Angle the extenders on the tribars 40 or 50 degrees.  It will keep the razors from scraping the ground, and also make it easier to hit stuff that's not under you.

Otherwise, amazing bot.  Kind of like an upgrade to Starcore's T-800 Terminator.

decent considering most of the weight is in the back.

I've used angled wedges before, they can be a little iffy. Constellation used them before i extended them out more.


For once the mods did something right

@Pwn: 30kg.

And honestly they are useless. I think casters act like ballasts as well... im pretty sure Pysc said this once and i had good results with PitA 7 and 8's wedges.

Is it good with 6WD ?

Nope. I made it 6WD to make a 6WD popup. I knew it was never going to be as good as 4WD, because it basicially kills itself against rammers and makes it harder to time when to fire the weapon. The added speed just makes it cool :D

Ballasts are NOT useless. I have proven that.

...Aaanyways, that bot is pretty cool Sage.  I don't know if I've ever seen a 6WD popup.  I would use less razors though and try to get a bit of armor on there.  Also, if you haven't already you should play around with the ballast and find out how much is really necessary for a good wedge.  Or perhaps if you need more.

As far as angled wedges go, they're really not much (if any) better than straight ones.  I just like the look of them.

I had one a while back that I called a "poopup" when fighting Scrap Daddy online. I think Pwnator referenced it on the previous page...

Cool bot though. Aren't 7 razors per DDT a little much though? Other than that, I like it.

That was some dumb ass glitch and you said it yourself !

And the fault of your arena as well. In the hazardless Combat Arena, PitA's wedges do beat ItI's with no problem !

That, and ballasts.
