I did that, and it went overweight. It's actually fast enough anyway, at least for me to be able to drive it. I hate sh** that is so fast it bounces all over the arena with no control whatsoever.

2 HPZ drive MW's are not very hard to control. Try a 4WD HPZ MW rammer.

The popup looks good, kind of like an improved I Will Get Shredded, but it does need HPZ's. Also, it looks like the wedge might be attached upside-down. They work much better with the flat side on the ground.

The wedge is the right way up when it flips over...

What do you mean by overweight?
2 Z-teks=50 kgs
2 HPZs=60 kgs
60kgs - 50kgs = 10kgs

2 grannies=36 kgs
2 shinies= 24 kgs
36kgs - 24kgs = 12kgs
12 kgs(from shinies)- 10kgs(to change drive to HPZ) = 2kgs leftover(which you can use to lengthen the wedges by 20cm or use the 20cm to protect the wedge extender).

what do you mean? Post the bot(and the weight) with HPZs and shinies and let's see what's the problem.

Tried it, wheels don't touch the ground.

then it's too tall

I figure I might as well post this candy ass "no batteries" bot that I tested earlier, since I showed it off in the Skype group as well

Yeah, I will definitely be re-constructing the whole robot later on today (hopefully after I get some sleep) so I can incorporate better wheels/drive, and hopefully more weapons. I have to say the idea of making caster armored robots that flip themselves over at the beginning of the round is one of the funnest things I have tried in RA2 so far, so expect more of that.

Updated

I swapped out the second popup arm for a somewhat weight wasting feature that I have wanted to try for a while now. Because of the robots odd chassis size, and the fact that I had to snapper load the Zteks in to get the wheels to touch the ground, I set up a servo motor with a black extender that could be raised and lowered to keep the robot stable.

(The stabilizer shown here sticking strait up, normally it is down and you cannot see it.)

Very nice build. Shame about the overweightness. You could remove the second 20cm on the weaponry to get it down to AW straight away, though.
