Utterly insane. I don't like the extenders being exposed, though, I'm not too sure how much the weapons would defend them. It's like Parabolic Trajectory 2 on steroids.

hnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg

I question the use of maces, though. I would've spent that weight on a dual Snapper2 setup with 3 razors each, unless you're making it part artbot (like my totally crappy blade-armored popup).

The Snapper2 one actually is useful, to scrap that 1kg off the wedges.

It's smaller then the Snapper II, but weighs a lot more. [/captain obvious]
.....Personally, I find it to be better.

I wasn't comparing the Snapper2 to the SnapperII. I was talking about the exostack.

More true popups hybrids

Built off 1 snapper II
2 blacks
Snapper 2 wedges
Static Redbirds with maces
1 plow
2 ramplates
DDT with 4 razors
4 HPZ drive
DSA
793.1
The plow and ramplates are angled to form a wedge.

Drop the irons for HPZ weapon motors maybe?

Looks good, but I don't see the "true popup" part.

There is a DDT hidden in there if you look closely enough.
 
It looks excellent, but I'd be worried about the VS messing up the wedginess. Would blades on the top of the wedge extenders be better than Iron Spikes on the sides?

Ah now I see.

If it doesn't matter for the wedgyness, then definitely blades are better than those two iron spikes.

Also, I'm not so sure about the maces on the VS. Might get some better gut-ripping weapons on there, like irons or razors.

The motors only spin when a bot enters a smart zone and yea blades are probably better though I chose irons to differentiate from other bots.

I would suggest going blades, or if you want to go original (sort of) an ice pick.

Perhaps it's worth a try replacing the VS's maces with razors and upgrade the redbirds to HP-Zteks.

Too small to be effective. Especially so since the wedge is soooo steep and I doubt the Snapper2s are chassis mounted.

At that speed it's just gonna bounce off everything. Like inf said, too small. Props on the one snapper build though, that's difficult to pull off.

Prototype, Wedged bots go up the wedges, hit the maces, and the irons hit the wedges/chassis/wheels.


Works like Reverend and the NAR AI Saberteeth
797, 2 blacks, Snapper 2 wedges, 4 snappers with 2 irons. Irons were used on purpose for durability.
Will rebuild with a larger front.

Would probably be more effective with RAZORS.
