Actually not too bad. I agree with VB, though, caster looks like dead weight there. Maybe shrink the chassis a bit, and try to get both wedges onto one snapper, unless they're used for flipping.

Use only 1 extender for wedges, they would be more durable.

Wrong. All extenders have the same HP.

Still adds dead weight though.

Um...no?

It's like if you have one 40cm extender, that has 1000HP and 4 kg. Two 20cm extenders combined have 4 kg, but has 2000HP in total. But pushes the rule of seven a little more.

Turn the ramplates 90 degrees

Just so I can get back into a habit of building, here is some design expirementation. ALSO on Monday, I will be leaving for a week!

Not bad, but not good. What armor?

Razor tips are better for popups, you need to do the double extender thingy where you put two next to each other and then can attach stuff to both. And get rid of that vertical ramplate, popups need to have bots go on top of them too. And shrink that chassis.

I always use DSA unless noted.

Okay, I'll work on him after I finish making a moustache for a play.......

That's worse than your previous ones :P

He ALMOST built to the weight limit!

its allright but there is too much extra space

NFX · « **Reply #1133 on:** June 09, 2010, 12:57:51 PM »

Odd way of putting the motors on the bot. Just stick them on the baseplate, it saves weight. And a HW Popup absolutely must be 4WD to be effective against the better-built bots.

Vertical Ramplate is a little bit daft, it'll stop bots going over the top. Make it at the same angle as the other two.

Use the Round Extenders instead of T Connectors, less weight and more attachment points equals more efficient weaponry. Generally, Razors are better than Iron Spikes in terms of popups.

And shrink the chassis, you really don't need that much space. Just dead weight, plus more for your opponents to hit.

I just gotta post this.........

Behold, the first bot to use wedges inplace of Ramplates, a 2-in-1 wheel system, and a, transforming..........POPUP!!!!

Here's the only word that comes to my mind: WTF
Oh, and TG already made a popup using wedges as amour.
Also, we know no you can build better. 13 pages back you could better.

USE. ROUND. EXTENDERS.

And how come the back wheels are in different places in either picture. Which one is the way it normally is.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #1137 on:** June 12, 2010, 10:15:45 PM »

Did you even read the post? It's a transforming popup!

090901 · « **Reply #1138 on:** June 12, 2010, 10:34:43 PM »

It doesn't even change type.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #1139 on:** June 12, 2010, 10:36:19 PM »

It changes it's wheel setup ;P
