Honestly, u seem to have a lot of empty space on pops v2 (more than what is needed) and most good(if not all) pop ups have wedges on snapper motors

With the chassis wedge being such a sharp angle, it kind ofmakes it hard to put anything inside the wedged area.

Here is my entry for Doomed Bots (if it gets approved). It is just basically something I had sitting around stock Team HQ that just needed a few tweeks.

Big Pops:

DSA
1 Supervolt, 2 Slims
HP Z-tek Drive
4 iron spikes on a burst

I'm proud of this bot, because it was the first bot I made with stacked batteries.

I know it is a bit under weight, but there wasn't much else I could do to it.

Looks ok but, use razor tips on popups as they do damage from all sides. Also You could try to save lots of weight on the chassis and removing the side armour and put in an extra DDT. Also I'd take out the pinks.

It needs a wedge attached to a snapper.
Overkill on the DDTs. Switch them to razors and remove some.
Lots of chassis space.

I thought iron spikes didn't have normals?

Static wedges= fail.

Four razors on a ddt is HEAVY.

*sigh* its 4 irons. with 2 razors. yes its heavy. But dont give him the idea that you can only have 2 razors on a DDT or its too heavy. You have no testing or experience to say such a thing.

4 razors on a ddt is fine.

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #89 on:** July 12, 2009, 05:44:09 PM »

Alright, how does it look now?

It is 30 kg light now, but there is nothing else I can do with it.

This is why I prefer DSL...

Use rubbers.

Move the Zteks further back and do not use pinks.

40757 · « **Reply #92 on:** July 12, 2009, 06:22:27 PM »

Make the green snapper stand up to get a better angle for the wedge (and to reduce the space it needs). Trim down on the chassis and maybe add a second DDT with 4 Razors on all the DDTs you have. If you still have extra space in the chassis, then make the wedge slightly longer.

that was said about my Pop Up in RODE but it one the first round (then again that match was void) but i was still getting under other bots :wink:

as for the bot if you keep the chassis much more basic you can be more space efficient.. example sloping the sides now you can get anything close to it yet if you had them straight you could have put 2 blacks in there if you really wanted (rather then the pinks)

I was going to enter a basic pop up into this tournament but it looks like half the bracket is also... I have a new design I have been playing around with but it borders on trinity glitch

I don't see any problems with it so yeah, its approved but try to keep improveing it. Congratz on the stack blacks ( I have yet to stack a black)

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #95 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:23:26 PM »

So, just about everyone else is building a popup? Crap.

I have a few other ideas in that case...

Doomkiller · « **Reply #96 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:25:15 PM »

Make a pop up killer. Should work lol

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #97 on:** August 13, 2009, 12:51:10 AM »

Well, it's time to dust off the showcase again. This time for my possible entries to RAW 2...

Approximately 398 kg each
Armored with good ol' DSA

These are only possibilities, I may go in a completely different direction. Especially after some opinions.

Sage · « **Reply #98 on:** August 13, 2009, 01:02:11 AM »

why not build one the other way? with the battery on the right instead of the left? so they would be mirrors of each other.

kill343gs · « **Reply #99 on:** August 13, 2009, 01:06:51 AM »

Or make it so they fit together like 2 puzzle pieces
