I laugh at that tiny weakspot in the front. I wonder if Longbow could get it there...

I really don't like that exposed wheel, I'm going to try flip that Z-tek around and axle load the wheel away to place the middle Z-tek's .

If I do that I can put two snowplows on the sides that defend perfectly :D

Oh, and then I'll finally be on something like 799 kilo.

Has anyone ever succeeded in stacking a baseplate anchor inside a Z-tek?

Not that I know of, but it's probably possible. I would suggest axle loading it out of the way first, so the axle doesn't interfere.

I remember stacking a baseplate anchor into a HPZ once, yeah. But i stacked it after the axle was gone (axle loading) and I couldn't attach anything to the baseplate after.

That looks pretty decent, though the plow isn't doing much really.

Also, maybe your wedges will be better if your drive is at the rear end of the bot, not your batteries.

IIRC Neglected Waterbug has the correct wedges.

Strange... but not half bad! Have you tried building other types besides a popup?

nightcracker · « **Reply #87 on:** June 29, 2011, 05:10:25 AM »

Yes:

WOW!

I updated this bot with less jokey weapons and IT'S REALLY GOOD!

And I still want to do a gut-ripping VS, but I don't have the time ATM.

All right, a new bot, a LW HS (might actually be innovative, not sure), Blue Box!

DSA
1 Nifty
2 RAD's for drive
2 Z-Tek's for weapons
6 Razors
1 snowplow

EDIT: The plow can also be dropped to get 6 irons.

Pretty generic as generic gets....TempusFugit/Rigadoon style... Sorry to burst your bubble there...but you also have reg Zteks for weapons and not HPz. Challenge yourself! From what I see you have the skill.

NFX · « **Reply #90 on:** August 01, 2011, 02:52:20 PM »

They're Standard Z-Teks. =)

And it's not too bad. Tempus Fugit has the same components, but a Snapper-mounted setup, so the motors spin faster (yay RA2 Physics). You should probably try to make it invertible, though.

nightcracker · « **Reply #91 on:** August 01, 2011, 02:57:10 PM »

Sorry, meant normal Z-Teks, just happen to write HP so often. Edited.

nightcracker · « **Reply #92 on:** August 02, 2011, 03:11:26 PM »

I'm productive, another new bot!

Squeesh
4WD
4 Snowplows
16 Irons
Snapper wedges
2 Blacks
DSA

I could find the HPZs to be lunch for HS that get too high.

G.K. · « **Reply #94 on:** August 02, 2011, 03:14:52 PM »

I'm not sure how decent it'd do but I like the look of it personally.

freeziez · « **Reply #95 on:** August 02, 2011, 03:15:47 PM »

I'd lol if a bot got stuck on those back plows.

They can be moved back a little, so I'm going to do that in the next version.

Sage · « **Reply #97 on:** August 02, 2011, 03:20:03 PM »

Make it wider and it would look better and be more stable.

NFX · « **Reply #98 on:** August 02, 2011, 03:24:36 PM »

I think the two back plows are a bit pointless. I'd remove them, and perhaps swap to Rubber Wheels, and maybe DDT Wedges if you can shrink the chassis a touch more.

This bot has inspired me to build in stock for only the third time this year. Thanks.
