Post by: Jammy Dodger on December 18, 2016, 10:42:47 AM
this going to be a mess but here have this

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/3169Ze popup cafes outside.png) Its called Popup Cafe the name being a pun on a type of cafe

I'd say you need a DDT or green snapper wedge. Made the middle DDT the wedge and put an extra razor on each DDR, which gives you some weight for another black (stacked) maybe or rubbers

why square extender?

I'll try :)

why square extender?
in stock 1.4 theres the 140 cm square extender and it weighs 5 kilos

why square extender?

The 104cm extender was made hidden during development. It was developed before they gave the square extenders different weights and so it only weighs 5kg.

Doesn't look bad at all, but 3 DDTs should have a black and Nifty at the bare minimum. If you want to beat HS I would also make the wedge much shallower and wider.

I've done some fiddling with PC so it has 2 batts (red and a black) and now has ten razors with a the middle ddt being the the wedge but now it weighs 403 :|

Stack the supervolt, remove the nifty along with it's chassis space and get rid of one razor on each DDT.

Stacking batteries is easy, you literally just place one battery on top of another identical battery. Just remember it's only accepted in Stock.

Getting better, but the 5th razors are unnecessary because the weight causes the DDTs to slow down; 3 or 4 is optimal. Use the extra weight from that as well as narrowing the back end of the chassis by rotating the black to make the chassis wedge bigger. For the powered wedge, it's best to just experiment because it seems to depend on weight distribution rather than the type of motor; DDTs just happen to be the heaviest but they should be about equal to a SnapperII with more components shifted towards the front. I like the original setup you had, though if it doesn't work well just forget it.

You don't need the blade on the wedge extender.

Burst motors only get stronger with battery power up to a certain point; once they reach their limit they can only handle so much weight.

New bot looks very clean, nice job. Still needs another Nifty like you had before, or if you don't think the chassis space is worth it you can get by with squeezing in one or two purple batteries (they're really easy to stack). You can get some more weight by using Shinies and removing the blade, it's not very helpful on a wedge that short. Rubber wheels can *potentially* make it wedgier, but if it's unproven in testing then they serve no purpose. Use the weight to make the wedge even shallower and wider - it really is that important in Stock. And rotate your DDTs so the razors are in the middle.

Yes! That looks great, you can still rotate the left DDT so it swings closer to the centre and make the weapon setup more compact, but these are just small things. Use the extra weight to make the front wider (you only have to drag the front two points to the side).

Something else to think about is the length of your burst wedge; remember that if a single-wedge popup faces a double-wedge popup head-on, whichever one's wedge(s) is longer wins. Just don't make it so long that you lose your ability to turn and face the enemy.

if you're going to to have a short single wedge, i would swap to an emergency wedge. wider stance makes it better against hs and you have a better chance against bots with narrow wedges. also, i can't remember exactly, but i think it has more hp than a than a small wedge (600 vs 400)

Looks decent, but with LWs you really have to maximize your chassis efficiency since it makes up a more significant part of your total weight. As we've mentioned, you should go for a black and DSA like Child's Play IV; it'll be a clone or almost one but that's just what happens when Stock's been out for 10 years and you only have 250 kg to work with. I would definitely move the drive motors back so they are right beside the battery and for the front setup there are a few ways to do it. ACAMS used just one anchor, I have one with three anchors, etc.

Looks pretty good. You should bring the ramplates down, attach the razors using 2 extenders only, and widen the front. And make sure the DDT starting position is well below the chassis ceiling

Uhh so you dropped a razor for HPZ drive? If you stack two anchors back-to-back for the drive instead of having an anchor with a T and two extenders, it'll give you weight for the third razor.
