I'd originally got 4 ramplates, 2 stacked into each other, but it left me 4kg short for sufficient wedge length. Hence longer wedges, casters and blades instead. Couldn't really lose 4kg anywhere, even off the chassis.

That said, as the wedges are static, I could mount them on SII instead, make the chassis shorter, stack the CB into the blacks and save weight there... maybe.

Current tentative BTTB bot, Cutting Cold.

6 irons (Which are surprisingly damaging), 2 blacks.

Separate srimech is hilariously useless.

That's because you only need one side for that kind of srimech :P

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #303 on:** June 23, 2015, 07:51:06 AM »

Surely the dual srimech just pushes it up not over?
Like pwn said, just 1 side would do.

It's so weak it doesn't even do that. :P

I'm going to readjust the setup so both snappers move the same way.

Re-jigged the srimech:

What to do with weight?

Reier · « **Reply #306 on:** June 23, 2015, 09:51:45 AM »

hehehe the srimech was pretty useless on the original too

dude why the hell would you even DO a srimech like th- oh, you changed it

probably gonna be pretty dangerous.

Was just thinking about the symmetry of the robot when making the srimech. Not thinking about the practicality :P

Reier · « **Reply #309 on:** June 23, 2015, 01:21:28 PM »

ah bro you should swap the bracket for ram plates like the crappy original
or spike strips cause I think it had those

edit:

G.K. · « **Reply #310 on:** June 23, 2015, 01:24:21 PM »

aaagh that means changing the splash. But I should, to be accurate...

090901 · « **Reply #311 on:** June 23, 2015, 05:01:21 PM »

do you really need 2 blue snappers?

G.K. · « **Reply #312 on:** June 23, 2015, 05:27:32 PM »

No, but tbh I wouldn't do much with the weight saved. I'd have to have a bit more extender work and then all I'd really be able to do is put blades on the wedges, which I intentionally chose to not do on this bot.

I'm not after perfection with this anyhow. Don't want to win my own tournament.

Reier · « **Reply #313 on:** June 23, 2015, 06:15:27 PM »

its ok because influenza is already perfection

G.K. · « **Reply #314 on:** June 23, 2015, 06:23:32 PM »

Well, it's turned out to have pretty good wedges, I don't really want to change it.

Did my first ASAS stack - not that it should be impressive to anybody else - an SII in a black:

Then made a LW HS:

The problem with this is that it's too compact. Child's Play IV can hit around the ramplate and take of the RAD's. Looks like plows are better used in this bot type. Downgrading would give me another 4kg of extenders (and I've currently got another 20cm on there doing nothing but taking up weight so it's actually 6kg) to try and use to get the drive to be a bit wider. Any thoughts? Alternately I could go down the weapon breaker route?

Also, I'm not sure if the RAD's being attached with the axles inward is a problem or not - should I be looking to swap them around?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #316 on:** June 25, 2015, 12:14:15 PM »

I'd go with the wider RAD setup, and yes I believe a plow would be better.

At least with the RAD axles outward your weapons would be getting hit before your motors

I wouldn't normally post fails but this is so stupid I thought you could laugh at my expense:

It would have been such a nice bot if I'd made a correct chassis too, but instead everything just knocking off my DDT's
