Love the wheel skin.

Duck skins aside, it looks alright. I've never been a fan of putting drive on the baseplate like that. Do you realize how much weight it uses compared to putting it all on a snapper?
You only need 2 blacks. 1600 total imput from drive + 2 DDTs = 1600 total output from 2 blacks. You could put an extra pink in there to be safe but I wouldn't really recommend it.
Are those 4 plows on the front? I'm feeling really doubtful that you managed to stack snowplows like that.

Duck skins aside,

excuse me my ducks are fab
Yeah, I could have saved lots of weight by putting it all on a snapper, I have an idea actually for my next bot
It's only 2 plows, the plan was to kill everything on the initial box rush. I could remove a black and add more armour

Really? well then me and you are opposites. I find that baseplate drive helps out it numerous ways. First, the wedges tend to be better because of more pressure from the weight of the robot (I could be wrong here but I think if something is put on a snapper, that weight is on the axle and not the baseplate. That's why Snapper loading, AGOD, and axle loading all happen). Also a bigger baseplate means more health of your robot. Wasted weight is not "wasted" its just not as apparent.

yeah and bots built on the baseplate tend to be more stable than bots built on snappers. you also don't have to worry about goofy s*** like agod ruining your whole bot

What? I've never gotten severe AGOD on a popup (or on anything except VS and maybe some RAD spinners), but yet I eFFe and axle load the hell out of them. Probably because I abuse the pause button while effeing.

A bigger chassis also = a bigger target to hit.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #993 on:** May 26, 2014, 04:35:01 PM »

but a wider chassis = easier time to pick up HS
I've always preferred popups like that anyway.. oh well. I have absolutely no inspiration, any ideas?

But harder to flank, plus less likely to leave you without drive. Against an HS I'd call that a worthwhile trade.

0909403294302968320598623095872430962345 forced me to build bots for his tourney
I'm sorry for this

Mallard Mania.
And then I found out that the arena had low walls..

CANETON RAPIDE OUI OUI
yes that's 5WD
yes it can drive straight
yes that's a duck
quack.

edit: also no problem for your bot skin, nary :^)

1 black with anchors stacked inside

Wasn't sure if it needed a black so I dropped to a nifty and built:

added a couple of weapon breakers. could lower the motor but I'm lazy

and a mw version:

(yes it uses the first chassis, I'm lazy)
Chained weapon motors. Was going to add more weapons but lolno rule of 7

Drive using a sawblade... now that's a technique I haven't seen in a long time.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #998 on:** June 13, 2014, 06:01:54 AM »

Sawblade? Where? sage r u ok :P
