For Toybox 2, I was going to suggest angling the RADs down to counter wedges but then it wouldn't be invertible...
<3 the look of Blizzard 6. I think the extra defense should work. How are the wedges?

[System32]

Is the weight lost with the chassi worth the motor arrangement on B6?
 
 

[Mr. AS]

tb2 = <33333
b6 = the genericness, atleast youre self aware, (wow, that was kinda douchey for no good reason.) wonder how well it preforms with shinies instead of rubbers?

edit: i think i built something like blizzard 6, but mine is set up on a snapper and has rubbers, IDK if its better or not though.

I'm pretty sure the chassis without the notch would weigh almost the same as one with it. As weight is surface area calculated apparently.

[Pwnator]

You have no idea how much I wanted to build something exactly like B6 back then. I was so frustrated at making the chassis slope so that the anchors would fit snugly right in front of the snappers. I gave up, made the front straight and turned it into a hammer instead. :P

No, and Exactly. The chassis that is used wastes weight by widening the motor stance.

Well, it would weight pretty much the same.
But yes I see your point about having no gap and a thinner chassis at the back. That would be lighter.

Sadly, Bot building isn't objective. It works, so it works.

blizzard looks so oldschool for some reason i love it

Got inspired by Icon of Sin. Here's another one of my absurdly compact popups that's built well, but doesn't really work.
 

 
Flight Path, sort of a MW Parabolic Trajectory. 398.6, DSA, 1 Black. 6 razors on a pair of Snapper2s, wedge is on that DDT at the back. Started out as an attempt at the Pyscolone Popup Challenge, but I did the maths, and it wouldn't allow me any defenses, so I turned it into this. It can self-right from pretty much anywhere, which is good, but it keeps wanting to turn right. I'm assuming that's because of the SnapperII positioning and orientation.

[Gazea2]

Awwwhh it's so cute and small <3
Looks like a solid build. How's the wedge? They tend not to be great on designs like this.

[Virus Bomb]

too small imo.

[NFX]

Chain LW VS. Because Pwnator.
 

 
245.9, 1 Black, DSA, RAD drive. Does alright. Big enough to remain stable most of the time, but small enough for the disc to kick itself back onto its wheels when it gets turned over.

Looks really nice :) If you could get a wedge on that thing it would be godly. how fast is that weapon?


Now if only I could get more people building antweights xD

Fast enough that I thought it was spinning slowly the wrong way. =D
 
I'll probably put together some kind of AW for Robo Zone 2 or whatever it was you were doing in the future. I've never built an AW before, though, so.

[ianh05]

Hopefully BBEANS 7(?) will be AW's, we need more of them as starcore, mini's, the 2 in PYS and the few others in the 200 teams AI pack aren't enough because I want to do an AI pack battle between antweights.


If I can build some different AW's then I'm sure the better builders such as yourself could come up with something different and more effective.

[Mecha]

I don't know what's about it. i just really like it. :)

Two new bots that I made this morning.
 

 
Blue Rain 2. 248.6, DSA, 1 Pink, Redbird drive. Broadly the same Snapper Setup as the first version, but two extra casters, and two extra maces. Overall not very good, though, it's too slow to cause any meaningful damage, and it runs out of battery far too early (shut up Fracture).
 

 
I hate Stock AW. There is no weight for anything. Once you get the lightest 2WD setup possible, you have 57kg left for the chassis and other stuff. Managed to stack a pair of BA's into each other, plus some other stacking, and get this setup. 122.4, DSA. Probably invertible.

[Gazea2]

Love the look of Blue Rain 2, shame that it doesn't work too well.
The AW looks like something ian would make, he'd be proud. :P 1 pink?

Both of them have one pink. I'm also guessing 1WD AW's aren't allowed, or even if they'd work.
