Old thread deleted due to ungodly amounts of cringe.

Plinkyde 2, second version of Plinkyde from A.R.B.B.C.
4 HPZ Chained VS, 16 Irons, 2 stacked Blacks, 4 HPZ Drive, DSA, 796kg.
The 140cm and red extenders are used for stabilisers because it'll tip over easily. Keep or remove?
did i dun gud?
-
Looks pretty damn good to me :)

9 Claws, 247.9kg, DSA.
-
I didn't know you even did Stock. Nice build, but is it invertible?
-
why did you deleted your old thread ? showcases are NOT made to be deleted...
-
Say that to venko
VS looks good, as does the HS. Theyre both a little generic but thats okay early on :V
-

Venko didn't delete his showcase, it was deleted in the great purge of BAD WORDS!!!

Monji - Pyscolone Popup.
It has all the stuff it needs to qualify as a Pyscolone Popup. 398.4kg.
-
Looking good, it would be alot better if the wedge wasn't as steep as it is :)
-
not actually a pysc popup

"The challenge is: Build a MW popup with 2WD HPZ drive, Rubber wheels, 2 stacked Supervolts, DSA, 3 DDTs, 8 Razor tips, and 1 Small wedge."
How not?

technically the drive is supposed to be inside

That good or bad?

It's.... fun

screw them i like the extenders
i really dont get everyones fetish with neat extender work, like it only makes sense if it could obviously net you some sort of increased performance and in most cases when people complain about it, it wont
-
You make a valid point, Kill. And the extenders are fun, I meant it. Certainly in this instance not much can be gained from lightening the extender setup, assuming, Kurt, you want to keep the width of the motors? That said, though, what weight is the bot on atm?
If you were to rebuild this I'd consider making that first extender that comes off the S-II just a 20cm. You would then have the HPZ's protected better from other HS and side hammers - they'd be both partially in the chassis and in the drive Z-Teks. While it's not ideal to have the motors exposed you don't have much choice, and having more than one motor in a similar place, with the wheel and plow about too, will mean more things are there to take hits. It's like the process of segmenting wedge extenders.
At the same time, though you wouldn't lose out in the reach department - the plow would still be the same distance in front of the HPZ, that wouldn't change.
-
extender setup is cool and not messy. and that's all that matters

Look, I made a 36 HS.

Apart from the stuff on the tribars there are literally 2 20cm extenders.

Not the most efficient but I love that extender work dammit

lolwut
Anyhow - I'm worried about motor protection. Where do the motors normally sit? I'm assuming they aren't usually at that angle, given the SII rotation.
Also, what weight/how many blacks? Trying to work out if you can get some armour on the thing.
-
One Black, 798.9, normally at the position on the right.
-
PFFFFT YOU COULD HAVE ROTATED THE ARMS SO THAT ALL MOTORS ARE COLINEAR
also you could downgrade to shinies for some casters or something

One Billion Hours. DSA, Middleweight, in GTMCS.
There's also a more child friendly version with Granny wheels and 12 razors.
-
Thanks for all the feedback on One Billion Hours.

Octembruary, check it out.
48 razors.
4 HPZ weapon motors on snappers for boosting.
2 HPZ drive motors so it's faster than I was expecting.
2 big discs attached to the chassis for infinite armour.
-
What's with the extenders in front of the discs? Also is it possible to get something to protect the tribars?

6kg left over, figured I'd put up something to try and block a wayward poker getting at the weapon motors.
-
What's the point of the blue snappers if you're using RA2CF? Just chassis mount everything, unless you have a burning desire to burst-boost those Z-Teks
-
100+ kg on a non-bursted HPZ is painfully slow, though. One of the bots in II AI had that and is forced to SnS just to deal decent damage.
-
Fair I guess, I didn't know that boosting the HPZ did that much. I still wonder if it's worth it for the weight and losing invincibility for the HPZs, I feel like a popup is gonna feed on them (unless the bottom disc completely protects them?)

stock is duuuuuuumb
-
i mean there is literally no reason to use icepicks over claws unless you plan on losing :really_makes_you_think:
-
i doubt hes got 9kgs if hes using dsa
or were picks 8kg too? i forget. i thought they were 7
-
Nobody has anything that uses ice picks so I wanted to make something with ice picks regardless of whether or not it wins (fat chance) or loses.
-
I was going to hate it anyway as you have more weapon HP than me.

