Enacture is a Face Spinner / Juggler or whatever you want to call it. It's not clear but whatever it is it sure is effective :approve: It's designed to Scoop up the bot, and grind away the belly, kind of like NWB. The wedges had to be replaced with the light snappers since it couldn't handle the extra weight the green ones had. I had to compare the wedges side by side to see which one was most similar to my previous wedge setup. It's pretty much the same thing in my opinion as to the effectiveness of the wedges to the old setup I used.

Now that looks effective, does it preform really well?
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Yeah it's doing good so far. However, somtimes when it faces wedged bots, Enacture can get under without difficulty but the other bot will sometimes have its wedges trapped under the Z-Teks, but that can just be fixed by lowering the weapons.

The third, and probobly final upgrade to Vela. In Vela III, Vela is now Castor armored in the belly to stop pop-ups. Wheels are now hidden (it was despretly screaming for that). The first Vela is entered in bbeans 5 already. Oh, and now it's also invertible :D

It's impossible to get a 36 HS with Snowplows, Casters, and Grannies all in one, under 800 kgs.

Good 4 U. Does it have 4 HPZ weapons? And stack blacks and it'll be ok.

I think you misunderstood my post :S

I meant it's not possible to have a 36 weaponed HS with 2 snowplows, a full belly Castor Protection, 2 black batteries, Grannies, weapons either Maces, or Irons, and all motors HP - ZTek.

Oh and yes Reier, it's all HP and it has 2 blacks.

I'm guessing 796 is the weight? In which case I understand why you used axe heads instead of more irons.

But wouldn't razors be better?

Razors are too brittle and short. The razors probobly wouldn't get past the two Ramplates, but even if it did, I wouldn't use it because I want the weapons to attack at the same time. If I use razors, then they would be very short compared to the spikes and not hit all at once.

Not bad at all - just dump these ice picks, cause they have normals and they won't make damage placed like that.

Maybe swap them for irons on the unarmed attachment points on your disc ?

I acually don't agree. It looks nice that way. The Ice picks can cause damage, if the are tuned by a notch.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

only the point does damage, and the sides are whats hitting the bot.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.
