My new/ 2nd popup.
« on: April 26, 2009, 09:45:41 PM »
Well, here is the next step in my popup building abiltiy.



Here is another view.


And one more.



As you can see this one is tighter, has a 4HPZ drive instead of 2, and has 4 razors tips per arm for a total of 16, instead of my original 8.

My soul gripe is that i cannot fit red battery in there, and it doesnt seem to want to stack into a black. The 2 blacks were hard enough to fit it.

What do you guys think?
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!

         Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

Ignore ian's "stupid newbie" remark. Other than that, please do put all of your bots in one single showcase.

The bot itself looks very good. You have some real potential.

Thanks, a few questions though. Do you guys think that 2 black batteries is enough power for this setup? I have enough weight to add a nifty, but I just dont have the space, and I couldnt get it to stack. Is it possible to stack different kinds of batts together?

I know that, but I also know that a DDT takes more juice than a hp ztek. I just want to make sure I'm not underpowering.

Could definitely be skinnier... and you need 4 blacks for that setup. you can axle glitch the axle as well as the wheel into the other zteks.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

ok I'm done being aggro for now, another tip robo forgot about.. try to keep your images small, take a look at other showcase (such as mine) and you will see people use one splash pic that displays the bot, weight and most of the time name and then explain what the bot does. you can make a splash just by copying, resizing and pasting in paint.

btw the bot does show potential.

It's very nice for your second popup, but yes you'd need 4 blacks for that.

Please keep your stock bots in just ONE showcase.

I redid the bot, made it thinner, tighter, but all I can manage to afford with my weight is 3 blacks... I'll try again later today. Yeah, I'll make sure to post them in the same thread. My bad.
