Ramplates wont work. I forgot to mention this, but because the DDTs are mounted on Snappers, they tend to "bounce" and occasionally pop out from behind the ramplate. So a snowplow might work better.

Try mounting the Snapper2 on its side rather than its back. The plane of rotation won't conflict with the bot's plane of normal movement, so they shouldn't wobble quite so much. Then you'd be able to stick two ramplates on the front. =]

I have like some weird in-ability to make side-hammers:

It's not just you. I can't either :/

Conraaaaaaaaaa's latest bot inspired me to make one myself:

I have a feeling the arms are too long, because they are a little exposed, and occasionally the hazards(yes, the hazards) end up noming them off. But they have ideal reach for the front, and each arm can do like 600+ damage. So I'm not sure what to make of it.

Though I could just be un-original and make this a pop-up instead, because to my surprise:

Yes, Splash Attack's wedges are lower, and better then Crazy Gadgets.

.....And for some reason the bot looks like Pinkie Pie's hair.

J · « **Reply #664 on:** June 15, 2011, 02:48:31 PM »

Felt like trying to make it into a Pop-up:

It still gets under Crazy Gadget, but Waterbug gets under it.
....But Crazy Gadget gets under Waterbug.
So how the

does that even work?

Anyway, I think I'm doing this wrong, but it being a pop-up.
That, or this chassis-idea just ultimately failed :/

Probably because razors are better than Irons on Pop-ups. So maybe change the Irons to razors and stack another Black.

I'm going to challenge myself by attempting something that's neigh impossible.
And by "impossible", I mean to make good realistic bots in Stock(or at least try to).
Plus, this will give me something to do until I come up with a good idea for something else.

As a start:

Oh, and he has 2 blacks. Which I forgot to mention.

Just merged this with your old showcase. It's not necessary to make a new one. Besides, we like your style. :P - Pwn

Mr. AS · « **Reply #667 on:** June 23, 2011, 07:51:16 PM »

use razors

J · « **Reply #668 on:** June 23, 2011, 10:35:17 PM »

Oh so this was merged now. Sure.

I did some testing with this guy just now, and hes actually fairly good agenst some of the Starcore MWs O,o

Does that mean pop-ups can be realistic?

...damn

Also, try to use Shinies if you can.

Rubbers are better for this

Meganerdbomb · « **Reply #670 on:** June 24, 2011, 01:40:02 AM »

We need more realistic stock bots.

Most newcomers THINK this is good advice, however there are instances where rubbers are useful, especially if you have the weight for it. They give you a lower ground clearance, and thus better wedges, which is useful on this style of robot. =]

And the weaponry looks a little bit slapdash for me, in all honesty.

J · « **Reply #672 on:** June 24, 2011, 07:34:36 AM »

insides:

I'll probably make a HW version of this, as it would give me more room for the DDT to fit inside the chassis.

Yea, but lighter bots are going to be harder to make >__>

Yea, it does. And razors would almost always end up touching eachother.
...And that would defeat the purpose of realistic.

J · « **Reply #673 on:** June 24, 2011, 04:40:44 PM »

It would appear that realistic HSs are possible in stock:

All of the wheels touch the ground in the test lab, but when you go to battle with it, the drive wheels only touch the ground 50% of the time.
.........
RA2, you are so random.

That aint a HS dude...

H and V are sort of near on the keyboard.

The Ounce · « **Reply #676 on:** June 24, 2011, 05:47:39 PM »

On the MW, rotate the wedges snappers 180 degrees. This will give your wedges a wider stance allowing it to get under things more easily.

J · « **Reply #677 on:** June 24, 2011, 10:14:46 PM »

I make typos all over the place. You guys know that.
....And I always get ragged on whenever I'm too lazy to fix them >__>

You know, the MW could actually go with having just 1 black, as I could then (hopefully) fit the DDT inside.
And without using the ramplate, it would give me more weight for a better weapon.

Felt like re-working the MW:

J · « **Reply #679 on:** July 04, 2011, 04:32:20 PM »

I went back to non-realistic for a bit.

*Well aware of the fact I'm doing this wrong*

Fun-Fact: This is the first time Ive ever used Caster-Armor
