Do those top and bottom razors really need their own BA's?

Nice bot though.

As Sircreepalot pointed out earlier, you could remove the separate anchors and put the weapons all on one extender as it's really unnecessary  You could put more weapons and even rotate them to face directions so they hit different parts of the bot as well as fend off some nasty spinners.  Lastly, you might be able to get some irons on there with the remaining weight in case the rule of seven gets in your way.

Looks pretty good otherwise.

@redace/creepalot: due to the way that the extenders are set up, it would be less weight efficient without the seperate BA's, as well as even if i could get rid of the BA's in a way that is saves weight, all i could do is add one razor tip. This is something i failed to divulge(sorry): the bot weighs 248.8 kgs, meaning i cannot put another component on. @Scrap Daddy:with all due respect, imo having external drive in an ironbot style tourney is complete lunacy. everything else, however, i followed.
here's the final splash:

i say swap the razors to irons since razors have half the hp of all other weapons (500 instead of the normal 1,000) if it this is for ironbot jr i would think irons would work better.

i honestly don't think it would be worth despite the ironbot stuff, because while keeping your components on is important, doing damage is equally as important(to get components off of other bots), and with the iron spikes, would be cut almost in half, however i will look at pointy tips...

EDIT: After testing, pointy tips actually turned out to be worse. So razor tips it is.

Well, I felt like making a Bounty Hunter clone. Then I realized that I could make it MW. Meet Bounty Hunter 0.

you are wasting a ton of weight and chassis space by using snappers and not anchors. Unless the wedges are attached to them, in which case it's got crappy wedges as well.

Your Starcore also appears to be outdated. Try getting the SC4 alpha and see how it stacks up to that.

the wedges are attached to the snappers, but they actually aren't bad! i tried V4 and didn't really like it that much, as well as my arenas folder somehow got corrupted, and i don't know if it was V4 or not.

anyway, i felt like making splashes and posting a ton of bots i've made. some are old, some i made earlier today, so the skill levels will vary.

first up, an untold sequel to my RA2 league entry, Gravitic Reversal 2: Gravitic Rev3rsal!


Next, we have an HW multibot of mine: Poison Apples, Poison Worms!(another free cookie is up for grabs if you guess the reference!)


Third, a fairly generic(i think, anyway) HW rammer, Runaway Train!


Fourth, it's a massive Childs Play IV clone, Gimme Pizza Slow!


Next up, an LW HS, it'z Da Wubz!


Finally, LITERALLY THE HEAVIEST LW POSSIBLE, Torpedo Attack!

Runaway train is sooooooo underweight, you can still add armor or more weapons.

1. Is cool like all pop ups, maybe a bit wide at the back though with the kinda cumbersome wheel protection.
2. 2 Solid bots, hows them wedges though?
3. Yeah needs more weight. Maybe swap out the swords too for more irons, bitches love irons.
4. Straighten that battery up and tighten the chassis and you've got yourself a handy little bot, I'm sure there's a simpler solution to the set up at the front however.
5. Large chassis and grannies make me sad
6. ramram

1: not sure i can make the wheel protection any better......
2: wedges are decent.
3: i'll get on it.
4: at some point, i'll take a look at that.
5: chassis is fairly small considering what i had to fit in it, the grannies are necessary because it can't drive without them :(
6: indeed.

or he could just not have the first extender there. Put the first extender off of the anchor sideways.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

I dont really think it needs the back wheelgaurds, as good as they look imo, they should go.  Because if you are getting attacked from behind you are pretty much already boned.

actually, i think that they might help vs attacks from the SIDE... i haven't roadtested it enough, but the front wheelguards definitely do, and the back wheelguards probably do.

You can rotate the snappers holding the drive 180 degrees and mount the hpzteks inside the chassis

Make it larger.

The number one priority on a LW popup is to make it large and durable. Unlike some other bot types (namely horizontal spinners), popups benefit from having as large of a chassis as possible, mostly so that you can make the robot steeper. It also increases your chassis HP a fair bit. What you should do is focus your weight allowance less on what you have now and more on increasing your chassis size.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

@Hercules: i could, but it wouldn't help TOO much...

@mr. AS: the wedge works fine and the chassis can survive a lot, surprisingly. (it can stand a lot of hits from mome rath, for example.)

your bot's chassis is too narrow and with popups the wider the better. the drive setup looks sloppy imo and if you want to use wheelguards you can use just one ramplate on each side by trying something like this.
