HPz's would be nice, (But i can't fit it in there.) but i did fix poptart.

And I also made this one last night.

Damn Shogun reminds me of the day I built Trojan Horse. I was obsessed with Y connectors back then. XD

Still a good design on my view .

You made your shogun a popup, so that inspired me to build mine. But yours is still awesome.
But why a wammer anyway?

*double post*
This might be a planned BOTM entry but it's not complete yet. I'm gonna update it soon.

RedAce · « **Reply #246 on:** December 04, 2010, 08:42:16 PM »

I just updated it. I'm describing most things with excitement details to make it more interesting. (Don't ask why.) The reason the razors are in the wedges extenders is if the wedges fall of (or If the bot flips over) It's good for ramming of course. I wonder if that's disqualification.

I also made this clone.

Pwnator · « **Reply #247 on:** December 04, 2010, 08:51:53 PM »

Side hammer's fine (ramming rack isn't main weapon), BUT WHY THE COMIC SANS? D:

Kinda overkill on maces, though. You could try putting some of them onto the ramming rack (as irons).

And nicely done on the Ultimate Sacrifice clone. You could try spacing the casters out a bit more (horizontally). SnSes might get a sneaky hit on the edges.

RedAce · « **Reply #248 on:** December 04, 2010, 09:23:46 PM »

I did say it isn't a side hammer with an additional (of course) ramming rack.
Yeah your right I went too far with the maces you know.
Maybe for the clone I could do that horizontal caster spacing.

You know BOTM bots are supposed to be secret, right? Don't showcase anything you plan on entering.

And Eclipse has a lot of razors. :O Heroic Sacrifice only has 8... but it has one more battery, and more casters.

The new Poptart looks great; very efficient space management.

Pah ! You call that "a lot" ? Mine has 14

The clone has 14 razors too. :P

Darn! No I didn't.

Next when I plan an entry for another BOTM, I'll follow your advice .

NFX · « **Reply #253 on:** December 05, 2010, 08:23:07 AM »

Don't worry. I made the same mistake on my first BOTM entry when the team name in the battleshot was "NFX.exe" =D

The Side Hammer's actually quite a decent side hammer. Seems to be a kinda standard design, though. But well executed.

RedAce · « **Reply #254 on:** December 05, 2010, 06:31:30 PM »

So I thought my bot Executioner (If you don't know what is Executioner is check page 7) needed an upgrade.

The upgrades are rubbers instead shinys. 8 razors instead of 6. And DSA.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #255 on:** December 06, 2010, 12:15:45 AM »

Almost a Pyscolone popup!

The chassis looks pretty darn airtight, though... I wonder where the 8 kgs you need for a DDT wedge went.

Probably not worth rebuilding just to make it a true Pys popup though. It looks good enough as is.

Weird how the Executioner skin seems to always look good no matter what you put it on.

RedAce · « **Reply #256 on:** December 07, 2010, 05:10:49 AM »

Though I wasn't planning for that to be a Psycolone Popup. But Red Dragon is.

I also made this rebuild of Mini Karnage.

Pwnator · « **Reply #257 on:** December 07, 2010, 05:16:22 AM »

I think the HS rebuilds are more appropriate if they use the same weapons as they did before. Otherwise everything's just maces. :P

NFX · « **Reply #258 on:** December 07, 2010, 05:21:02 AM »

True. And the Psycolone Popup has exactly the same setup as EVERY other Psycolone Popup in existence. Besides Sage's. But nice work, it's an good exercise in Chassis space management.

As for the spinner, I'd be inclined to agree with Pwn on this one. If every spinner had maces, and a kinda "dark" paintjob, the game would be quite dull. I don't particularly want to see the death of razors or irons on spinners.

Pwnator · « **Reply #259 on:** December 07, 2010, 05:23:50 AM »

Actually, the Pys popup challenge was just a test in space management, just like the 36HS challenge nowadays. XD

[Edit] And you totally deserve a wiki page. But maybe you'll get one during Xmas break. :D
