Symmetrical in relation to chassis. Never realized the width of a Snapper2 and a black can give you a symmetrical output.

I like symmetry. =D

Just an idea that I had while fooling around on Starcore 3. Built off 2 DDT's, 2 stacked Blackvolts, 12 maces. probably needs some work at the minute, but I wanted to get it up before I get some sleep. Currently 730-something, planning to use the spare weight to fit a stabilising bar on the back to stop it flipping over under acceleration. Also 'invertible'. Sort of.

Swap the maces to irons so the weapon system has a lower ground clearance to pick up bots easier.

sure does look cool though

HaleStorm's little brother, Blizzard.

MW Popup, 397 or thereabouts. Actually does a lot better than I thought it would. Tried a different weapon setup with this one, and it seems to have worked. Much one-hit KOs.

Pretty nice, except your wedges will have a hard time getting under other wedges. Flip the snappers so the axle is closer to the bottom.

NFX · « **Reply #107 on:** May 21, 2010, 08:56:01 AM »

Oh, no, the snapper with the axle at the top is holding the ramplates on. S'just a bit hard to make out at that angle. =P

Pwnator · « **Reply #108 on:** May 21, 2010, 09:06:15 AM »

Oh, a DDT wedge. I see now.

Isn't 5 razors a bit too much for a Snapper2 then?

[Edit] Oh, wait. OHKOs. I forgot. XD

NFX · « **Reply #109 on:** May 21, 2010, 09:07:33 AM »

No, the razors are on the DDT. The snapper on the right of the bot holds the wedges and the snapper on the left holds the ramplates. I probably should have explained that earlier. =P

Pwnator · « **Reply #110 on:** May 21, 2010, 09:15:34 AM »

That's probably one of the oddest setups I've ever seen on a popup. But kewl. XD

Make it symmetrical in attachment work. Will perform better wedge-wise i think.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #112 on:** May 23, 2010, 10:08:05 PM »

It would be much more efficient if you could attach the ram plates with baseplate anchors. But it's still a nice looking bot--very compact. On first glance I thought it was a LW.

NFX · « **Reply #113 on:** May 27, 2010, 12:14:49 PM »

Haven't been as active as I'd like lately, had a bunch of exams to take care of. But I got some time to try something in Starcore 3, Black Box. The, uh, orange DSA chassis contains 1 BlackVolt 1 Lo Power Servo, and a Control Board. I had planned to kinda "capture" bots in the spikes at the front, but RA2 crashed before I had the chance to. Still not sure what to do with the extra weight, rule of seven won't let me put any more irons on. Fully invertible, somewhat havoky.

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #114 on:** May 27, 2010, 10:54:54 PM »

those motors stick out a bunch. Maybe you could fit 2 plows for protection?

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #115 on:** May 27, 2010, 11:22:32 PM »

that too^ and maybe castor armor incase

Reier · « **Reply #116 on:** May 28, 2010, 12:12:53 AM »

It doesn't need a wedge you guys. What it needs is a few more spikes and the motors closer in. Pretty cool even now though.

My thoughts as well

Sage · « **Reply #118 on:** May 28, 2010, 10:28:53 AM »

Wedges on super fast rammers like that will fail anyways. Waste of weight and it also limits effectiveness by not getting a powerful ram right away.

Hey NFX what font do you use for Blizzard's splash?
