Right, 3 serious bots incoming:
Firstly, a companion to my old shallow MW popup
Gicquel, which totally isn't a knockoff of
Mr. AS' BW popup. This one has the first name of that football manager player, Gabin.
Took loads of snapper loading and an ASAS snapper/black stack. 20kg of ballast because I didn't have weight for another black and rubbers don't touch the ground. However, I can't really test it in fighting because like Clasiscally Trained Failure one of the weapon motors rupts... Anyone got any ideas for how to prevent this? Weapon snappers currently mounted on secret AP of wedge SII's.
Also I think the wedges are too long but I'll worry about that if I'm able to get the bot fighting.
Then, I downsized my LW rammer
Prod to a BW, meet Ickle Prod:
Obviously lack of weapons is the big downside, but I've sacrificed weapons for armour. Also, I can't really see any way of losing the .5kg I need for a 3rd mace instead of a 3rd pink - I can mount it on the SII's axle. Prolly should raise the casters by 1 click tho, they're the lower ones on the LW which I haven't moved even though they're the only casters on the BW.
Also made a second version of
Vertical Terrors:
This version is more damaging because of the focused weapons but that's about the only positive it has.
Compared to the other version, the wedges are ripped off more easily, the chassis is damaged more easily, the wheels are ripped off more easily and it's just less stable.
If anyone has any suggestions for its issues I'd be very greatful. Preferably they won't involve me having to do those ASAS Baseplate Anchor/DDT stacks again, which were horrible.
