You could challenge someone at the Challenge Board.

Here is one of my robots that might compete against Fracture which is called L.A.P.B.B.R (which stands for Life After People But Before Robots) It spins very fast and it does ok for ramming. It is my sit and spin choice. I could make the robot a tad bit lower but would anyone see if it is all right. By the way I am not using this bot actually, it was to fight a half an hour of boredom.

Lawl it reminds me of one of SotG's bots :P
We tend not to use circular chassis' because of wasted weight/space.
You also have some extra weight there and please crop your images.
I'm worried about the reach of it (the wheels might be in the way but idk) plus it could have more weapons on it.
Look at other people's showcases for tips and ideas.

Do you mean crop by taking the white around the picture off

ty4er · « **Reply #47 on:** May 17, 2011, 10:53:34 AM »

Basically.
You could make the picture as small as you can without it being too messy.
Again, you can look at showcases to see whut i mean.
We just really want to see the bot & weight most of the time.

If your weaponry is going to be constantly exposed, irons or maces are your best bet.
In stock, razorz are best for popups.

This another of my MW it is Cassini Pro I do not know if it is a popup or flipper.It uses DSA Armour and has a lot of power. And I do not know how to increase the power of the weapon power if any one know how to please tell me.

You could try getting rid of the horrible ballast, the back weapon setup, and adding more razors onto the front weapons

ty4er · « **Reply #51 on:** May 17, 2011, 12:13:26 PM »

Would help if you had a snapper/ddt wedge on there.
Weapons at the back are pretty much useless and you would need more weapons on there.
Also don't use the ballasts, there are much better ways to use up the weight.
But you are getting there i guess.

NFX · « **Reply #52 on:** May 17, 2011, 12:14:42 PM »

I'd say weaponed flipper. Popups tend to have a slightly different weapon setup than that. Ballasts and rear weaponry are generally not advisable, and I think two Blackvolts are enough to power this design. It could also use a Small Wedge component, preferably on either a DDT or Snapper2 if you're pushed for weight.

RpJk · « **Reply #53 on:** May 17, 2011, 12:30:21 PM »

Here is the robot with added weaponry. I also have a question about the RA2 wiki, is there someone who makes articles of new people if you know what I mean.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #54 on:** May 17, 2011, 12:32:27 PM »

Try making it this shape:

Of course, you'd have to lean to stack to get that exact shape.

RpJk · « **Reply #55 on:** May 17, 2011, 12:49:00 PM »

Is that OK?

FOTEPX · « **Reply #56 on:** May 17, 2011, 12:54:43 PM »

It should be if you use it correctly.

Fracture · « **Reply #57 on:** May 17, 2011, 02:11:47 PM »

Popup: Gets under the opponent and attacks the bottom of the chassis
Weaponed Flipper: Tries to flip bots upside down, but uses a weapon rather than a wedge on a burst motor.

I'd still say that's a (true) Popup because it requires bots to get on top of its chassis before firing it's weapons...what S_M posted is a Popup, and Stock Hanky Panky is a weaponed flipper.

RpJk · « **Reply #58 on:** May 18, 2011, 12:54:14 AM »

Here is my attempt at an angled HS I need loads of help on this because an angled HS is what I wanted to do in the battle against Fracture.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #59 on:** May 18, 2011, 06:55:32 AM »

A good advantage for you to have would be a wedge so you chould scoop under bots and chew them up with your weapon. Also, Middleweights can go up to nearly 400 kgs before it turns into a Heavy. You only need one black and you should get 2 HP Z-Teks with maces on a tribar on them.

By the way, if you don't get what I mean about this, I'll show you a picture.
