I totally didn't advise you on this, did I? :P
You could shrink the chassis slightly and move the caster to the corner. Other than that, not bad.

dammit it's a better Coelophysis D:

Figured I'd better drop this here so Gaz and Ty know what happened to the bot we were talking about...

Looks good? Check. Havoks like a fish out of water? Check. Exposed extender holding everything up? Check. DSA? Check. Nifty? Check. Failure? Check.

Hmmm, doesn't look too bad. Why is the drive so far back?

ty4er · « **Reply #224 on:** June 06, 2012, 07:28:51 AM »

i guess its unstable

i just have to finish mine now :P

Long 140cm square extender is long.

And it is suprisingly stable. When it isn't havoking.

It's a mini Ripblade (restocked anyway) :3

Mount the snapper in different ways and I'm pretty sure you'll find a setup that's least unstable.

He's onto me D:

Anyhoo, this thing.

Stock VS, why so bad without wedges D:

I need to find a way to protect those stabilisers more- HS and Popups seem to get them fairly often. Might remove the ice picks on the back, and the two central casters (The little OCD part of me couldn't leave them out D:) to protect the top better. And tbh, I'm not even sure I have the weapon motors wired the right way. :L 2 blacks (~~lazily~~lovingly stacked by gazea) and DSA.

You were right the first time. Lazily stacked. :P
Looks good, I'd remove the ice picks and protect the stabilisers more, though.

That bot reminds me of a spider..... dunno why. :P

Long legs and VS teeth vaguely reminiscent of chelicerae ?

Mr. AS · « **Reply #231 on:** July 07, 2012, 01:06:18 PM »

remember, all the round/square extenders have 100 hp, if they take a single >100 pt hit from a hs the entire bot's stability is done for, you need to protect them with quite a few 1000 hp weapons if you want it to not fail

martymidget · « **Reply #232 on:** July 09, 2012, 10:16:42 AM »

Slightly changed it- looks cooler now in my opinion, but stabilser protection isn't greatly improved.

2 central casters taken off, as well as the ice picks. Also has possibly my favourite name for a bot, Akantha.

martymidget · « **Reply #233 on:** October 11, 2012, 08:12:10 AM »

Just to prove I did it-

2 blacks, DSA, Rubbars, 4WD, green snapper wedges. Works more like a VS than a popup/VS hyrbrid, but the popup part does come into play every now and then.

I'm thinking rotating the snoploughs in towards the chassis a bit, and possibly extending the popup part a bit.

I think it looks cool anyways :P

Pwnator · « **Reply #234 on:** October 11, 2012, 08:29:36 AM »

The reason my VS/popup hybrid actually worked is because the VS component is small (so it pretty much acts like a drum and grinds instead of throws) so the popup element often comes into play.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #235 on:** October 11, 2012, 03:16:50 PM »

personally i would just use RADS so they dont toss the opponent away before the popup does anything

It stares into your soul.

NFX · « **Reply #237 on:** October 22, 2012, 01:19:06 PM »

And what else might it do? Can we stare into its soul, i.e. components?
