err Sage.. can I ask why you have 2 different super-volt skins? :P

great looking design though, I would have loved to have seen something a little more creative with the extra weight though.. we all have high expectations from you :P

@ Pwn- What reier said. Plus, I only used one AP on the snapper, not two. Technically I could build it with a Snapper 2... hmm.. Maybe I should xD

@ Joe- Cause I was using the BETA Sage's skin pack version of RA2, which has 4 different supervolts. The ramplates, I thought, were the most effective use of the weight, but maybe I could do something a little cooler. We'll see :P

Pretty damn crazy. why are the blue maces facing up though? Is it for popups when it's inverted?

We gotta work on a nice skin for Grannies... those are probably the most fugly wheels in RA2 (IMHO).  It is on my list of things to do, but out of habit I keep making that list longer and more complex every day.  :P

Wicked bot. In a weird way, it makes me feel small and insignificant.

Yep, they are just a little bit. Doesn't make a difference in effectiveness.

GAH the setup is so simple yet so confusing!! Nice job on this one though, looks like it took a lot of time with the snapper loading.

and I have a question: Are these HS still considered 36HS with the way the maces are attached? Without the extra extender on each arm of the tribar, it's a lot easier to build.

Yes, I believe so. We can make a 36HS challenge where you must use another extender, but these are still considered 36HS IMO.

Ah I see... I had the snapper on the baseplate with the attachment point facing up. I think I could make one that way, but I'll have to see when I get back home.

In other news, I'm currently in Prague in the Czech Republic. I bought a soviet red army helmet :D

A new project I'm working on. I mixed my piston rammer from a few pages back with Kill's HS killing VS in the Inspiration thread, and got this.

794.2, 2 blacks, DSA. Performs well, but needs to be better to meet my standards.

Any thoughts from you guys before I move on to some more of my ideas for this bot?

Ummm, scoot the middle motors forward?  I can imagine HS's ripping off all the edge razors before the middle weapons see any action.


Awesome bot.  And disc skins.  It's actually a lot like RPB, weapon-wise.

Impossible. The middle motors are actually static (yea, im magic like that xD) so i can't move those. I was thinking of putting the other two motors on top like a VS as well, because it might make it more effective.
