Jonzu: What about it do you like?

AS: That pink batt actually helps, without it the bot would not last the three minutes.

It looks Quite good, for a Double VS MW... Though I would take the pink battery off, and make wedges longer.

The wedges are not going to be very good. If you can't live with that, use baseplate anchors to attach the weapon motors, and you'll have better wedges to beat at least some popups and other wedged bots.

You do need only one black. To save weight, you can lower the chassis so the tallest thing that fits is the black without the CB on top, and trim the empty space after removing the purple.

Fauxhawk

Armour: DSA
Second attempt at a Stock MW Popup.

It's bit slow, this one. Also, can someone tell me if it's underpowered or not? I'm not so sure with Stock batts.
As always, untested and it's rather generic, I know.

HPZ's would be better here, and you do have the weight for it. That'll significantly improve your speed.

RammingSpeed · « **Reply #45 on:** April 09, 2012, 03:16:46 PM »

Believe me, I tried to fit HPs in there. But with the chassis size and the way the components are set up, I couldn't.

NFX · « **Reply #46 on:** April 09, 2012, 03:18:37 PM »

They're the same size as regular Z-Teks, only a bit longer. If you move the SnapperII's forward a little, that would give you the space. If you need to, resize the chassis to accommodate, sometimes that's the only way to get it right.

RammingSpeed · « **Reply #47 on:** April 09, 2012, 03:38:55 PM »

Oh. Well aren't I stupid. Again.
Turns out you can fit HPs in. Oh well.

What else can be improved on?

does it have one or two batts

NFX · « **Reply #49 on:** April 09, 2012, 03:43:14 PM »

Icepicks seem to be a bit pointless to me, I understand they're there to protect the extenders. I would rather spend the weight on frontal protection, perhaps a pair of casters. They're both lighter, and invincible.

One. As before, I don't really know much about the Stock batts.

most popups need 2 blacks

1 black = 80 amps
1 nifty = 40 amps
1 pink = 10 amps

any spin motor = 10 amps
ddt = 50 amps
snapper2 (the green one (i think)) = 30 amps
snapper II (the blue one (i think)) = 40 amps [DO NOT USE THIS AS A WEAPON MOTOR]
servo = 0 amps

2 ddts = 100 amps
2 zteks = 20 amps
100 + 20 = 120 = 2 blacks

Thanks much, I'll remember that.

Should ideally have two. If you need to, retract the chassis at the front, and make the wedge steeper. Or three Nifties, if you can get it to work.

Fracture · « **Reply #54 on:** April 09, 2012, 04:01:45 PM »

Shorter chassis. Look for 5 clicks high. Longer wedges (just by 20 or 40 cm) would also be nice.

I would rather spend the weight on frontal protection, perhaps a pair of casters. They're both lighter, and invincible.

Casters could also be positioned so they stick out the sides of the chassis and go through the wedge extenders, to act as protection that covers a smaller area, but is invincible and 4 kg lighter.

Bump

Box of Nails

Only one pink, sadly.
First attempt at Stock AW.

No love?

NFX · « **Reply #57 on:** August 07, 2012, 09:45:27 AM »

ian has probably built something similar. He's the foremost Stock AW builder at the moment, I'd say. It's a good effort to get everything in there, though. I hope it's not too havoky. And usually one pink is enough for AW's, largely due to the weight constraints.

Well thanks for the feedback. ian got me into antweights, I've just realised how fun they really are.

Plastic or DSA? you should be able to get DSA on it by stacking the pink on the control board between the rads or maybe even replace the razors with irons/maces.
