You have more than 10 KG to play around with there, i'd consider extending the wedges for one. Not if the wedges are good enough already.

And wait, 4 blacks? I'm hoping that's a typo.....
You only need 2 Blacks for this bot. Nope. You need 3.

King of Karnage - Sideshow Freak (Runner-Up, Best Engineered)
Rust In Pieces - Paper Cut 3 (Grand Champion, Most Dangerous Bot)
Wheely Tag Tournament - Ion Thruster (Grand Champion, along with Ounces' DiSemboweLment)
UK vs USA - Dark Striker (Grand Champion)
Rust In Pieces 2 - Claymore (Runner-Up, Favourite Bot)
BBEANS 6 - Infection 4 (Runner-Up)
RA2 Team Championships - Serious Business, Skeksis (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, and Badnik)
RA2 Team Championships 2 - The Other Stig (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, Badnik, 090901, and R1885)
Replica Wars 3 - Abaddon (Runner-Up, Luckiest Bot)
BroBots - wheebot & yaybot (Runner-Up)
Robo Zone 2 - Dipper (4th place, Survival Champion, & Best Axle Bot)
ARBBC - The Covenant (3rd place, BW Rumble Winner, Most Feared BW)

From the how power consumption works topic:
For a typical HW popup with 4 HP Z-tek drive and 4 DDT's, you need 100 (x4) + 312.5 (x4) = 1650 total BEMIOR, which is about 2 Supervolts.  Remember that these are minimum values, however, and your motors may start slowing down depending on how much total power you have.
This has 2 DDTs right? So 2 supervolts should be all you need.

2 Blackvolts give 1600 Power, so you're actually underpowering it very slightly. It can work, but you do need it to be a quick match.

I asked inf how many blacks his popup has and he said 4 because it gave it that little bit extra pepper, so I copied it.

This goes for anyone...try to find a popup with 2/3 blacks that performs as consistently and lethally as one with 4. It's Pysc's rule of four...Two DDT's (weapons)+ 4 HP Drive = 4 Blacks.

R4 had 2 blacks. It had more than enough power. You should know, it knocked you out of BBEANS :P

Alright, another lw in this thread: Slice'nDice

245.9kg
DSA (!)
1 nifty
Exostacked baseplate anchors <3
Everything else clearly seen in the picture



The choice was either a shiny hub or plastic, and since it's very stable with the shiny I went for the former.

Find a way to turn the RADs so that the motor isn't sticking into the direction of the spin.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Much better. Was the point of the original to be an undercutter or does it work the same the other way around?

Hmm, expected much more comments on my SnS.

Anyway, here is a new version of BlueBox:



248.9kg
pretty much invincible front (the snapper works as a caster, it cannot be destroyed)
1 nifty
DSA
6 razors
Bursted RAD drive, Bursted Z-Tek weapons

Sadly my drive and weapon setup (read: extender work) is very heavy, leaving no weight for a plow.

1) How in the heck did you manage to put a SnapperII there?
2) Is it invertible?

1) It just exostacks like that, ask RA2.
2) Yes.

Nice. I really, really like that. Like a more stable version of Singularity. Thing is, you really only need two, possibly three extenders for the drive/weapons, so you should be able to get a plow on there, or two casters side-by-side.

The major problem is the drive. The SnapperII MUST be on baseplate level (not elevated), or it won't exostack. This means that I require some ugly extender work to get the drive to mid-level.

Unless you have a better setup recommendation ofcourse :D

Currently I use 2 extenders for the weapon setup, that setup is pretty good and pretty much the only way to get the weapons at invertable height.

But I use 4 extenders and a t-connector for the drive =S

You really could get the drive extender work lightened. You could easily get away with only two or three extenders there, it doesn't necessarily have to be perfectly central.
