GuldenFlame makes a huge mistake.
« on: March 29, 2017, 11:03:23 PM »
Trying to join stock...  this'll go well.  :dumb)
I'm basically starting with a downward spinner. (Sounds like how I started DSL, though)

Entered into CrapCan Derby.  Baby's First Pop-Up?
I have several opinions.

now that's something different

i like the concept behind it, i really do. it's super narrow and vulnerable to HS though, so i'm not sure how well it would do in a tournament. You'd probably be better off with a second black battery instead of those wheelguards, iirc most mw popups have 2 blacks

Those "Wheel Guards" were more for Picking the bot off the ground.  The fact they are wheel guards was totally accidental.
And the second Black, I have yet to make fit.  I'll have to stack it otherwise.

Anyway, this was made purely to counter Pop-Ups and feared HS inside outside and upsidedown.

oh i see what you mean there. you could probably swap those out with some sort of v-shaped plow setup for some added width and help against hs
