With RA2:FB starting, I need some feed back from stock, so to keep with BTTB I have a crap one and a serious one.

Wheels on servos don't work iirc
also why is the saw facing downwards?
-

because stock attachment points suck ass
anywho the casters on the hs are pointless and rotate the extenders on the tribar 90 degrees
-
Top one is suck, delete it from your hard drive immediately. :gawe:
Bottom one's fairly decent. What you might want to do is downgrade from a Blackvolt to a Nifty, you're eating up quite a lot of weapon/defense weight with powering the thing. Rotate the tribar extenders 90 degrees, so both weapons hit at the same time. If you lost the casters and added a plow instead, that would hopefully leave you enough weight to swap some of the razors for maces. The SnapperII is a godsend for bots like this, though, take a look at my Death By Purple series if you like, to see what you can come up with/get away with.
-
1st one is just to keep in line with BTTB, and I'll try making those adjustments today.
-
Upgraded, couldn't get the plow sorry.

very good, now try snapper loading the axle of the snapper off and attaching the ztek directly on
oh and less empty space
-
K, should I make it taller so I can put the cb on top of the nifty?

try stacking the nifty onto the cb, it might take some time, but it'll be worth it
-
Stacking's too hard so I found a way around it. Still kinda underweight though, so any ideas?

Also churned out a MW popup.

LW is slowly turning into DBP3. Whether that's good or bad, I'm not sure.
MW Popup seems alright, but the chassis could definitely be shrunk. That could save you some weight for frontal defenses. Is it a true popup or a regular popup?
-
It's a true popup, also how many batteries do you think it needs?
-
I think 2 blacks, and true pop ups are not as effective in stock as in dsl, try make it a normal pop up
-
K, I only have one so I'll take away the wedge protecter, shorten the chassis and take away some weapons to make it light enough.
-
lolololol, weren't expecting this were you?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/641111wd.jpg)
-
that must spin slow
-
it doesn't actually work
-
Need help. Get this to LW. Probably remove extra space. How?

-
Anchors in front and behind the black instead of placing them at the sides.
-
or, downgrade to a nifty and put the anchors on one side of the batt. OR you can put the anchors underneath the batt + make the chassis higher if its stable enough and you don't care about invertibility to save even more weight.
-
Not that it helps you shed weight, but it may also be wiser to simply attach the redbirds/zteks directly to baseplate anchors instead of extender work that's liable to being ripped off. With redbirds spinning you round, I doubt the likelihood of them getting you up to the speeds where the extenders being hit is a non issue. Don't really lose anything since four anchors is the same weight as two + four extenders.
-
Some ideas:
You could use static weapons and use hpz drives. Or you could downgrade to rad weapon drives,then use z-teks for drive ?
-
Alright, I "upgraded" it.

Yeah, don't build everything on a VS off the same snappers as the wedges. Maybe switch to one wedge and then use the other snapper for the weapon rack. Or you could use baseplate anchors.

So I'm told... Tried improving it but maces were too heavy, and razors were too long. So I made it a FS with razors. Wish it could be a VS but spacing issues.

Is that for KOS' tourney?
Regardless it looks cool. Though I'm not a fan of the front/back drives. But still would probably rape my poor excuse for a pop-up :dumb)
-
I entered the other MW right above that one for KOS. Might enter this for Tusslers 4.
-
Oh didn't see that.
Well I'm clearly not gonna win this one.

Nice.

So is this stock's AGOD?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/92559damn.jpg)
Here's the design of the rest of it.

Looks like AGoD to me. Sucks dude, that thing looks pretty sweet.
-
Blarg. I just had that happen with my most recent build. First time I've seen it. I can't figure out what would cause it.
It's different from AGOD. AGOD only messes up the collision mesh. This messes up the display AND collision, and in a different way than AGOD typically does. Maybe it's a new kind of AGOD?
It can sometimes be temporarily fixed by pause-loading the bot. It will stay fixed for a while, but can eventually glitch out again for no discernible reason, at which point you have to pause-load again.
-
I had that happen to be before, IIRC it seems to be caused by the rotation of the axle of the snapper (which you can't change at all due to the maces).

Ohhh right. That makes sense.
I had two Snappers facing opposite directions, and the glitch consistently only happened with one of them. It was the Snapper with the start position slider set all the way to the left.
So maybe you could rotate the Snapper itself, thus putting the axle at a different angle, and it would fix the problem?
-
BFE the hell out of it man...

The tournament's signups are ended so it might be after BB9 before I finish it.

Nice bots. The off-center weapon motors make them look strange, though.
-
What drive is on the 2nd bot?
-
i would wage Redbird cuz it doesn't look like he can fit a rad in there without making it stick out of the chassis.
-
What drive is on the 2nd bot?
I don't remember and I'm not at my computer so I really am not gonna recall.
-
What drive is on the 2nd bot?
It's RAD drive.
-
Am I doing this right?

if those are the burst motor razors sticking out then no, as it will do terribad damage with them out like that

What should I do then.

You could turn it into a regular popup insted of true?
Also, are you weapon motors mounted statically or on the SII's?
