The bot looks very nice and clean.. aside from the weapon system

O and when using the anchor to attach the green snappers just put the anchor right against the wall, than snapper glitch the blue snappers so you will be able to attach the greens without those extenders

The anchors are already against the wall, the extenders are there just to make the wedge length exactly the same. I had some trouble doing it without an extender.

Well if you just use another extender on the snapper reaching outward the burst will be less exposed.

Here's my entry for Inf's tourney. It took forever to get it to be a MW. Airtight.

The airtight statement is false.

But I'm happy to see you're not naming it Murken2!

:S It seemed pretty compact to me, unless your talking about the height.

you can move the snappers inwards, axle glitch the arms off, place the snapper2, and then bring the arms back.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

Some of you guys are going to hate me for this but whatever. I sent this bot for the new Starcore pack to replace NWB. I sent it because it has better wedges. Starcore is testing it right now.

It's only like 2 cm closer, not much at all. If anything, having a better wedge surpasses a weapon that's slightly closer together, which also gives the motors protection in the chassis.

Much better than the first Sequoia Throne. More stable, better weaponry, and also castor armored. I highly doubt I can shed another 1.9 kg's for Slipper Bottoms. Also the first bot I created which uses the snapper loading glitch.

Well I was going to remove a castor since one of them was making it a little tipsy, but I fixed that by moving the HPZs downward just a bit so that castor wouldn't touch the ground.

It's alright I guess. Definitely not one of my favorite bots.

Do you honestly think 40757 would use custom components on this ??
