I did want this bot to be fast, which is why I used HPZs.
And the pink was sort of filler. Yes, I admit that. But it originally had 2 Blacks, and then ended up being like .8 overweight, and threw it into the HW catagory.

So if anything(aside from re-doing the chassis), I would like it if it had Redbirds as its drive.

Actually redoing the chassis is probably a good idea. I needs to be about 20% smaller.

Just did that:

I love how I have leftover weight [/sarcasm]

1 Black, 2 HPZs for the weapon motors, Red-Bird drive, 12 maces.

try to figure out how to put a plow on it, you have weight

40cm parallel to the one holding the weapon motors on? I think it looks alright now, you just have to try and find a way of making it invertible.

I didn't really design it to be invertible to being with >___>
Ugh.

3 casters should do the trick. A 5cm at the middle and 2 15cms beside that should work.

Stacking two snappers in the same place will be lighter.

Actually, looking at the bot again, I think I should re-do the chassis.
If I make it a bit longer, so the chassis is basically a square, instead of the weird one it is now, I could not only save weight but also re-do the extender set-up, and HOPEFULLY make it invertible.

Been ages since I made something:

...I might have gotten a little rusty, but then again, this bot's insides look like just about any other one of my creations.
Also, I wasn't sure what to do with the left over weight.

Pwnator · « **Reply #790 on:** January 05, 2012, 05:07:16 AM »

You can probably add 2 anchored razors out from the sides.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #791 on:** January 07, 2012, 11:19:19 PM »

Or add something on the Snapper II axles to keep bots from going over your top.

I'm sure you know this but razors are better than irons on popups. If you used razors maybe you could put several ramming spikes on top.

Also, the chassis needs to be shaped like an F. :P

I was experimenting with the chassis, and Razors just weren't long enough to reach through the chassis.
Plus, I had the weight for it..... So why not?
I'll probably just scrap this one and start over.

Actually, I wasn't doing more letter-themed bots with this one.
I only named it that as an excuse to spam the skin with the letter F.

HOLY CRAP, J IS BUILDING STUFF AGAIN:

Middleweight, something I hardly ever make.
Regardless, its basically the same-old bot I seem to have made every other minute, except its a MW.

Just wish it had some form of frontal protection.....

If you put shines on you should be able to get a ramplate.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #795 on:** August 18, 2012, 12:48:20 PM »

its... large ?

its also very steep

madman3 · « **Reply #796 on:** August 18, 2012, 01:13:48 PM »

2 blacks?
You could probably get away with 3 razors per DDT and then give yourself a ramplate or some casters at the side. I'd also try and get a shallower chassis wedge.

Go around to re-building this disaster:

Mr. AS · « **Reply #798 on:** August 19, 2012, 11:43:43 PM »

yuck, messy

irons arent really the best for popups, why are you not using razors ? it would save you 18 kg to use elsewhere and be more damaging

J · « **Reply #799 on:** August 20, 2012, 12:40:47 AM »

The only reason this bot is a disaster: Because I can't middleweight.
Also Razors didn't seem like they would reach the whole way through. Likely, I'm just being paranoid(as usual).
And 18 kg won't really give me enough to mess around with :I
