Thread has been unlocked, and I'm allowing this to continue. I don't really feel that a tournament should go down the pan because of technical problems. Had the problems not occurred, this would now be completed. Same as 2L2Q2.

A) I've not had a great deal of time, and I've elected to do Stock when I did have time. Not really sure why.
B) Do the teams have to have a running theme, or can they sort of be anything you like? 670

Are there any bots left that I might be able to have a shot at? I'd be willing to have a try, if you guys reckon I'm at the right level.

If you Snapper Load the motors onto a SnapperII, rather than just attaching them straight to the baseplate, then that allows you to spend much less weight on the chassis, and leaves you more weight to add either weaponry or defenses. You would never be able to make a 36HS if everything was attached to the baseplate.

Sure. There's no internal shot, but you just need some Snapper practice and spatial awareness. Dark Void 2 in Dominator of Dragons is another example, if you want some contrasting designs for this sort of thing.

Rotate them so that the maces hit at the same time. You'll notice that the majority of 1WD LW HS, i.e. S_M's and mine, have an HPZ weapon motor and a RAD attached to a SnapperII. This sacrifices mobility, but allows for faster weaponry, a more compact setup, and a smaller chassis, leaving more weight for defense and attack.

Stock Showcases / Re: NFX.showcase/stock« on: July 14, 2012, 05:50:35 AM »So yesterday I saw this:insides? It's just a SnapperII at the front, and a Black + CB stacked at the back. Nothing too special. Snapper axle is pointing backwards, and it's all built off the secret AP. 3 20cms and 3 T connectors. I could perhaps find a more efficient way of attaching them to get HPZ drive, but I'm not too sure. Also, tweaked FS/Popup Hybrid. Really more of a Juggler/Popup hybrid now, though. ![]() Same internals as last time. Lost the ramplates on the front, and laid out the FS differently. This allowed me to get twice as many razors on, and let the popup weapons get involved much more often. Razors tend to go before the 20cms do, which is pretty much what I was going for with this layout. Slightly longer & better protected wedges with the weight I had left over. 680
