You could expand the chassis and turn the servo sideways since you have the weight.
Done. Made the wedge much better in doing so, which is nice. Weight: 389.7

And the extender stuff:

Still not completely happy with the wedge though.

Maybe making the ram plate go by a shallower angle? I don't know if I'm giving good advice here or not.

make the chassis a wedge, once that ramplates gone the bot is useless.

A suggestion would be to build a Psycolone Popup, as a test of your skills.

I tried, so far unsuccessful. This is the closest I got:

Weight 375.8 , it has everything except the stacked black. I've been trying to take off as much weight as possible so that I can get the extra 30 in and this is the best chassis I've made so far. The snapper II has a t connector holding the hp zteks on.

naaaah dont bother with the snapper in this case for the popup. two baseplate anchors to hold the zteks behind the black should give you the weight for another black.

Done now. Took forever to stack the blacks, and also the baseplate anchors, but finally it is done:

And insides:

My first Pyscolone Popup! Sure, it's ugly, but it works!

1 or 2 blacks? I'm guessing 2?

Yeah, 2 blacks. Thats the bit that took the longest, other than the chassis which took a really long time.

It's definitely unique.

Pwnator · « **Reply #48 on:** July 11, 2013, 05:30:19 PM »

I'm digging it. Just rotate the razors properly so that all will hit at the same time.

boombabyboom · « **Reply #49 on:** July 11, 2013, 05:31:50 PM »

i think it has a little bit to steep of a wedgie but overall good

Sage · « **Reply #50 on:** July 11, 2013, 10:45:33 PM »

I would make the wedge shallower and use shinies for the wheels to get the weight

Thanks (I think)!

Cool, will do.

I tried a lot of different chassis to get enough weight to get everything in, this is the best I could do, but I agree the wedge is a bit steep.

Ok, I will.

you don't need DDT for wedge, but you definitely want to keep the wedge extender strait.

He used the DDT to meet the demands of the pysc popup challenge.

Lemonism · « **Reply #54 on:** July 14, 2013, 04:37:51 AM »

Made the wedge shallower, rotated the razors, switched to shinies.

Sage · « **Reply #55 on:** July 14, 2013, 01:17:12 PM »

Nice! Unique version of the pysc bot and cleanly built. well done

Lemonism · « **Reply #56 on:** July 16, 2013, 01:17:56 PM »

New bot: Barroth. Weight: 779.7

And insides:

Still some empty space and still underweight but I thought it was a good enough starting point to show here. Has 2 blacks and very fast drive. I also put some caster armour on the front corners to try and protect the extenders holding the plows on.

Lemonism · « **Reply #57 on:** July 18, 2013, 06:48:40 AM »

Double post. Another new bot, this time a terrible lightweight called Bnahabra. 10 points to anyone who knows what game the names of my last two bots were from.

Insides:

I was building this quite late at night so there is still some empty space and a probably pointless mace.

Pwnator · « **Reply #58 on:** July 18, 2013, 07:02:12 AM »

Wammer looks pretty good and you could probably add 2 maces to the sides to maximize weight.

LW looks decent enough, although you could achieve a similar setup without the axle (you might have to find a different servo position), and could possibly gain weight for a caster or something.

Used a baseplate anchor, but didn't put on a caster as I couldn't think where to put it.

If I remove the mace I can have a plow, is it worth having the plow or the mace?
