The reach you need to maximize damage is at most 20cm + length of the weapons. Any more and you'll at least lower the damage potential by a third.
So you either rebuild the chassis to move the DDT forward, or dump the weapon system onto a Snapper II for a more flexible setup.

Robot for me and Silver's Robot League team. I took the popup off the bot so our team could compete, giving ti a HS it the middle, plus a cool skin.

switch the squares to blacks, and, i'm no stock aficionado, but i think that you may need one more black, unless the one i see isn't the only one or it's stacked. ofc i could be completely wrong.

how does one obtain this thing?

Sircreepalot2 · « **Reply #69 on:** September 12, 2015, 08:35:00 PM »

If you download the one from the site, you'll have it automatically.

XD i totally missed Mr. AS 's subtitle.

Sircreepalot2 · « **Reply #71 on:** September 12, 2015, 09:02:34 PM »

So nothing about the bot?

Silverfish · « **Reply #72 on:** September 12, 2015, 09:03:31 PM »

once again, i may be wrong, but maybe replace the extra hs with ram plates on the ramps?

Sircreepalot2 · « **Reply #73 on:** September 12, 2015, 09:13:35 PM »

I can't angle that close enough to the slope and any wedges get caught under them.

Silverfish · « **Reply #74 on:** September 12, 2015, 09:14:31 PM »

ok, then i have no advice. great job!

Sage · « **Reply #75 on:** September 12, 2015, 11:18:32 PM »

the HS thing in the middle isn't doing sh**. get rid of it, put 2 razors on each of the other two discs, put the top plow farther back, and widen the wedges.

Sircreepalot2 · « **Reply #76 on:** September 13, 2015, 02:32:11 PM »

How exactly would i widen the wedges? The snappers are as far back as they can go and I don't think that a complex extender setup would be good. Also what should the extra weight from the HS go to?

Sage · « **Reply #77 on:** September 13, 2015, 03:45:16 PM »

Complex extender setup? Literally just add one 20cm at the start of each wedge.

With the weight saved from the HS being removed you could put two ram plates on the front.

Sircreepalot2 · « **Reply #78 on:** September 14, 2015, 03:17:06 PM »

Here it is, Black Hole IV. This thing is slowly getting better in my opinion, and really only have two things I'm worried about. Should i keep snowplows closer, or keep them wide to accommodate for HS and wider bots. Another is the weapons, should i have 4 razors or razors on the ring and maces on the face. Because currently, the bots wedges get stuck under the irons and doesn't get to the razors. And I'm not sure if the ram plates should be vertical or horizontal. It can also self right using the wedges as flippers.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #79 on:** September 14, 2015, 03:30:53 PM »

It looks decent as-is, but Internal Zteks are generally a waste of weight. You should always try to keep your drive Z-teks outside of the chassis, even if it means doing something like this:

Which was achieved with axle loading (aka just snapper loading but with zteks). Wider wheel base means it will turn faster and be able to take opponents by the side easier in a turning competition (which happens more often then you would think).

Keep your snowplows wide. Maybe move them back a little. As long as they protect your wheels and a majority of your chassis they should be fine.
