Make the razors pointing in the same way. Probably more damage.

I'm talking about the way it is on your bot P for Plucky. Is what you said for that kind of Snapper II stacking?

haha umm no. the key to stacking anything is in the angle of view. keep rotating the camera, and it will work eventually.

Oh well, gave up on the stacking the Snappers.

Here are my probable RAW 2 bots:

Hadron

Stacked Black batteries
DSA
393.1 Kgs (with sz)

Collider

CB stacked in Black Battery
DSA
396.7 Kgs

They are named after the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland and France.

A total of 789.8kgs.

Hadon looks like a bad re-do of 3-2-1 Blast off. The look ok.

On Collider, Grannies and casters are worthless when you can use shinies.

The shinies, something about them makes the robot absolutely unable to drive in a straight line. Much like New Catfish 3 from BBEANS 3. Just watch those vids to get a good idea of how collider drives with shinies.

Probably the tip of your HPZ's touching the ground. You need to put them like that:

.._..
/...\
\._/.    => Z-tek
_____ => Ground

In other terms, make one side of the hexagon parallel to the ground, like on most of my bots.

It was originally 4WD, but I took out two, and never switched the motors because... Idk.

The casters protect the all-important T-Connector, so the shall stay.

Mm hmm


AIed First try.

EDIT:
I just tried to fix the motors, and, um, they can't be fixed the way they are attached


Only 1 side AP

And you're on the forums since nearly 10 months ?



(I would be able to build better but that's just an example)

Shinies. Turns faster. No casters since the T connector is INSIDE the chassis.

Surprised me by driving perfectly straight forward and backward.

*Slaps self in forehead*

I watched the Tag Team Tournament final, and have a new bot that beats Collider easily, along with many bots Collider couldn't beat, but it is in the revision stages.

Does anybody have a 36 mace HS that they could send me so I could test my BBEANS 5 bot against it?

If you're going to do that then there's not even any point of the Snapper II's.  Just use baseplate anchors.
