Your creative and I like your building style. The only thing that I might suggest is that to pull the motor back, and move the wedges forward because I don't see that getting under any robots. Yet it might work for you because I don't play stock and I wouldn't know.
Its a Beetle-weight. It cant exceed 175.
And yes, it has plastic.

You could save a ton of weight if you stopped using so many angle connectors.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Yeah, just use the sides of round extenders.

I have a fetish for using angle connectors. I have no idea why.
And I think if I move the weapon motor back somewhat, and used extenders for the wedges, it would work better for me.

On the AW,  you can get the razors in a low position so they hit more easily.

The BW is messy, you don't need wedges (especially 2) in fact.

Its funny, because I had just finished re-building it from the ground up:

The chassis is exactly how I want it, and I'm not re-building it.
The weapon set-up, on the other hand, is open to suggestions.

So guiz, I her u liek litewaits

Its possible I have a fetish for chicken-drills.
And yes, the entire robot is effectively the purple/green motor, and uses a blackvolt with redbird drive.
Add to it, its invertible.

Fun-Fact: It has DS armor

Thoughts?

A Blue snapper would fit better in there and weighs less.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

I was wondering how you got the drive motors there.

Thought, probably use a snapperII instead of a green snap, and your weaponr aren't going to be that great when it's inverted.

eFFe glitch + some patients to end up re-building that whole idea a few times

*needs to get around to downloaded the AI parts again*
And the weapon apparently can still hit stuff while its upside down.
.....But only like 50% of the time.
(Because I'm pretty sure the razor has a weird hitbox)

The Smorg Team now contains a Middleweight:

Even though the frontal wedges/razors look a little ridiculous, they actually work. Its hilarious.
And I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
DSA, and has about 3-4 pink batteries in there

Blacks. ;)

Also, you could attach the razors at an upwards angle a bit further back, to make it a wammer/flipper hybrid, a bit like CRITICAL EMERGENCY in the DSL pack. Also, I'm really not certin you need the 30-or so kg to snapper load the drive motors on like that. Make the chassis a normal wedge box and attach them like that, you'll save...I'm guessing somewhere in the region of 20 or so kg with normally attached drive as opposed to snapper loading. Plus people can't knock them off if they get round the back of you. =]

I couldn't find room >___>

So I work them to where they are like the sword-blades, except I use razors. Sure.
And speaking of EMERGENCY:

I originally thought I was going to run out of room. That's why I used the Snapper 2.
But I guess at least 1 re-build/attempt at your idea couldn't hurt, as I think it would give me some weight for weapons/stuff.

Ya Don't need the T Connector at the back, The ramplate would be better if it was a rack of weapons, and use shinies. Other than that, Freaking win.

Yes, we all know this. I need to re-build it slightly.

Ehhh... I wanted this to be more of a generic-flipper, really...

and use shinies
But I like those gray tires D:

Lrn2build popups?

1. what rack of weapons could he make with 20kgs thats useful
2. a rack of weapons would prevent bots from going over the bot, which is what a popup is made for

Yes, he did say that. Flipper is an incorrect term as this robot has weapons, making it a popup. And no, you don't want a rack of weapons on a popup, OR a generic flipper.
