Snapper loading: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=4512.msg186705#msg186705

Also, tons of patience and chassis rebuilds.

Edit: Actually IIRC he used the more advanced snapper loading methods since there are 3 stacked snappers per side. So yeah, tons of patience in an understatement.

Edit: Actually IIRC he used the more advanced snapper loading methods since there are 3 stacked snappers per side. So yeah, tons of patience in an understatement.

To stack the snappers I used ASAS (Mr. AS advanced stacking), not snapper loading. There's a tutorial for that one in the same place as the snapper loading tutorial that Pwn linked.

I've always said cloning is the best way to learn, and if you can build this robot, the process of doing so will increase your skill tenfold. However, I wanted to kill myself while building this guy. Perfectly stacking 3 snappers like that.... *shudders*

BUT if you wanna give it a go, here's the general process:

1. Build the chassis. Mine was 33.7 kg with DSA, but I bet someone could get it down to 33.0. The chassis is 5 clicks high, instead of 2, because it has to fit the HPZtek (you have to attach directly to the snapper, so it has to fit inside the chassis).

2. Stack the snappers. Like I said, use ASAS. After stacking each one, make sure you can still attach the motors to the back attachment point. A poor stack will mean the motor will intersect. I actually practiced this stack in a large chassis just to see if it was possible, and to get a feel for it. Might be wise to do the same. Do all 6.

3. If you thought that was annoying... lol. So the real issue with this design is that there is no where to put the control board. It doesn't fit anywhere that won't intersect with the HPZteks that you're attaching. You know what you need for snapper loading? A control board. So this is a dilemma. The solution is a snapper loading trick that should be in my video: if a snapperII is loaded away, and you attach something to the rear attachment point, when you "unload" (the snapper resets), the component you attached to the back with swap places with wherever the hell the first thing went. So here's the plan:
     a) attach a RAD to each of the 6 snappers. You have to do them all at once because it's impossible to tell which one you're attaching to when putting on the zteks. Throw a control board in that big open space in the middle.
     b) wire up all of them and sload them all away at once, them remove the control board.
     c) attach a ztek. 4 should face upwards, and two sideways (for the drive). if you did it right, the ztek should disappear, and you can attach the control board again. repeat 6 times.

Should look like this when you're done:


4. Pretty much done now. Just attach all the tribars and wheels and sh**. Sload everything away one last time and stack 2 blacks in the middle. Attach weapons.


good luck

Hey that looks familiar,
and coincidentally, with a similar naming style.  Hmm...

The bot itself isn't too bad, but I would try to shrink that chassis up and get rid of that empty space.  You could get a couple more weapons that way.

It's actually named for plutonium, which inspired me to create it. (Uranium is the other chemical used for the catalyst in an atomic bomb)
