Well, it's been a while since I built stock, but I wanted to try and enter RA2 League.
Went back to the gutripper thing above, and redesigned it to be a popup hybrid.



Insides (with snapper rotated so you can get a clearer view):



Weight = 791.5, armour is DSA
At the moment the popup spikes fire upwards, but I think I'll re-do them to fire forwards.
Thoughts?

SO COOL.

Chassis could use more armor but STILL COOL

Really nice.

I can't help but think razors firing upward is better than the razors firing forward though - forward firing would just push opponents away from the gutripping weapons?

Thanks guys :)
@Sage, I'll try and move the plows so that they protect the chassis a little more
@GK, I had all the razors rotating upwards so that the opponent was drawn up into the popup razors, and that seems to work OK, however you may be right. I'll try having the razors running in different directions with the spikes popping upwards, and see if that improves its damage capabilities

I was envisaging all the razors running upwards, and the popup firing upwards, but I'm now not sure if that's what you've got going on right now?

Re-did the plows, so that they now protect more of the front chassis. Had to remove two casters as a result, but from testing it briefly it seems to be worth it to have the plows re-positioned.

Insides are identical to before, and weight is 791.5 still
Only thing I'm really unhappy with at the moment is that a plow extender slightly shows through the lower plows, although this doesn't seem to have mattered when I tested the design either.

I was envisaging all the razors running upwards, and the popup firing upwards, but I'm now not sure if that's what you've got going on right now?
Currently I have all of the razors running up, and the popup firing from back to front. This seems to work fairly well, but as I said I'll try out some different setups

Okay, looks better. Is the drum/grinder weapon effective, or do you find yourself doing most of your damage with the popup?
