I put it on the bot exchange. R0B0, add it to the collection. Gauche, you can check out my setup.

and one more thing, which wedge is better? snapper2 wedge or DDT wedge?

DDT wedges are consistently better than Snapper2 wedges, although there are occasions where Snapper2 wedges can be extremely wedgy.

then why does sage use an Snapper2 wedge on Hanky Panky? no space left?

If it works, it works. He did say the wedges were fantastic.

Nice job.

My test results were kinda iffy, to be honest. Infinite still swears that Snapper2 wedges are the best. I would need to dive into it deeper to really figure out what's what.

Well snapper 2 wedges have the axle closer to the ground, making the wedges a little less steep. They also have a little more give than DDTs, meaning you can "bend" them a bit more to put more pressure on the edge.

DDT wedges don't bend like, at all, meaning they won't really bounce if you hit something with your wedges dead on. This can also be very useful. All depends on what testing was like.

In other words, "WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW WEDGES REALLY WORK."

Sage hasn't showcased anything this year. Still gets a vote from me.

D:

While not as weapon heavy as some other FS bots, it has better wedges than most. I used the weight that would normally go into weapons for baseplate mounting the drive and the wedges, which I've found provides better stability and better wedges.

lol but really i just saw fracture's post and built whatever came to mind. Don't judge me too harshly, haven't built in over a year...

With the bottoms of those Snappers~
Were those axle-loaded?

I mean....

I could actually try and make something similar to it, since I can understand/know how the whole thing was put together.
Would be fairly easy to do, too O,o

Mr. AS · « **Reply #1050 on:** December 23, 2012, 06:58:00 PM »

ooo likelikelike

how much better do you think baseplate drive makes the wedges? because ive had bots with snapper'd drive that still have very good wedges iirc. is the ~20+ kg that goes into making the chassis large enough for the bulky HPZ worth it?

The bottom of the snappers were snapper-loaded.

Yea, it's not the most complex build, but getting everything to fit just right was a nightmare.

Yeah, the hardest part of snapper loading isn't doing it, but guessing which part goes where after the bot turns normal again.
