Use small wedges over emergency wedges, they are superior in every way

Usually, this is true, but sometimes I have found emergency wedges better. Depends on the wedge. I would recommend testing out both if you actually care. :P

Show me a video of you getting under NWB with an emergency wedge and I'll believe you
Change the wheels to rubbers to improve wedging ability

Snapper 2 burst motors mounted perpendicular to the chassis produces the best wedges with the longest extenders.
You'll be able to win against HS more often if you put some armor on the front.
It's better to have 3-4 razors on fewer burst motors than to have 4 burst motors with 1 razor on them, you'll have a lot more weight to use. In fact, you can just put another 2 or 3 razors on each burst motor you have now and your offensive potential will last longer since you have more weapons.
You can stack the black batteries to save space, that way you can lower the chassis height.
Not using glitches is equally unfair. Against you.QuoteYou can stack the black batteries to save space, that way you can lower the chassis height.
I tried to stack batteries then gave up after 15 minutes, I didn't managed to do it. I also don't feel doing it is fair. While I think the lack of self collisions is intentional. The stacking, effes and axle loading glitches are probably not intended by the devs. It's almost like hacking the game and turning off collision detection altogether when building.
Rubber wheels are 5 units heavier than shiny wheels, also I'm using the wedge for wedging, not the chassis.
Also rubbers made me get stuck on the slightest ramp on any non-flat arena. Not good...

You see, as long as the bot's near the weight limit it won't really matter what burst motor you use, in this game the only thing that really affects wedginess is the height of the burst motor relative to the wedge's current position, the flatter the better (Which is why Snapper2's seem like the best burst motor to use). However, if you put the burst motor back enough you can negate the height difference SnapperII/DDTs have and make a better wedge than if you slapped a Snapper2 on the front of the bot.QuoteSnapper 2 burst motors mounted perpendicular to the chassis produces the best wedges with the longest extenders.Other sources claim that DDTs produce better wedges.
QuoteYou'll be able to win against HS more often if you put some armor on the front.
Thought of that. 2 small ramplates fit on the top of the wedge better that nothing... But not all HS-es strike on the same level. Probably I won't have enough weight to cover the entire wedge with ram plates.
This is true about if, but the reason that so many glitches are allowed in stock is because look at the other packs. More components, more armor, more everything. If it weren't for glitches, stock would be a dead game. (and besides, they're fun sometimes too. :smile:) One of my friends once asked me "Why would you want to have a bot that one-shots everything? Where is the fun in that?" my reply was and is "Because it's necessary."I tried to stack batteries then gave up after 15 minutes, I didn't managed to do it. I also don't feel doing it is fair.

come to the ironforge camp that stuff is banned there :gawe:

You could put your 4 drive motors on the blue snappers
You see, as long as the bot's near the weight limit it won't really matter what burst motor you use
Ramplates are not the only protective item in this game, lawnmowers, snowplows, casters, and bracket wedges work too
You probably still won\t be able to win against robots like Mome Rath though, because that bot was specifically made to beat popups.
If your bot was controlled by the AI too I think it would get handled pretty easily =P

What about two? (https://youtu.be/qZf6TiZq0XI) (of course probably I will never be able to make an AI that can do this again.)
Good work on space management! Unfortunately, SnapperIIs (the blue bursts) usually make terrible wedges. You'll want to try to upgrade to Snapper2s (green and purple).
How many batteries are in the MW?

nah blue snapper wedges are fine if there's no extra stuff on them

I want none of this in a new member's showcase ! I'll be watching this thread, so behave.
And DG, please do not argue over RA2 with stock builders that have about five times your experience, thank you.
it does need a longer wedge though
and 1 black is a little on the low side for all the motors.
making the chassis wedge wider and more shallow would make it better against hs.
I wonder how is chassis damage calculated. It seems smaller chassis can handle less punishment. I going to experiment with wider skirt like chassis to see how it works.Yeah it is, the bigger the surface-area the more HP the bot has, and thus the heavier the bot is
You should be able to put all those weapons on one snapper2.
honestly you can ditch a wedge on a stock BW/LW popup
