uh you 100% have the 140cm extenders. theyre included in the 1.4 version and that's the only dl on the site.

the only way you wouldn't have them is if you installed ra2 from a disk

1.4 crashed on me. I combined v1.4's components with a disk copy, and... no 140 cm. extender.

it's too steep too narrow and the middle spikes are just a colossal waste of weight since the extender is just going to get hit right away and fall off

Okay, I see why. However, it works like a snare. The steep wedge is only designed to get bots close enough to the weapon. To take damage.
The hammer is designed for striking popups.

Losing the hammer. That’s why it has flipping irons. Although the flipping irons are crucial, the hammer is the most damaging. The flipping irons serve as the secondary weapon, damaging bots that manage to break that hammer.

Great idea about the hammer, though, 090901. It does need to be rebuilt so the extenders aren’t as exposed.

razors do more damage than irons and as such are better on popups like this, not to mention itll make your weapons more powerful with the reduced weight

but i'm sure you'll come up with some bs as to why your bot was designed that way and you wont change it so keep cranking out the masterpieces o god-king of ra2

The irons take more damage than razors. On a design like this, durability is key. I can’t tell you how funny it is when this bot snaps razors off of popups- it’s like whack-a-mole.

If the weapons were more protected- razors. Otherwise, irons aren’t that bad of an idea, since they can tolerate more damage.

Durability on popups is not what you really want to do. Any gud popup can ko that "durable" bot ez, so i would listen to Badnik

I tested it. It broke the razors off its opponents.

No durable popup? Non-durable popups get absolutely devastated in a fight.

I'm gonna ignore the less satisfactory bots and leave those for others to comment.

Your MW popup looks pretty great. I'd suggest swapping out the spike strips for ramplates since the DDTs are pretty exposed. An alternative would be to use the other orientation of the snapper (arm coming out of the rear and hidden AP facing the front) so that the weapon motors are protected by the chassis, but at the cost of a smaller firing arc.

Your Insectoid clone needs a bit more work. The reason it deals a lot of damage is because the ramplates hold the opponent back so the pistons are firing at close to maximum speed before making contact. So either push the weapon system back or the plows forward.

The LW popup can get away with a thinner chassis. Just attach the razors on the snapper2 and axle load the whole thing out so you can squeeze your wedge snapper2 right beside it. I'm unsure if the thinner chassis allows you to extend the wedge by 20cm, but it's worth a shot.

Okay. The LW popup will be rebooted, and the HW poker will be modified so the pistons are further back. (if possible..)
The MW popup weighs 398 kg. so it will be hard to modify it.
