Here's a classic example of a what a good popup can look like:

okay so i had a somewhat fail attempt at making a pop up.. my question is should i keep it the way it is in the first picture without the 4 zteks, cause its kind of hard to control with them.

or keep the 4 zteks

my other question is should i just take some stuff out to make room,take it down to a middle weight, or just rebuild the whole chasis. or is there anything you guys recommend i put in it to build to the max weight. thanks in advance!
Must have 4 z-tek drive
Then you should add more weapons.Must have 4 z-tek drive
No, it doesn't. It still depends on how you want a VS to concentrate on. 2WD is fine if you just want it to hit hard.

It would be better to put the weapon motors on one blue snapper than two green snappers if you want them bursted.
Decent bots, try stacking the batteries next time, and probably work on your extender setup a little bit. You can still minimize a little bit more space out of the bot.
It is just a case of trial and error, unfortunately. Sometimes they stack, sometimes they don't. I've found myself resizing a chassis up to five times just to get the blacks to stack.
Inception 2 looks good, though I wonder where all the weight is. Most VS's like that can have 4WD no problem. And getting under NWB is awesome.
Fatal Emergency doesn't really have a good setup... at all. It's almost always better to just attach the drive motors to the baseplate on popups. If you use Snapper II's for the drive you want to go for a super flat, super compact design. Also you should use either two wedges, or one really long one. One short wedge is all but useless in the HW class because most bots have two and will get around it.
This guy's never met Venko.
Those spike strips aren't helping much, might be wise to replace them with a ramplate, & then you would have weight for a second supervolt
Juggler still looks like NWB, just with a different chassis :)
UMMM and the popup is decent but could use more armor. Also, use razor tips, not iron spikes.
needs another black.
If you want setups distant from NWB's, try cloning these:

:D
If you look closely, both bots have drive and weapon setups in Snapper IIs. Those have 2 attachment points instead of one.
I can't show you the insides of the 2nd bot since it's not mine (it's Sage's), but here's the setup for the first bot:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/1067apophysisinternals.png)
As you can see, the visible arm holds the weapon motor while the hidden AP (the one with a grey square on its side) holds the drive and the plow (removed).
Lol
You'll get used to it once you try it. :P
Whoops. I BFE'd the height of one of the snappers for ease of viewing. Each snapper holds 3 HPZs (2 for drive, 1 for weapons) and a plow.Definitely not.... lol. well heres just wasted 1 hour... and yes that's the bots name -.-
Attaching the drive on the invisible attachment point is easy. Through snapper loading though, I was able to attach the weapon HPZ on the visible arm and the plow on the drive setup. Get it? :D
why does that remind me of a certain clickbeetle bot? :rolleyes:
cloning/copying won't get you many comments, I suggest you try things you don't see in showcases instead of things you do see as you will get more interest... that is why Click is so popular :P
The chassis can be made smaller, have the wheels sicking out completely by moving the sides in. Try to stack the batts as well. But this is a good bot none the less.

Actually that first version is not very much like Deathwatch Queen at all... the only similarity is the iron spikes on Y connectors, and the 2 HPZ + 2 normal Z-tek drive. It's just that pretty much all dual-disc stock HW VS's look alike.
Also, you should give it a bit bigger chassis so you can get 4WD in there.
so i came up with a pop-up/VS hybrid. wasn't sure if anybody else had made one like it.

If you're strictly talking about popup/VS hybrids, I built one before:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/91791stengah.PNG)
But if you're talking about the interchangeable tactics it has, then you're probably the first one. :)
Yup. If you want to build the ultimate bot, your chassis has to be tiiiiiiiiiiiight.^This^
somebody had a avatar (i think it was squirrel's) of a bot called Heavens WindmillSomebody doesn't have MY avatar but YAY I INSPIRED A BOT!
You're getting better, Cheese. One word of advice: Grannies usually make your wedges worse and are heavier than shinies so try to use shinies more often.Yea on the hammer/vs there wasnt enough height to raise the zteks up so the disk wont touch the ground and turn the bot around when it was turned on, so i had to put the wedges lower, at first i did have all 4 shinies but with the wedges as low as they were only the back ones would work, so i just used grannies.
lol im sure you know what i meansomebody had a avatar (i think it was squirrel's) of a bot called Heavens WindmillSomebody doesn't have MY avatar but YAY I INSPIRED A BOT!
J = Armadillo, not Pysc.
Also, wedges are usually not as good when the chassis is small and everything is mounted on bursts. Just FYI.
Wow. Amazing!
Wow. Amazing!
is that sarcasm D:?

No, I really mean it! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
LOL same chassis, as always. >.>

EDIT; never mind..saw your showcase and i ate my words :[
I'm not seeing why you need that long single wedge when you already have two other wedges.Add to it, its always broken off in all the battle shots.
Then redraw the chassis.
Then redraw the chassis.
Why must you do this to me :(
Definitely try to get 4WD on this, but solid showcase so far Cheese. Keep it up.
@Newest robot: Why did you put the samauri blades at the start of the DDTs?
They work better if you mount them on the ends along with the edges.
36 HS anybody :gawe:Wait, 36 spikes for the weapons? O,o
36 HS anybody :gawe:Wait, 36 spikes for the weapons? O,o
And what J was trying to say was that you should start the blades right behind the small wedges, so there isn't any space for them to hit the extenders.ah i see. i thought he meant samurai blades as in one of the AI components lol
Dude, bad extender setup for the weapons. Use both AP on the 2nd 20cm going down, instead of putting another one on connected to the first 20cm. Then shave the chassis a bit and you should be able to put all irons/maces on.
Wish I could do that. Rule of 7 and AGOD's always kill me when I try to make one of those. :Pwhat do you mean EFFE the extenders..?
Just EFFE the extenders for the maces on each other so the extender holding them on is less exposed. Otherwise looks good to me.
Looks okay. What's with the white spaces in the botlab?didnt mean to take a pic of the Paint lab, so i just took out the texture pics and stuff from the picture
Instead of attaching your hammers onto the baseplate, put them on 0-degree anchors so it can reach further without having to extend the arms.
Use 2-3 blacks and 2 wedges. Better and makes it more stable.
i lost all my bots.... and now i have builders block..

? that part doesnt rhyme?
Back on topic, please !All my bots expect the one I just showed are on a different harddrive that i don't have atm
Losing all of my bots happened TWICE to me... and I had more than yours :P
You might want to backup your game in compressed form (RAR, ZIP, etc) sometimes so you have something in case of critical game failure.
What happened exactly ?

Can't you copy ur bots?
You can copy them from ur teams folder
