Wow, looks powerful. You can definatly cut down on empty space, and maybe use DDTs instead of snappers.

I'm impressed you won against 4WD heavies and Vortex CE. Although it can be done with that ground clearance.

But:

-Urjak's right
-You need a wedge

Otherwise, decent bot.

EDIT: and i bet that with managing space, you could put these rubbers in the chassis. These definitely need protection.

I left weight over for improvements. It can still sometimes get under bots with wedges.

Go Red Sox!! 2 beat NWB Easy, And I beat him like an AIed bot. Its just when I stopped, thats how he fell off my wedge. You can see the lumped up metal in the front anyways.

hah what bots did you beat? and you defintely didnt beat NW head on, but okay.

Somebody · « **Reply #188 on:** October 12, 2008, 09:22:25 AM »

Here is Go Red Sox!! 2

What should I do with the extra weight?

Urjak · « **Reply #189 on:** October 12, 2008, 10:04:30 AM »

Throw in some iron spikes maybe.

Somebody · « **Reply #190 on:** October 12, 2008, 10:20:40 AM »

I will prove it Inf, and btw, it will be using Go Red Sox!!! 3. GRS 2's weapons, for some reason, were way weaker than the Snappers, so GRS 3 uses the same snapper setup (+ wedge) as GRS 1

Edit: Ha HA!

It took 4 minutes

Nope. I thought the same when i was a beginner in popups, but razors are better.

Why? They do more damage, are lighter (so you can put more, and more importantly the weapon is faster than irons) and shorter (you do need short weapons on popups)

'Like hammers. You don't need many hitpoints on hidden/out of the way weapons that will strike from under your bot/over your bot.

Ah, okay then.

no, it did not take 4 minutes. that popup would get raped by any HW popup.

Somebody · « **Reply #194 on:** October 12, 2008, 12:37:14 PM »

Look at the time between the edit and the post. THAT IS WHEN I FOUGHT THE BOT.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #195 on:** October 12, 2008, 12:39:23 PM »

no, because it takes more than half that time to find the screenshots after taking them and going to a website where you have to wait and upload them and then paste them.

but its okay that you just waited 4 minutes to upload a screenshot you had already took and uploaded.

Somebody · « **Reply #196 on:** October 12, 2008, 01:46:33 PM »

I upload them on GTM, and they go very quick. ACAMS or Goose, do you have any upload records? If so, look for a pic titled "BS Go Red Sox!! 3 vs. NWB" That is that picture.

Somebody · « **Reply #197 on:** October 12, 2008, 02:20:37 PM »

Now I guess that there are no HW Popups in S3, and they are now a new class called "Non-popups"

Edit:Weird, the pic for Spaminator 2 won't show up. Oh well, it is deleted, and I will make another later.

Edit 2: And of Hunter-Killer Tank

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #198 on:** October 12, 2008, 05:41:09 PM »

Well it's cool that you made a MW popup with 3 Snappers. I don't remember seeing that before. How much damage does it do on average?

But there's no way a bot like that can get under NW exactly head-on. You would need to steer a little to one side, so the wedges collide, and hope your wedge is better.

Somebody · « **Reply #199 on:** October 12, 2008, 05:46:10 PM »

It averages about 550-900.
I fight all my matches in the combat zone, and the bots turn around the spikes that my bot goes behind. When it hits the ground it always turns a little.
