Awesome AW, it's kinda like Ugly Duckling except with a 2nd pink instead of a static axe.

[Mr. AS]

it looks nice and damaging, but when the middle razor comes off itll be rammer bait

[ianh05]

That's why I wanted something tough for front protection, I would try a single razor axle HS with 2 static razors on the front. More upfront damage, more protection and you still get a chance to hit the sides of other bots.

[ianh05]

More AW stuff. Thought I'd have a crack with Fracture's adorable little chassis. Entered into Robo Zone 2, here's XOR.

- Plastic armour

Does this look alright?

[NFX]

Looks fair to me. =) It does flip itself over a little, but at least it's invertible. Most of my bots seem to flip themselves over in some way, that's the downside of ultra-compact designs.

So yesterday I saw this:
 

Well since nfx made a hs/fs hybrid, i thought i'd find a way to remake Zealot with hpzes.
Zealot 2
(Image removed from quote.)
(Image removed from quote.)
396.6 with plastic, 402.9 with dsa 1 black
Any ideas how to lose weight? 2 nifties and a smaller chassis is 2 kgs heavier than what I have now(17.5kgs)

And I decided to return the favour.

398.7, 1 Black, DSA. Havoks a little if it turns too quickly, which could probably be sorted with a reasonable AI line. Not tested invertibility yet, but it'll obviously be compromised with the FS on the front. I can't remember if Snapper-bursted Z-Teks are as fast as HPZ's either, but they're fast enough, I reckon. I'm more pleased with it than the previous version.

I could perhaps find a more efficient way of attaching them to get HPZ drive.

Lovely.

True popup?

[NFX]

Lovely.

True popup?

Yep. Uses the same SnapperII setup as yours, the one 090901 came up with.

[Jack Daniels]

Looks slick. Whenever I try to make a bot with the wheels lined up like that the wedge always seems to suck.  Not sure why. 

Needs moar yellow and black caution skin though.

[Mr. AS]

why are you using 3 blacks (2400 output) when all of your motors (bar srimech) only require 1600, just enough for 2?

[Naryar]

loloolololololol i thought this was a MW at first

Is the caster armor fully protective of your front ? It doesn't look like the top of your chassis wedge is protected.

[Fracture]

Yay I always love the look of these trapezoid chassis wedges. I think it's fine as is; you don't need casters near the top because the Snapper2s would probably fire as soon as the opponent gets near the bottom of the wedge anyway. If you really feel like some extra weight would be useful, maybe just go for two blacks and one Nifty (assuming DDT wedges).

[NFX]

(assuming DDT wedges).

Nah, Snapper2 wedges. I'm gonna give them a try, they seem to be preferred by a few of the better builders around at the moment. More chassis weight, since it needs to be taller, but there's not much point in anything else for a popup if you can't get under your opponent.

You know there are virtually no difference between ddt wedge, snapper wedge, or even blue wedge.  If you replace the same bot with the 3 different burst at the same angle, then run them against each other, keeping a record each outcome, you will find out they are all roughly the same.

[RpJk]

You need to make a pack of your bots, there just amazing!

Yes, but R0B0 posted a funny little LW, and I thought I could do better. Damn my competitiveness.

+ Is pretty good at getting underneath other double HS with its weaponry. Like Tempus Fugit.
- Slightly too havoky for my liking
 
I'm starting to question my super-compact building style. But hey ho, on we go. I've entered a couple of tournaments that are going, but I think I have some explaining to do as to my absence.

holy sh** urjak, robo and now NFX ? i like this

also this looks pretty dope
