It's faster with snappers.

But you're right i could just use one snapper - just wanted to improve SB's design.

A few BBEANS 5 fails. Can't stand up to my bot.
Although I am rethinking Melter 2


(Insert Bot Name Here) Mk. 2


Hey Inf, can you send me Absolute Chaos 2, I want to try my bots against it.

EDIT: I guess I never tested Melter 2 that much. One hit KO

I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Like i think i said, ultimatum is probably the worst 36 iron out there. The only special thing was it was the second ever made and it didnt use snapper loading.

Melter 2 looks good, but it's speed is a little lacking.

Go beat tempus fugit SCv4 with a LW popup. right now.

Quote from: Naryar;32131
Did you ever battled Tempus Fugit SCv4 with a popup ??

Okay, and yes.
A 10-minute epic build.
An absolute crap LW popup:

3 pinks
2 Redbird drive
1 Snapper 2
3 razor tips
Grannies after run-in with AUBB pack (accidentally put it on wrong game)

And what it does


A 10-minute epic build is whenever I have an idea for a bot, so I get on RA2, and just build it. That is what the Haunt series came from. That is what Screaming Death, and the Hawk series came from. Also many other unshowcased bots.

AHHHAHAHAHA that's so ironic. you built a crap but, but because you used pink batteries its low enough to dodge tempus's razors.  

funny.

I think it's good

(This coming from someone who's never built a popup successfully in his life, of course)

Use rubber wheels though

Not bad.

Can't you directly attach your drive HPZ's to your Snappers rather than an extender, and save 4 kgs?

I think it would conflict with the side of the chassis.
The real problem with reality is the absence of background music.

Yes, it would sadly. Also, I'm not sure what those 4kgs could be used for anyways.

Are you sure?  That looks exactly like your BBEANS bot just with iron spikes instead of maces.

Also, you can put the drive motors directly on the Snappers if you move the Snappers as close to the edge of the chassis as possible.  I did it on New Look! Same Great Taste! pretty easily.

Besides getting 4 kgs, the main advantage of doing that is to make your wheels less exposed.

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

He could have attached the Extenders from the side one:
Code: [Select]

-------    &quot;
snapper|&quot; &quot;- <--- Extender
-------   &quot;-
           &quot;
           &quot;
        ------   |
        |Ztek|&quot; &quot;| <--- Wheel
        ------   |

&quot; = Connection point

shhhhh!!

ha ha ha just kidding. It is.

I might have just figured out a way to make the drive motors possibly go directly onto the back of the snapper as is with no extenders, need to test it though.

If it works Click, expect a resend possibly.
