smashysmashy's crapcase

you can try using 2 extenders instead of a t connector if you still need weight for another battery with plastic

If I can't shed enough that could work. Thanks

DP. Status report. Mini - Flaming Whizzer and Mini - Backyard Ripper beaten, along with a few others. The bot lasts well; the irons are strong, the extenders are pretty out of reach, and the chassis hardly ever gets touched. One thing I have noticed (which was pretty obvious) is that the power limits it greatly. It has a great amount of damage and power in the first few jousts, but after that it fades away. If the bot isn't dead by a minute, you're stuffed. So pretty much all of the wins were by de-weaponing the other bot, then not having enough poke to finish it off, and then winning by points.

While rebuilding, naturally my low attention span ran out and I started messing with the extender work. I did what 09 said because Plastic alone didn't suffice, but I messed around a little more. I managed to find this setup, all off one axle and without the Rule of 7. It won't be surprising to me if you've already found this, but I thought it was pretty cool.



Total extender weight: 10 kgs.

That's not an actual bot, is it? Because there is no way it weighs 125.0 and under. Aesthetically it does look pretty cool, though.

[smashysmashy]

Exactly, and thank you :3

I tried building the Plastic version, but honestly I didn't have the patience to stack a CB through 2 pinks.

Personally I've hardly ever tried any of the glitches you guys, so I thought I'd at least make an effort and try to build a non-clone.






It's... meh. I know this should be powered by a nifty, but I honestly didn't want to redo the chassis. The chassis could be shorter and made more airtight. But it's school soon so I thought I'd post what I've done so far.

this is why we cant have nice things.

does the wedge suffer because you put the drive on the wedge bursts ?

Excuses...

[Enigm@]

don't really see what point the wedges serve.

[Skiitzzox220]

It looks cool I guess? But yeah dropping to a nifty would probably be a good idea as you'd have more weight to work with.

[smashysmashy]

Because I was trying a longer body and making a side popup with 2 stacked DDTS, but according to the GCT that's impossible, so I recycled the setup.

To be honest, I don't know. I'll download Starcore V1 and see what happens.

[Mr. AS]

Starcore V1

seriously........................


just skip all the way to v4, v1 seems way too easy for you

Personally that rammer is awful and should never see the light of day again. But I did manage to make a popup out of the setup:






DSA, 5 irons, 2WD HPZ. 2 stacked blacks...

I'm really sorry about the irons, but 20cm and razors were not enough and 40cm and razors were too far. Not to mention the wedge is worse than crap.

By the way, the 2 stacked blacks are on the left, the DDT is on the right.

[Badger]

The wedges are bad because you have your drive on them. Nothing you can do except separate the drive and wedges.

[Mr. AS]

just build everything off the baseplate

[smashysmashy]

Will do, but won't that be awfully generic?

[Virus Bomb]

it's totally possible to make a non generic mw popup with everything mounted on the baseplate.

you almost never want to use irons over razors on popups.

[smashysmashy]

Okay, then. Here's my attempt at something un-generic. (that's totally a word)





DSA, 2 stacked blacks, 2 ramplates...

I probably shouldn't have gone with a setup with 2 ramplates and DSA, because I think 3 razors probably isn't enough.

And that chassis took bloody ages to do right, because I never knew how annoying the HPZs' collision meshes were. Oh well, now I know.

Way too steep... HS's would rape it easily
