JUST DO THAT.
I was working on a bot in stock with the same EXACT idea. God damn it.

Very good first impression. I'll be sure to finish the skin pack for ya :P

I think there should be a new way to self right.
For example, if i had a bot with wheels on the botttom, then i couldn't move when i was flipped. The new way to self right would be able to attach a flipper or piston motor to lift the roof up so we can get back on our wheels. Noobiest thing i have seen in a VERY long time.

Oh and Ribbs even if it's not on snappers... it's still on burst motors, that means it wobbles slightly, and this lowers the wedginess compared to a bot with drive directly attached to the baseplate.
Ask Sage.
Depends on the bot. Most of the time, I much prefer baseplate attached drive for my popups and hammers, but in other cases wedges can be good even if attached to a burst. But only in some cases.

Well, he released the BBEANS4 music after it was done, he'll probably do it again.
And Sage, it'll have the battle clash sounds in the backround, so that won't work. ah, true.
