You could use a pair of 20cm extender to move the outermost HPZ's a bit further forward, I'm still not sure they'd be doing much.

surely 20 cm more on the wedges won't hurt?

NFX · « **Reply #182 on:** August 10, 2011, 04:45:03 PM »

If the wedges are good, I don't think you'd want to mess with them.

They aren't yet, I'm still working on the wedges.

Looks D-O-N-E to me. I added you on AIM, btw. Is your screenname just nightcracker?

Your other bots were Grade A material; this looks the part too.

I didn't see your buddy request, my AIM is "nightcracker@nclabs.org", without the quotes. Or maybe you could PM me yours and I'll add you.

EDIT: My bot also has serious drivetrain issues of some kind, perhaps can I send you the bot and you can tell me what's wrong? It's really weird.

If he has the weight for it, he could add blades ontop of the wedges.

You'll gain 18 KG by using 140 cm square extenders.

Looks VERY nice. I like the Samurai Swords, they look like they should do the job pretty well.

Segment your wedges. The more segments you have, the more "HP" you have. (each extender is 200 HP, regardless of length.) OR you could use the 5kg 140cm square extender found in stock 1.4 and protect it with blades.

Also, nice job stacking baseplate anchors into HPzteks.

More segments also means longer wedges, which in this case make them much worse.

Not necessarily, just segment them to the length you have now

he's right 2 20cms is slightly longer than a 40cm though I segment the wedges in the first place before wedge adjustment

Scorpion · « **Reply #194 on:** August 12, 2011, 05:50:03 PM »

I'd try segmenting the wedges (even if just partially) and try putting the snowplow further down.
I can see that helping trapping, and also, could help the wedges.

nightcracker · « **Reply #195 on:** August 12, 2011, 05:53:48 PM »

Guys, let me explain this. There is only ONE extre segment possible:

Baseplate anchor -> extender -> Snapper2 -> 40cm extender -> 60cm extender -> Small wedge

As you can see, there is only one possibility, splitting up the 60cm extender into 40+20. I have tried this and all possibilities of the wedge in this "mode". It sucked.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #198 on:** August 12, 2011, 06:16:57 PM »

Does it have a red extender paintjob?
