Naryar, that is my 1st popup, my newest/ 3rd one is edited into my 1st post at the begining of this thread. For some reason I thought that was a good idea.. Wrong. I'll post more pics for this far back in the thread later I suppose.


you reply to your own showcase when you make a new robot, have a look at other showcases.

How do I take battleshots? For the sake of simplicity, here are 2 pics of my bot from the start of this thread.
From the outside.


And the guts.


This is my 3rd popup. 4 razors per arm. 4 hpztek drive. 4 DDTs. 3 black batts. burst mounted small wedges. DSA. Highest hit I've got so far (it was on a stock AI) was 3500. Don't know if thats good or not. 6 pixles tall. 799.3 kg. Thank God for axle loading.
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
         You have relieved me in my distress;
         Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

Hope one of those blacks is stacked.
You also have your wedges on the bad way to BTW.

as i said before, you can make a smaller splash pic instead of posting more then one large pic. make a new bmp then go cut and paste parts from the screenshots of the robot.

YAY. it looks good. Those green snapper wedges are eating up a ton of weight (6 pixels high when it could be 5, huge empty space)

ALSO- put the snappers upside down so the axle is near the ground. This will give you more extender weight and make your wedges a bit better IMO.

Ok, will do, and yes, one of the batts is stacked inside another.

Oh yea. Well I'm about to start remaking Serious cat. But I have a question. If I delete one of my front ram plates, and its baseplate anchor, and layed my snappers down so I could decrease chassis height, and lose 4 kg in extender weight.............. I could have enough weight for a 4th black battery. So tell me... Is losing one of my front ram plates worth a 4th black battery? Or should i keep it as 2 ramplates and 3 black batts?

That's a really fine bot for somebody that hasn't been around that long. BTW, I would keep the ramplates and go with 3 blacks.

I thought for a snapper to fit without lying on its side the chassis had to be 6 pixles tall... And I turned them upside down. Youre right, much better wedges now. Thanks.

like, if you didnt have them, then the chassis would only have to be 5 pixels high. look how i put them on in some of my bots.

Well, building a juggler happened to be next on my list of high ADC bots. I'm too tired to make a splash now, so deal, haha. I must say, I'm very happy with the way this one came out, with the exception of one minor detail... See if you can tell what that detail is in the pic hah.

From the outside.


Here are the guts.


And here are the guts with the disks removed for a better view.


Name is Fiddle. 4 hp zteks for drive, axle loaded to get them super close together. 2 black batts stacked together. 2 burst loaded hp zteks mounted directly on the burst motor, no extender needed, thanks to Tankcat for walking me through how to do that glitch. DSA armor, 8 razor tips per disk, total weight of 736........ And yes. Thats right. I forgot to leave room for a baseplate anchor to mount a snowplow on, for the top of my bot... Still works great though mind you, just have to work a bit harder to keep under them. (I even had enough weight for it...) Very tight chassis, took me quite a few trys to get it just right. What do you guys think?

I think that if you moved the control board out into one of the stick out parts (just move the wedge out of the way), you will have space for a baseplate anchor to add a plow.

I don't know much about Stock Jugglers, but do gaps between the wedge and ram plate have much of an effect?
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

I made sure the ramplates wouldnt get in the way, as you can see.

Was you around all of these years or something? It's amazing you're building at this level if you only started playing last month.

I got this game about 2 years ago, had no idea what to do, used Walrus with steel armor to fight stock AI, never played online... and forgot about the game for like a year and 11 monthes till about a month 1/2 ago. So yeah, I've been really trying for a month or so now. Beetlebros site REALLLLYYYY helped me get going. I gotta keep going till I get that wiki page for some reason haha.

Compete in some tournaments?
