The first one is done.
I think wide is good, it helps it spin faster which is important for SnS Crawlers. You can get it spinning faster by upgrading the motors, and it also happens that tribars work much better than discs since they are less exposed and keep the chassis further off the ground. Put those two changes together and I think it'll be much improved

I can't help but feel that 1 HP-Z with 4 irons would be preferable. Interesting bot though, is it any good in combat? Hows the battery life?
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

So I just build a 36-HS and kinda forgot about the whole stacking thing. Oh and I got BW Tribar Crawler. I'll get those two bots showcased and start work on a servo crawler tonight.

Done!

Around 174.5


It tips over easily so I've put two razors on each disc. Not enough weight for all maces.


Hears the 36hs that forgot to pack it's second battery.

You should be able to rework your extender setup to free up enough weight for DSA if you get rid of some of those angle connecters and maybe use the 140 cm square extenders for your stabilizers, though they might be too exposed.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

I will try that later.

Should I remove 60 KGs and call her a cruiserweight or give her more defense and/or drive?

Nice and i like the chained motors. 1 supervolt? You can get 2 in via stacking and add some more irons on the discs by the time you've done those two things you'll have a nifty HW oh and is it stable

CWs aren't really a thing outside of DSL IRL. I think it needs more everything, and that extender setup is pretty messy.

I made a HW wedgy VS (with a deweaponing rack) a while ago, if you want to see what your options are.

Use a 40cm extender off an anchor (You will probably have to change the degree of it) to attach the first HPZ, then for your chain just use a 20cm. (You'll have to axle load the next HPZs on). Then you can do a drum like setup on the discs that should protect  your motors then. Snowplows would probably work better than ramplates too for protecting it as well.

Axle loading...
So should I put the motors discs on each side? Or put the weaponry on one side first?

Not sure if that's the most efficient way to build a popup, but I like it. You have some weight left, so MOAR RAZORS

*insert "ZOMGs NEVA POST ALOTTA BAWTS!" meme here*

Upgraded two robots with 140s.



I have slightly improved the popup.



I also built a poker/hammer hybrid.

i would move the drive motors up on the hammer. also on the VS, shouldn't you be able to attach an extender to the bottom of one of the extenders there, and then attach the 140 to that? you don't need the angler there afaik

It's MAD Scientist's birthday. I've chosen to build a couple of trinity freaks. I've only got one done so far.


It can win against Mini Dolsa II.
