And doesnt the 140cm extender have the same amount of HP as a 20cm extender?

All stock extenders have same HP.

That looks great NFX

one thing i've always wondered is HOW THE HECK PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO MOUNT 5 MOTORS AND A FEW BATTERIES OFF A SNAPPER SO THAT THEY TAKE UP SPACE THE SIZE OF A SHOEBOX

cos whenever i try it fails miserably

Snapper Loading, my friend. Check out Sage's videos. They are a portal to awesomeness.

Also, I thought we decided that the 140cms weren't actually legal. Can't remember the whole debate though.

The extenders are legal if the tourney host says they're legal. But you're right that they're not generally accepted in most cases.

About the bot: don't those extenders break quite easily? Looks cool though.

NFX · « **Reply #266 on:** December 13, 2010, 11:48:14 PM »

They don't break as quickly as you'd think. The bot tends to knock itself away rather than become entangled for some reason. Maybe it's the weapon speed thanks to the larger radius and reduced weight. Yay Higher Physics.

^ living proof of what cool designs we are killing off by not allowing the extender ^

nice work NFX

It crashes my game and I don't know why.

DP: Fixed. Your 140 CM extender was in the main folder.

Practicing Snapper Loading setups. Tried making a super-wedgy popup, and totally failed. =D

794.9, DSA, 2 Blacks, 10 Razors. True Popup at the moment, 60 kgs of BALLAST in the front. Helps a little bit, I've gotten the wedges under R4 and Seism 13 most of the time now.

Double Post of Death.

Finally fired up Starcore V4 Alpha yesterday. After slapping Tempus Fugit around a little with Death By Purple 3, I took Halestorm 7's chassis, and turned it into something different.

Oxide, a FS/Hammer hybrid. 799.6 kg, 3 Blacks, 2 HPZ's with Rubbers, 8 maces and 10 razors. 2 extra ramplates on the side to protect the drive and wedge DDT's. Not sure how effective it is in combat, but I just wanted to make something slightly unusual.

The axe reminds me of Crippler from Robot Wars Series 3 :P

Scorpion · « **Reply #273 on:** December 30, 2010, 09:00:37 AM »

Nice idea actually, it's different atleast

I could actually see that doing o.k in combat aswell.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #274 on:** December 30, 2010, 11:06:00 AM »

If I were you, I would put the face spinners forward a bit more. At the moment, either the face spinners OR the hammers are doing damage. If you moved them forward, both of them could do damage at the same time.

Apart from that, very nice. I like the ramplates protecting the wheels.

Back to Stock for a bit, trying again to make a super-wedgy popup. Duffed up the chassis to start with, but I feel it's turned out quite well

I started out with just an ordinary popup, but the rule of 7 raped me again, and I had about 100kg left to play with. So I put a wamming rack on the front. CB's buried in the front of the right wedge, took ages to get the right position and such. Haven't fine-tuned the wedges either, but they're already quite good. Got under most of the Starcore V4 bots. Self-rights with the weaponry as well, but it tends to kick itself onto the back edge and the wamming rack to start with, then flip itself over on the backswing. Which looks cool. =D

Looks awesome, but could really do with a better skin. Also, what's the weight on that awesome-looking beast?

Oooh, I'm just gonna have a wild stab in the dark and guess it's 796.5.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #278 on:** January 03, 2011, 10:45:00 AM »

I'll go with 798.8.
