Isn't the point of mythbusters to ask a question then answer it? That's not a question.
the myth is that it's ALWAYS better to use a flat surface instead of a right angle.

You could save 0.4 kg on your first bot by using a chassis with 6 points on the baseplate instead of 8. It wouldn't make it any more original, though.
I actually don't think this is true. Sure you are removing surface area on the sides, but you are also adding surface area on the top and bottom.
MYTHBUSTERS TIME So going off the rule that RA2 uses surface area instead of volume to calculate weight, here's the equation for a right angle or a single side:  So, mathematically, there IS a point where changing it to a single surface instead of a right angle actually costs more weight. This is more to start a discussion than to actually break a myth, so if anyone has any input let me know. I'm thinking that the actual most efficient way to do corners like that is somewhere between the right angle and the flat surface.

Sweet bots. The anti-popup HS is a pretty common DSL design, cool to see it in stock.
Actually? I thought it was pretty innovative by Venko. I must not spend much time in the DSL section

It's got 4 Blacks, do I need more?
oh... hm. no idea then! EDIT: try attaching the E-wedges directly to the 60cm extenders.

You need more battery I believe.

Well done! Splash is cool, albeit a little dark.

I seriously hope this isn't the "underground" wedge thing that was completely banned in DSL 2 years ago.
Of course instead of red extenders, you use either typhoon flag or t-minus arm in DSL.
It's not. These red extenders are just missing half of their collision mesh. Nothing underground, just technically more difficult to break them because you can't hit them.

Ha, thanks. I thought I'd be rustier. Surprised I still had snapper loading skills.
Sage - Thanks man. Think you need to update your avatar though. You have to have graduated by now.
yea and got through my first year of college...

Very nicely done. I love your new splash style too.

Dope setup.

for warship, if you offset the snapper a little and use 20cms for "T" connectors instead of actual t connectors and get rid of the caster you can def get HPZs for drive. Otherwise everything else looks snazzy as

You used those? I found them a long time ago and couldnt think of a good use. Are they effective?

What's wrecktangle??
I have to say, if I'm unaware of the robot I doubt it is that memorable.
