Whats the point of another Black? Its got enough power hasn't it?

Well i thought it looked a bit underpowered, make it tight enough you may only have to remove 1 razer anyway.

If you say so...

Normally a lot of people strive for the pyscolone popup challenge. Its 2 HPZ Drive, 3 DDTs, 4 razors on the 2 outer ones, a wedge on the middle one, and two stacked blacks.

Wait it already has 2 ? If then, nevermind my last post. If it has only 1, stack one more.

Nice pic of it killing Mutiny 2.

You only needed 4 points D:

Another Pop-up, less fail than the last one.

Wedges are pretty good and the caster armour actually does something. 4 razors.

Y no replies? Come on folks!

Well, I can't really say much about it since I've used a similar setup and it also works well.

Hmmm... how about ditching the wedge blades so that you can add another pair of casters?

madman3 · « **Reply #28 on:** April 12, 2011, 07:42:08 AM »

It has been a very long time since I touched this showcase, but I felt like using stock and I built a surprisingly good MW VS.

HP Z-Tek drive, DSA.

Overall its pretty stable due to its moderate stance and it has suprisingly good wedges, as it can actually outwedge (:O) Seism 13 and Bounty Hunter, as well as a whole host of other HWs. But if fails against most HS (gave Vela a good run for its money though, nearly immobilizing it and KOing it.)

Here are some battle shots;

Some of the BBEANS bots it Ko'ed;

May post some other projects later.

Is it possible to move the weapon forward a bit?
And... umm...
Why square extenders?

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #30 on:** April 12, 2011, 07:56:31 AM »

140 cm square extenders weigh 5 kg.

Kewl.

You might want to try 40cm ditching the middle caster and use 40cm wedges so you can protect your motor with a razor or something.

The weapon could be move forward, but where it is it's slightly less vulnerable as a HS would travel up the wedge and have a harder time hitting the motor because of its location.

Also, 140cm square extenders weight only 5kg, making them pretty efficient if you want longer wedges. Edit; thanks, Bob :P

Will do, Pwn.

shows how often i play stock >.<
But try moving the weapon forward/protect the motor because it looks a little exposed to me.
If the weapon is back there then it looks like HS's might get to the chassis a little too easily before you can attack if it's low enough.

Just did Pwns advice (save for changing the wedges; did that and the wedges sucked :P) and the motor now has a razor protecting it. Still bad against HS, but most VS are.

Here's another few bots:

Yay, super havoky poker. It isn't that bad, but it ain't really amazing. Good against HS when it isn't havoky off the screen. Setup's pretty obvious.

Some popup I made. Has only 1 black but it delivers quick KOs.

Another popup, this time intended to be a replacement for Ronin in my AI folder. Underweight but it has good wedges. Not very damaging but hey, it wasn't exactly a serious bot. It looks pretty though

. Used axle loading for the drive and snapping loading to mount the weapon motors inside the batteries.

MW Poker is very well built, I reckon. If you swapped the T Connectors for normal Round Extenders, you'd save a fair chunk of weight, I reckon, and you might be able to add a couple more razors. To me, it looks quite a bit like a MW version of 3.14-ston, maybe that's why it's so havoky.

MW popup is cool if the wedges are good.

They're fairly average, beat most of the Starcore popups, but there aren't many of those :P. Might export it to PSY AI just for wedge testing.

It's havoky because of the fact that the pistons are technically mounted on a servo, which is always pretty bad (causes horrific AGOD too). However, when it's working its reach manages to remove frontal protection like ploughs with ease.