Same weight, but Pip's built that 6 times already.

9 Claws, 247.9kg, DSA.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
"It's been built 6 times already." is literally Stock in 6 words.
I like it for the reason of not using the same components as everything else, something i've tried in my entry. So I hope it gets a win or two at the very least.

*nose in the air*
My actual comment was more accurate, that robot has been built 6 times by everyone on earth.

hey guys check out my new and/or original stock robbit (https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/434808581288886283.png?v=1)
-
Should probably have something to help the opponent slide up into the spinners instead of the arms and casters.
-
Agreed. Just ditch those for 3-4 plows then you've got a solid bot.

Pretty classic. I like it. Is the vertical square extender to help it self right?
-
We read it 6666 times!
-
what weight class is that? :really_makes_you_think:
-

Nah, I had a bunch of leftover weight and wanted to add something. With the upwards stick the weapons can still spin when its flipped over, so that's a plus.

You're not exactly wrong. :dumb) Plinkyde was the original, Plinkyde 2 was the same chained VS idea but not sh**, Plowboi was the exact same as Plinkyde 2 but with plows, Psychic Gloria was turning it into a hybrid, and Digitiser was replacing the vertical spinners with hammers.
-
Do the arms even retract properly? 4 irons is already pushing it on a popup, so I don't see 5 on a hammer doing well.
That aside, the setup looks clean. I'd prefer 4 RAD spinners instead of the 2 HPZs you got there, but I'm not sure if there's enough weight even if you lighten the hammers.
These last 2 bots look great.

love the look of it. agree with everything pwn said. If you were to go a RAD route instead of HPZ, I'd recommend low to the ground. They can really help with wedginess and damage
-
If nothing else, Digitiser is as aesthetic as ****...
Especially in how you built those extenders for the wedge. Maybe not the most weight efficient, but why not if you have some spare in the bank.
:mrgreen:
-
"Digitiser" is a swell name, I'd also use rads if you can do fit them well.

But they actually are more efficient. They're 5kg beta-extenders enabled in stock V1.4

Ah, can you enlighten me on this? I'm playing 1.2 stock and the metal extenders have the same HP as the others with more weight. Should check out 1.4

There's a hidden 140 cm square extender that only weighs 5 kg.

Wow! Thanks.
Are those usually legal?

If the event says "Stock" then it's probably ok unless a rule specifically bans it. Sometimes hosts forget to say "1.4."

my eyes
Actually neat tho, but isn't that a little too much weight for a hammer? It's been a long time. IDK anymore.
-
It's probably good enough, but gut-ripping is likely the main the main weapon.
-
Irons on rads, especially in gut ripper fashion, won't be doing you much good. Switch to razors, add a few trapping snowplows up top to protect your DDT and keep bots on top of you.
Agree that the hammer is gonna be weak with that much weight.
Use anchors to symmetrically mount the wedges on the outside. Uneven wedges are inconsistent, and this way you can make it w i d e r
Cool bot!

Shameless klone of Fission, but with irons instead of maces, and the motor setup is a bit different.
-

Changes already. Went for a single extender, switched wheels, and added another two casters. 796.9 kg now for those of you playing along at home.
-
Yeah, that's pretty much the most you could get out of that snapper setup. Theoretically you could extend the front part of the chassis so you could jam in a tall caster but I'm not sure if it'll weigh more than 800.
-
yee the second one is mo betta
