Yep, great stack. Nice build too. Great use of glitching. Overall an impressive bot.

Quick LW, Toybox.

249.0, Nifty, DSA. Basically Child's Play IV with an extra razor. Trying to keep extender work to a minimum with my bots.

god I need to make something in stock again

Where'd you get the weight for an extra razor? Asymmetric setup, or is the chassis just more efficient?

Airtight chassis and minimal extender work, mostly. That and I hit the sweet spot to attach the plow directly to the SnapperII again. =D

ohai geice

248.6, Nifty, DSA. 6 maces and 2 irons, standard Z-tek drive. Awesome skin courtesy of Badnik96. Annoyingly does that tilting forward thing all my LW rammers seem to do. I could easily move the drive back, but it looks cuter like this. Also invertible, probably.

I'm not expert, but that seems a bit front heavy. :P
Very nice and compact though. How did you get everything in so close together? Snapper? Servo?

Gazea2 · « **Reply #587 on:** June 04, 2012, 09:50:40 AM »

Hmmm I can't seem to re-create the setup in my head.
To fix the tipping forward you could angle some of the maces down.

Snapper. You can see the axle sticking out the top. =P

And it is obviusly front-heavy, as most rammers are. I could remedy this by moving the drive closer to the back of the bot so there's more distance between the wheels and the front edge. I'll also try mounting the Snapper the other way up, so the axle's inside the Nifty rather than sticking out of the chassis.

You're welcome :D

Better version.

More or less the same as last time. 248.6, DSA, Nifty, 6 maces, 2 irons, pair of casters, Z-Tek drive. SnapperII mounted sideways now, drive moved further back. Doesn't tip over nearly as much, and it's now completely invertible. Also no havok. I actually think this one looks cuter than the last one.

How does Blue Rain sound as a name?

Gazea2 · « **Reply #591 on:** June 04, 2012, 10:42:19 AM »

I think it sounds as awesome as it looks. It's so cuute :3

Fracture · « **Reply #592 on:** June 04, 2012, 02:20:03 PM »

Ew Nifty? :P Also maybe you should go for a four-caster setup at the front, since it will protect more and prevent the tilting that keeps bothering you.

What's funny is that the design might actually be considered as belonging to Trovaner.

Nifty can power 2 HPZ's for 3 minutes. Which is enough to deal with most stuff. And the only two casters were to help defend against HS like Child's Play IV reasonbly well, and keep weight for weaponry/drive. The tilting is because my drive is too close to the front, rather than the amount of casters. =P Hence why it doesn't tilt when the drive's at the back.

Fracture · « **Reply #594 on:** June 04, 2012, 02:47:04 PM »

Haha I meant a Nifty is too much, not too little.

NFX · « **Reply #595 on:** June 04, 2012, 02:52:39 PM »

Oh, I see. I'd just rather not underpower my bots to any great degree if at all possible. Plus I've been repeatedly told that Pinks are fail, but sometimes they're not...RA2 becomes more and more confusing the more I learn about it. =D

So I tried making a Middleweight Insectoid-style thing.

398.0, DSA, 1 Black. Two reasons I'm not happy with it, the first are those extenders holding the wedges on (Rule of seven), and the second is that I had to use Hax Mode to get the CO2 tank in. So I'm not actually going to be using it for combat or anything like that. It's more SnapperII setup practice, really. I'm getting used to using T connectors after avoiding them for ages. I may use the chassis for something else, though.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #597 on:** June 10, 2012, 08:02:04 AM »

You've got 1 kg, could you not stretch the chassis and get the tank in?
Either way, looks good. Love the bottom pic of the front of the chassis for some reason.

Pwnator · « **Reply #598 on:** June 10, 2012, 08:13:10 AM »

I DON'T CARE WHETHER HAX MODE WAS USED OR NOT

IT LOOKS SO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Fracture · « **Reply #599 on:** June 10, 2012, 08:20:24 AM »

Wow. I hope 1 Black is a typo. Does it still easily flip bots over when ramming at them? The iron looks like it would just stop them in their tracks and the piston would just jab at the front of the opponent.
