Nice, but is there only a blackvolt battery?

If so then i think it's a bit underpowered.

The middle casters are weight wasted

Spin the razors around so the flat side hits the opponent.

And what could I do with those extra 21 Kgs apart from using rubbers? :P

They do. :P

Does it hit other bots like a car compactor or does it hit their bottom.

Hell, you're even doing it wrong in the whole caster setup. Either use 4 ramplates, either full casters like i did on my ROBONOVA 2 entry.

Ok, ill stop using casters. Was my first time with them anyways :P

Anyways, my latest bot. Insides will come tommorrow as I cba to take pictures and my internet is going to be turned off at any moment.

Its a true popup. My main concern is the DDT's at the top. And I used Grannies as Rubbers and Shinies werent big enough. Most of you guys could have pulled this off way better, but im happy with the result. I will let you guess the setup though. It has 2 blacks and DDT wedges just to help a little (not that some of you would need it :P) Weighs 797 kgs.

Too lazy to rebuild my 8-month old sucky true popup so I'll just give suggestions. XD

It's for the better if you rotate you HPZs 90 degrees so you can get rubbers. Also, if you want more damage, add 'ears' like R4 did so the razors can gain more momentum and deal more damage. And the ears will protect your bursts as well. :D

Its ironic really- both of my bots with their HPZs like that and Grannies have better wedges than those with my normal popup setup XD

Also, if you want more damage, add 'ears' like R4 did so the razors can gain more momentum and deal more damage. And the ears will protect your bursts as well. :D

Well, since the entire razor setup sucks (first time trying something different and failed:P) I'm going to back to my normal razor setup, which should also save me a good 8kg. I'm going to not make ears. Maybe a unicorn horn, but not ears :P

Made this splash for version 0.97ish (0.97 as the wheels and stuff need to be redone.) It was made before I remembered how I had put the drive on in the first place. Will redo the drive later.



Anyways, the setup is going to be the same, but what will I do with the 7 kg I'll have left over is beyond me. And yes, the battleshot on the bottom right is with me driving during testing. All advice appreciated :)

I'd suggest moving the front ramplates apart a little, so that they protect the outside corners of the bot. HS's tend to connect there more often, I've been told. ;)

Meh, I have more problems with them connecting with the baseplate...

Yeah. I was testing it out against AC, got under it fine, popped, flung AC into the air, but my bot also landed on its back. Then AC landed on the bot mace first and KO'ed it. Lol

Anyways, I cant seem to get it to drive straight with rubbers or shinies even after rotating the HPZs, so its grannies for now.

Ramplate should be further forward, A HS will easily tear up the front.
