I really like it, but the extenderwork for the plow setup is hella janky

Quote from: Pwnator on November 08, 2018, 06:21:02 PM

If the plow thing's what you're actually trying to achieve, then you probably just want to tweak your new wedge setup. Rotate the extenders holding the snapper so the snappers are pointing towards the back, then build your plow setup from the ends of those extenders. Should be just enough for a top plow or bracket wedge.

Yeah it's pretty bad I agree, might abandon it altogether in favour of something else I haven't thought of yet

The HPZ attaches to the diagonal 60cm extender, which there's a 20cm on the other side of to attach the snapper to, and the 140cms attach to different anchors at the top. Definitely been a little constrictive with my thinking and I'll likely come back to it fully when I'm better at building. Moving on for now though, lessons learned

why are the components transparent?

Decided to just cheat and use ra2cf to get the exostack I wanted

And then realised it was impossible anyway

In other news, I'm bad at building tallbois

Yes there's a cb poking out of the side I got lazy and didn't switch clients

that's uhhh interesting

i'd suggest you download ASAI and take a look at Re\/olution, its basically this but better.

hell yeah flails in stock

Redalert · « **Reply #225 on:** December 13, 2018, 07:07:59 AM »

That thing will either kill popups quick, or popups will kill you quick. I like the idea of flails.

hi i just invented a new robot type!!1!

I call it the Axle Reaction Spike Emitter!

It drives really fast into the opponent and then it makes them hit the bracket wedge and then the axel spins and then the spikes hit the other robots on their exposed bottom side and then it does it over and over and then the other robot dies!

Pwnator · « **Reply #227 on:** December 13, 2018, 09:34:21 AM »

The reason the setup works on whatever Click made (Ludicrous Speed? I can't recall) is because on the limited freedom on its axle. With 90 degrees you can guarantee that the weapon will return to its position but with a freely spinning axle you'll probably have to move back and forth to nudge the weapon back.

whoa this might be even better than wandering spinners

nice acronym btw

Game on! We'll fight them.

I like your new bot type. That's really creative.

It doesn't work

This showcase makes me want to do more Stock builds.

...and it doesn't work? Try adding more weight or a longer arm...

Lost the world cup so I got really drunk and channeled my emotions into something dumb

It's awful, overweight and I think the razor rupts sometimes it's so funny

Ludicrous Speed was one of my favourite robots back in the day, used to open up DSL just to cock around with it. Was definitely my inspiration, but it's too hard to replicate in other ways without limited-motion axles

Yeah, try a nifty and a round extender instead of square extenders.

Yeah sure let me just underpower my burstmotor and add extra unnecessary weight on a robot I don't even remember building for the most part

Behind Bars is one of my popups that uses a nifty to power a DDT. It gets plenty of shots out of it, so... it works...
Keep is as it is, if you want to... it's your bot...and i don't want to boss anyone around...

Badnik96 · « **Reply #235 on:** December 18, 2018, 12:11:51 AM »

can you try to squeeze in a blue snapper for the wedge?

Redalert · « **Reply #236 on:** December 18, 2018, 11:03:33 AM »

Honestly, blue snappers aren't bad for popup wedges. If you angle them just right, they can be seriously effective. The shorter the setup, the better.

I'd recommend DDTs, because they pin wedges down with excessive force.

a ddt wedge is beyond a a waste of weight at lw level

you need to stop giving bad advice to people who are more experienced than you

I know you're all more experienced than I am.
...but I learned this from trying it out in RA2.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #239 on:** December 18, 2018, 03:31:05 PM »

lw popups dont need good wedges anyway because very few other lws actually have a burst wedge

please stop posting in other peoples' showcases until you know what youre doing
