2 HPZ is fairly standard for MW rammers, 2 snappers and that abysmal extender work seems like wasted weight, though.
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.

i feel like you could clean up the drive setup a bit, but i'm not entirely sure how. you definitely don't need either t extender at least

No T connectors? I'm guessing a "No T's" poker requires multiple pistons. I'll think about the drive tomorrow.

Those look... nice.
Though it looks like the HS is underpowered.

And are the DDTs really necessary?
Anyway, good job!

hammer looks too small and unstable. the mace seems like a waste when you couls get 2 140cms on the rear or longer wedges

razors are trash for HS as is that extenser setup for holding on your weapons

why did you use a t connector like that on the vs... it's just begging to get its entire drive and stabilizers taken out in one hit. just use two anchors like you did on the mace hs.

The hammer looks pretty cool, but that mace is a total waste of weight. Remove it and use the weight for longer wedges or an extra razor.

For the VS, you can just offset the anchor and just use extenders, or use 2 anchors like VB suggested. And that T connector that's holding the ramplates is gonna die so fast.

Overall I think you need to focus on poor extender work. Your bots are solid but you're using too many T connectors and wasting a lot of weight on unnecessary stuff.
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

I try not to use Green snappers on any weapon setups heavier than 20kgs.

The DDTs are fine. You should ditch the mace for other stuff though, like longer arms and wedges.

Modified the hammer, everything is longer. The best part? He's still single.

He can handstand like nobody's business. Ladies?

I built components around an old chassis and it shows.

You don't need that many razors, use some weight to make the wedges longer and the chassis shallower. You can also save some weight by combining the drive to occupy the same section of the chassis since weight is based on surface area.

If you actually want to try making a popup with armour stronger than DSA, try playing with the chassis of Backyard Ripper (DS Titanium) or Razor (DS Steel).
