find a way to get a wedge and a decent trapping setup. switch to razors and possibly downgrade the weapon motors if needed, adding more weapons is pointless on a FS like this

Z-tek weapon motors. Frogot to include them in the shot.

This is apparently to 09-sama's great standards.

I'm a bit sad that FS pistons aren't usable in the metagame. Spinner From the Levante had so much hope behind it.



it havok'd so badly that resetting the garage could not bring the robot back. Action cam in a test garage would have been lovely for this.

That makes it perfect for BBEAMS.

Also, nice FS
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

Looks pretty solid. The efficiencyfag in me is saying that using a snapper to mount 1 component is wasteful, and that you should mount the ztek on a ba, but that would make it super vulnerable. Maybe downgrade to a nifty and put the drive on the snapper, should give you a smaller chassis and more weight for sh**, as well as invertibility. You can also learn to stack a nifty in a cb


Edit:
For the rammer, those pointy tips are a massive waste of weight

it's on a snapper for snapper boosting. putting the drive on the snapper won't give you much more weight as the z-tek is currently directly attached to the snapper and you would probably need more in kgs of extender work than chassis to make it work.

Personally I don't mind the black. I guess downgrading to a nifty would give you 2 casters, but with that setup invertibility's still an issue.

As for the rammer, if you could stack the CB into the nifty, you could shrink the chassis a bit more and get the weight for an extra pair of axes rather than pointy tips.

no idea what the iron is doing here, you should attach it to the other snapper AP to make a weapon-breaker

the motor is on the other ap which pretty much explains the chassis height and stuff

a mace would probably be better against hammers but it hurts its lack of invertibility even more

The HS's height is equal to a nifty. I can lower it, remove the Iron, and get casters with my weight. I'm also brainstorming a nifty version.

Mod one is done and I'll be starting the nifty mod tomorrow.

As for that rammer I had...

Cool to see a newer member building stock.

Is the weapon motor the only thing on that snapper? If so, maybe consider replacing the snapper with a BA and adding more weapons (maybe remove the casters too if it allows you to get an extra mace or claw per tribar arm, for example)

They aren't. The snapper has been moved to show the insides.

I find a quote I like and use it for about a week.

I happen to have a bot just like that.

Pinks are stacked.

You should focus on making your HS invertible. Look at Tempus Fugit's setup if you need to. I'm also not a fan of the pinks on the first HS personally, I think you're better off going for a nifty. I can't see if if CB and nifty are stacked in the 2nd HS, but if not then you really should, especially as it allows you to lower the chassis height so you can get invertibility with shinies.

Will do. The CB is stacked on #2. Just in a weird way I found by chance.
