Looks similar to one of my bots... Nice build though. Except the wedges probably suck. Cause they're on red extenders.

Miles...no...LEAGUES better than the original. Probably your best to date.

Nary is right with the casters....you should work on doing a better job of spacing them out, and probably use one less on each side. When I use casters...I place them 2,4,6,8,and 9 notches up (I think). Some sort of pattern like that. There should be at least 2 notches raised between each caster layer. Removing a caster on each side allows you to at least substitute 4 of those outer razors for irons.

This one is more of a personal preference. You should try substituting those top trapping plows for something else. As Nightcracker recently mentioned, snowplows really don't do a great job of "trapping". Samurai Swords, or Bracket wedges, might be better options.

Gah, I don't believe this...rubbers and DDTs and it still doesn't get under Neglected Waterbug. Does fine vs. RPB though. I'll continue to experiment with DDT start positions for a wedge that beats NWB...

I tried Bracket Wedges at first (as you can tell by the red chassis to match the colour scheme), but bots still flew over them so I switched to swords. Somehow veers left when driving even when the spinners aren't active. Casters at 3, 4, 6, and 8 notches up. (a caster still passes through the chassis at 2 notches, inf :P) 8 is the maximum height, btw.

Put the wheels on again if it veers. It has to do with weight imbalance when the wheels were placed. Also, this is honestly the worst bot I have ever seen.

Face the blades the other way, and do something with them. Having them be absolutely vertical will not do much trapping.

Oh, they are any more HS bait than snowplows or brackets in the same place madman? Oh right, thought so (;

They are clarly a larger target, but I think the fact they can snag HS weapons and stop them is an exellent payoff.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

Half the time, Sage's red snapper fetish confuses me because only half the robots that use all red snappers he says "are terrible" because of it.

Swords tilted forward 3 notches from 90 degrees, which in testing was the best angle against RPB. I don't really want to use bracket wedges because they can't be angled as far due to their shorter height and bots fly over them as previously mentioned.

The wedge is weird; it loses to NWB when I go at full speed from the very beginning of the match, but gets under if I go slow at first and then charge at a medium speed (out of context thread, here I come). Maybe I'll rebuild it with Snapper2 wedges and/or the Snapper IIs somewhere in front of the drive.

I would like one of these "red snappers". :O

...That's because Snapper2's are actually the best, NOT DDTs (we need to make this official people)...


But your wedges are set way too far beneath the chassis as is. A shallower angle will give you better results.


I like it. Now skin it, and make it look good.

No, YOU'RE crazy for using Snapper IIs on a popup!



First one to guess how many razors it has gets a cookie! :D

Edit: Good job Mr. AwesumSauce. :P 8 razors, 1 black, DSA, etc. etc.

The wedge is good (for Snapper IIs), while the weapon motors are pretty slow, and even slower to retract...but far from useless.

After trying every wedge angle possible pixel by pixel, it was the best wedge. Here's a better camera angle for reference; maybe the previous screenshot makes it look steeper than it really is:

6?
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

4 Razors. =D

I'd advise using one DDT in place of two SnapperII's, personally.

Nah, same number as a Pysc popup. Don't think one DDT can hold all that. :P (plus, two Snapper IIs weigh 4 kg less than a DDT)

Okay I'm sure your minds were all blown by that SnapperII popup I posted before so here's some generic stuff to calm you down:





Well, maybe not that generic...THEY'VE GOT EXOSTACKED CASTERS WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT ASDGFHDJKGHAOIGAVOSJBO
