This topic has not been posted in about 790 days and screw it now I'll break the combo.
Today I thought I'll show you guys what I was going to enter in the GTM tournament but did not.
Beware this is what it was before I the first complete design which ended up being deleted hence the weight.
Saigo Ni - Meaning the last time.
DSA, 1 Black, I know underweight
I tried to pick up where I left off last time I built which was designing a MW spin motor popup which you can see an earlier design of from a few posts earlier in the thread. I remember what made a good stock robot such as the likes of having a compact as possible chassis and not using ballasts etc. Having went for about eight razors for this design and the bot moving along stably with weapon motors running I thought I was on the verge of creating a tournament-worthy robot.
There was a problem and that was wedges. I was using dual green Snappers for the robot along with rubbers but no matter how much I tried it did not go underneath most robots. Adjusting the angle of the wedges and even rebuilding the bot didn't help. In the end I decided not to enter because I wanted my first attempt back at RA2 to be a great one and so I wanted to have built something I wanted personally to be proud of. I wanted to have people here forget the way I was back at my starting days.
tl;dr: I didn't enter because I couldn't build something that represented me having matured as an RA2 builder and a person in general.
