RFS is better than sock AI by far. And besides, He probably won't get any better, so let him be.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

Well, you wasted weight on a DDT when you're just bursting one motor. Using a Snapper II instead (or a Snapper2 if it wobbles too much). And, your wedges aren't symmetrical. Turn the left snapper around. Also, HSes will rip that tribar off in first contact, so a dual angle FS might be better for that. And try to upgrade the drive since the wedges won't do anything with motors that weak.

The wedges are there to prevent the weapon from hitting the ground.
I upgraded the DDT to a Snapper II.

It's wobbly, so just attach the HPZ to a 45-degree anchor. Then just rebuild the chassis and use Z-Teks for drive.

Its not very wobbly,Its the fact that it does a barrel roll as soon as the weapon starts.XD

The weapon's too far from the chassis so the wedges need to be even longer to stabilize the whole thing. But that will make the bot too brittle. Use a disc instead of a tribar for a stabler stance and more attachment points. :D

LISTEN (that is what got you banned the first time) the chassis and set up you are using is really only good for a FS or a decently built VS, also the hidden attachment point on the blue snapper could upgrade your drive to Redbirds or even ZTecs.
