Still is probably the most innovative stock pop-up (next to Seism 13)

While its an awesome pop up, its not the most innovative.. especially when pwn showcased this a month ago..

Funny, it was fully invertible in the bot lab. Couldn't get it to drive straight in the arena. o_O

Anyway, the lame splash is done!

(Image removed from quote.)

So yeah, it's probably the best non-ballasted dual wedge ever. Again, 3 blacks, 12 razors on 2 DDTs, and the rest can be seen.

Yea, but Pwn's is actually more generic, considering he uses baseplate anchors for the ramplates and has a chassis wedge. And has 2 ddts, not 4.

His has a better wedge though xD

What ? No chassis wedge on a stock popup ?

Why not? Ideal Tyrant and one of Ouncey's popups perform well without a chassis wedge. :P

Well, if you lose your armor against a HS with such a popup, you are positively screwed.

A chassis wedged popup, however...

was might thought.. but I figured the "has lots of frontal Armour" card would be played in return

BTTB bot. Loosely modeled after NFX's altitude.

3 blacks, DSA, 3 razors per snapper.

Some battle shots

and the most EPIC battleshot EVAR (1HKO)

Badnik96 · « **Reply #589 on:** June 01, 2010, 05:18:52 PM »

Stag is screwed.

The Ounce · « **Reply #590 on:** June 01, 2010, 06:11:51 PM »

I've managed to 1HKO Se\/ere with a popup before, except I did it AIed.

Looks really good; if it can get under both Hot Wheels and PitA 8 then I'm screwed.

Sage · « **Reply #591 on:** June 01, 2010, 09:43:18 PM »

It's like 50-50 with PITA. Honestly I think you have the better wedge Ounce, just by looking at your bot.

Snapper powered weapons on a HW popup? What blasphemy is this?

...Apparently rather effective blasphemy.

Sage · « **Reply #593 on:** June 10, 2010, 03:23:43 PM »

What might have been my BOTM until I realized it wasn't cool enough. It would look pretty decent with some nice candy, but wouldn't win.

Basically went against some basic stock rules here. Redbird drive on a HW, miniwheels, pinks... etc.

10 pinks. DSA. some weight thats close to 800. FS/Piston hybrid.

System32 · « **Reply #594 on:** June 10, 2010, 03:41:01 PM »

Those aren't rules.

Reds: Good if you need the weight.
RADs: Look at HS killers, Don't see any Ztek there, do you?
Pinks: AW, BW, LW...

On HW's, it's a bad sign, but you bot looks cool with them...

Sage · « **Reply #595 on:** June 10, 2010, 03:51:54 PM »

Well, they're rules for a HW xD

I gotta skin those mini wheels tho, they are gross.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #596 on:** June 10, 2010, 03:54:49 PM »

I like it!

Couldn't you axle load out each individual motor to put on like shiny hubs or rubber wheels or anything?

Pwnator · « **Reply #598 on:** June 11, 2010, 08:46:32 AM »

Ground clearance.

I had to axle load the miniwheels on... and redbirds are surprisingly tricky to axle load O.o yea i wanted the super low ground clearance. Wanted to try something different like that.
