I made a lightweight for Thracker's thing.

I don't know the LW metagame so i made a higher powered one.

Both use the same chassis and extender setup. The weapons (surprisingly) don't hit the ground and they compete well. The servo is there because someone said something about servo boosting? I think? I dunno, i remember it being a thing though.

I don't know how to lightwieght

Control board/nifty stack is nice; I can never get those to work. I think the rule is 1 nifty = 2 spin motors, though, so unless that's two stacked together, I think you're underpowered. Wait for someone who knows what they're talking about before you make any drastic changes though.

Thanks for making something for D5, by the way!

why the servo? you dont really need it and can use the weight for something else. If you really want boosting try the blue snapper its way lighter and has more attachment points

I thought i heard somewhere that if you put spin motors on a servo it speeds it up faster than on a snapper. Don't know if that was correct or not.

true but it isn't necessary with this design. if you want them to spin faster then use a blue snapper instead to save weight.

HPZ are overkill but meh. It is okay... but i want it better. I want tsomething to fill up the weight, i am incapable of antohter stack, and expanding the chassis will kill the weight. Drives relatively straight and hits low.

I dunno

I'd probably figure out a way to make it invertible

Drive like that blows.

Sircreepalot2 · « **Reply #88 on:** October 18, 2015, 02:22:16 PM »

Yes! Finally a good lightweight!

Time to send it to Thracker fo-

No...

why...

All I need to do is shrink the chassis, but man I am salty.

Oh man, that sucks.

Turns out the chassis was as small as it was going to get, so i modified the way the dive was setup and it worked out well.

It's a ****strong**** robot, but it's the best I'm getting so

But a question regarding the weapons, should they be set in the middle,

or in front for more range?

Sage · « **Reply #92 on:** October 18, 2015, 10:24:20 PM »

out farther probably.

look at this poop doesn't Mr. AS make these side popup thingies a lot

popup more like POOPup im funny

IIRC it was like 5-6 years back when we started calling 6WD popups poopups. Uuurrggh the (somwhat) old age is creeping in D:

As for the design, if you could find a more compact setup, you'll probably be able to free enough weight for armor or another wedge. There are a couple of designs out there with externally attached bursts or the whole thing on a Snapper II. MWs in general are quite easy to build while being flexible in terms of design so you could probably just play around with the bot a little bit and it will easily improve.

i think me and scrap/robo/someone were all playing ra2 online and someone typed poopup and it stuck.

Mystic2000 · « **Reply #96 on:** January 02, 2016, 06:43:11 PM »

iirc it was scrap and robo, as for the bot, maybe add some armor one way or another

Sircreepalot2 · « **Reply #97 on:** January 06, 2016, 09:42:47 PM »

Now i did the 36H with only 1 snapper and two blacks, plus a plow.

In theory it is good, However,

It likes to drive forward and, weapons on or off, shake uncontrollably. It only does this when both the plow and the weapons are facing forward, but it wont if the weapons are in the back or the plow is hidden.

Silverfish · « **Reply #98 on:** January 06, 2016, 10:05:05 PM »

*Sees the 1 snapper* Unstable much?

Sircreepalot2 · « **Reply #99 on:** July 21, 2016, 01:15:20 AM »

oh boy

but i made one of those spinners

its ok but i want it to be better baybee
