Isn't hi5er's tournament heavyweight?

This

How does it play out in testing, the weapon reach looks a little shallow and the wedges look a little narrow.

Haven't tested the wedge, but yeah, wep reach is a tad shallow. :P

Okay, haven't skinned/named this thing yet, a few notes:
6 Razors, can 3 shot bots
1 nifty power
Pretty good wedges (can outwedge 2/3 of the 4 starcore v4 bots I've tested it with)
Absolutely PATHETIC weapon drawback speed that NEEDS to be fixed (3-4 second drawback)

090901 · « **Reply #183 on:** August 20, 2016, 09:19:15 PM »

the weapon retract speed is awful because you only have one nifty for power. you need at least a black (a black + nifty is preferred) for bot like this

Badger · « **Reply #184 on:** August 20, 2016, 09:22:10 PM »

I feel like 2 blue snappers are super wasteful for a bot this tight on weight allowances. And you have weight for another razor as-is.

edit: also popups are haram and you should be ashamed

b-but muh symmetry

i agree with what has been mentioned - go for a black+purple at the least and you can probably do 1 blue snapper. i also recommend a wider chassis wedge

I wish I COULD put that razor on. Stupid Ro7 rsnfrsnrsnfrsn...
Also, I thought it was SnS that were haram?
Anyway, did some testing on the wedges. As it turns out, this thing outwedges billy goat gruffiest. Hm.

all of the billy goats have bad wedges man. the hw has a bunch of motors on it's snappers, and if you're talking about the mw then that thing has it's wedges ~~on anchors~~ on a horizontal snapper.

download asai if you want to test mw wedges, the one's in starcore are pretty bad.

Well then have another one!

After some wedge tuning, got it to somewhere between NWB and Insectoid, so that's good.

bro you gotta get out of this habit you have of making the chassis wedge 45 degrees, it needs to be shallower

It is a tad shallower than 45, though yeah, could be less. :P

09090901 · « **Reply #191 on:** August 22, 2016, 04:07:17 PM »

Still looks way too steep. Wedges should be closer to 30 degrees than 45.

also that wheel base is just asking to get flanked

Stop. Rammertime.

Hhmmm seems like a pop up could get under it with ease.

It's for Geice's tourney. Only a couple of bots can even BE popups, and even then, they can't have wedges. That also explains the chassis.

09090901 · « **Reply #195 on:** September 04, 2016, 05:41:57 PM »

you would save weight if the drive was static

I don't think that SnowJob's chassis can fit 3 hpz... Can it?

Fracture · « **Reply #198 on:** September 04, 2016, 05:44:12 PM »

looks good, though you could probably attach everything using one snapper. is it invertible?

Haven't tested invertibility.
If it isn't, I'm rebuilding the drive.

EDIT: Yep, it's invertible.
