Because on a popup, there is absolutely nothing to hit while the razors are retracted. On a VS, bots can still hit your weapon and cripple you; the casters only protect the chassis. Upside-down popups have the advantage of being able to survive unscathed nearly indefinitely against HS's.

Agreed. That's why i think it's the design is not that worthy on a VS.

I thought I would be damn close to cloning RPB buuuut...

Nope. Huge chassis took up moar weight than I thought it would and the bot itself fails :P

On a brighter note I have The Boxer almost done.

Haha. I was working on a Coal Miner redo today as well. The fat chassis is a bit of a killer though. Last week I remade Boxer, but it failed so bad I cried in the corner for hours like a little girl lost in the night. :P (because it looked so damn cool when I was finished... but was horrible doing damage)

Is your boxer remake decent in combat?

Ooh! On the Coal Miner rebuild, get rid of the two edge spinners and put a single spinner high up in the middle, pointing down, like on Industrial Coal Miner in DSL. I always liked the tri-face spinner setup on that bot (which is based off a real life mining drill design).

Can't promise it will be effective, but you'll get weight, and it will look cool.

Yea, just looks a little messy. Still cool though.

For some reason it just looks a little bland. But still <3

LOOK SOMETHING GOOD.

4wd, selfrights nicely, AWESOME wedges.

GRAAH I WAS ABOUT TO BUILD SOMETHING LIKE THAT (but with birds)

Is it powerful? 40kg seems like too much for a RAD to handle.

Sage · « **Reply #229 on:** July 25, 2010, 10:25:13 PM »

40 + 15 = 55 kg :)

Schweet bot. Can't see it beating many HS tho.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #230 on:** July 25, 2010, 11:23:48 PM »

It doesn't do as bad against HS as you might think but castor bottom HS eat it alive. I mean leprosy isn't a 36hs but its still good.

I plan to switch to razors and give it some snowplows so it fights hs better. Plus the spinners will spin faster.

Doesn't it bounce?

Pwnator · « **Reply #232 on:** July 25, 2010, 11:43:04 PM »

With RADs, I don't think so. I don't think they bounce in birds as well.

Sage · « **Reply #233 on:** July 26, 2010, 12:21:23 AM »

Razors, plows, and a better paintjob

SCHOOLED.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #236 on:** July 26, 2010, 01:40:53 AM »

LOL at Pwn. :P

I would follow Sage's advice and add a plow and maybe change to razors.

So Sage can't drive or add up? :P
