Try rubbers and see if it havoks less.

It didn't help. I think this is just a problem rooted in the fact that I put four HPZs on one blue snapper. I think it's going to be back to the drawing board as far as this design goes.

Actually, if you want to completely remove the glitchiness, just ditch the drive snapper and use 2 anchors instead.

If it's any help as far as your perspective on GTM goes, I've always enjoyed your presence as well as your building style.

This. I was very pleased to see Noodle's Showcase come up in my unready posts.

Same here. It's really nice to see you return Noodle, I think you have a lot of potential.

Hate to overwhelm you with love but....

Welcome back Noodle! Good to see you kicking around again. I agree with the above posters that your building style is great and it is nice to see your showcase alive again.

Hey, welcome back Noodle. =] Nice to see you're back and building again.

36HS looks alright, I reckon. If you could stick a ramplate or snowplow on the front to eat up the extra weight and add some protection, that'd probably help a little. Not sure why it would be so havoky, though.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #307 on:** May 17, 2011, 04:23:34 AM »

I believe it's the old snapper/motor alignment problem. Both their plane's of rotation are horizontal to they move about a lot. BTW, 2 Snapper 36HSs are usually better off with 1 drive and 2 weapon motors on each Snapper.

OMG YOU'RE BACK

... but you missed the restart to my GTM nascar league, sorry.

Holy crap. Had I known that my reception would have been this positive I would have returned a while ago.

Anyway, I'll have a new robot in a bit.

I promised I'd showcase another bot, and I finally got around to doing it.

This one is named Corvair. I was going to keep working on it to enter into Click's new tourney, but I've decided to drop it because I didn't think it'd be good enough.

It's yet another juggler, except this time I didn't do any of that ramplate-clad wedge nonsense. This means it ought to be a fairly good as far as wedges go. The design itself is rather unrefined and rough. There's a bunch of space left over in the chassis, and if I had used razors like I originally was doing then the robot would be ridiculously underweight. In addition, it's rather narrow and probably very prone to damage from HS's and other such flankers. Still, I managed to beat Wide Cut without much of a problem so I figured it was showcase worthy.

Anyway - DSA, stacked blacks, 4HPZ drive, 2HPZ motor drive, two blue snappers, two DDTs

If you swapped the top irons for maces, would that help at all? Also, you could try using casters on the front edges of the chassis to eat up some of the extra weight you have.

Doesn't look very stable.

I haven't had any problems with it.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #318 on:** June 18, 2011, 11:41:33 PM »

Can you swap the top irons for razors like you were originally planning to and then get a fourth ram plate in front?

In any case, it looks quite good, though possibly flankable like you said. A fourth ram plate would help protect the front corners a bit more. Or just stick with 3 and move the edge ram plates further out.

Noodle · « **Reply #319 on:** June 20, 2011, 02:12:59 PM »

Done. I haven't tested it with the modifications but I'm expecting it to be rather good. It was able to cope with the HS's without the extra side protection before, so it ought to be even better now.
