Re_Birthday 2 chassis that pwn wants took take a look:

as you can see, there's a significant difference in the casters position when placed at different heights.

Check the height intervals between each caster. Try increasing that interval by a notch and see if it slopes nicely.

I think that your chassis wedge is too shallow. make it more steep but not too steep, at least 2-2.5 squares back on the chassis grid.

Please don't sue me for empty space(this bot took almost a day to build!)



Inconsistent drive, and DSA.

come on...... you can get a lighter setup than that, try putting the ddts on the snapper2 along with the drive (raise the s2's if needed), you can keep the wedge ddt's on the baseplate though

and less empty space ololo xd

also stop sparkey-cropping

Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

And your point being ? If it will bring him new insight into the game nobody is against cloning. It's when you keep cloning or give suggestions to clone designs after you know how to build that's a problem.

Funnily enough, I made exactly this a couple of days ago. =D
 
And yeah, a 36HS, while built quite frequently these days, can give you a good insight into various bot building techniques that could apply to other bot designs, such as stacking, Snapper Loading, and eFFe glitching. All of these glitches apply to Popups as well, and you can create some real killer designs exploiting the various glitches that are available.

I can do all of that except stacking(well a black, others are fine).

Popup looks pretty good!  Those casters are really tightly packed; I bet you could take a couple of them out with no ill effects.

No.  Most bots have casters with bigger gaps between them than that.  They only need to be close enough to block most weapon hits, they don't need to be airtight.
 
Of course, it all depends on how it performs in testing... if you try it with bigger gaps and it gets hit, then stick with the close casters.  I'm just saying that if you could make do with less casters you could get more weapons or armor or something.
 
Edit:  Or were you asking if I was being sarcastic about the bot being pretty good?  In that case the answer is also no, it does look pretty good.

hey, does mounting an FS like RPBs(but with a lower 2 and a higher 2) on a snapper's hidden AP makes the bot bounce like a washing machine with a brick on it?

RPB doesn't use Snapper IIs. :P

Bounciness mostly depends on how the motors' orientation with respect to the snapper.

so, if the motor is perpendicular to the snapper, will the bot bounce?(given that it's mounted to the hidden AP)
