Well that looks decent.

~~Try to do the Pysc popup challenge (3 DDT's, 1 wedge, hpzs with rubbers and an airtight chassis)~~

OWAIT WHY AM I HELPING MY OPPONENT

Actually you are not... a pysc popup is a glass cannon.

^This. After making one I realised that front armour is pretty much needed in the MW class. So many HS...

Alright, this HAS to be an innovation on LW SnS's.

DSA, Nifty, 246.9 kg

Closeup shows setup with lovely exostack + stack.

The Troll has gotten a serious update:

DSA
4 razors
2WD HP-Ztek drive with rubbers
DDT weapon, Snapper2 wedges (their SWEET)
2 mower blades as defense + 2 casters

Beats the stuffing out of my pop-up that I recently showcased.

Depends on the wedges. For popup vs popup battles the amount of defense is completely irrelevant. Who ever has the best wedges (or good amounts of luck) wins.

Mine are sweet though <3

The rads just stack like that? interesting. Also, popup looks messy... doesn't look like the mower blades are helping much, and it's a bit too skinny to be effective against HS.

I thought ACAMS didn't consder the S word a swear.

That popup is messssy :/

Badnik96 · « **Reply #270 on:** August 27, 2011, 04:51:51 AM »

We still need someone to host the friggin' challenge!!

Scorpion · « **Reply #271 on:** August 27, 2011, 07:03:43 AM »

You just need the mower blades further out, move the top one further down and you can get rid of those messy casters.

nightcracker · « **Reply #272 on:** August 27, 2011, 10:32:25 AM »

Guys, I don't need the mower blades further out at all!

Proof:

Well, in order to create exactly the same SWEET wedge the Snapper2's have to be on their sides which forces an asymmetrical setup. Thanks to this asymmetrical setup the DDT is positioned a tad weird which forces me to stack the baseplate anchor for the upper mower blade weird. Other than that I don't think it's messy at all.

Why not have the SnapperII's both vertical with the axles facing outwards? You can have them both sticking out of the sides of the chassis to give a wider stance and less likelihood of being flanked. I can't imagine it'd effect how wedgy it is at all.

Problem is, I've tried that and somehow the wedges weren't exactly the same.

P.S.: It are Snapper2's.

Force of habit. =P

In what way are they not exactly the same? Do you mean one is slightly higher than the other? I'd have thought using the pause button would have solved that.

While placing or while adjusting the wedges?

NFX · « **Reply #277 on:** August 27, 2011, 10:52:10 AM »

Try while placing and see if that works. If you use Pause while adjusting them, they just don't move. Try pausing and going into the test lab and back, see if they're level then.

They will :)

A tip, use pause and F12. While the wedge itself doesn't seem to be moving you can adjust using the F12 lines.

Yep. Happens to most Snapper2 wedges.
