And, as usual, I don't get my question answered:pissd:.

Depends on how you stack it ounce. sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesnt depending on the setup. you saw inf's picture on the last page? it wouldn't save that much weight.

try it if you want. you can answer your own questions :D

The Ounce · « **Reply #106 on:** August 12, 2009, 06:24:42 PM »

Tried it, and I can honestly say that it sucks compared to the first one. Thankfully I kept a copy of the first one.

Inf, do you mind if I see the extender setup for your bot?

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #107 on:** August 12, 2009, 06:50:28 PM »

its impossible to see, its a DIY thing

That's it, I'm going back to DSL, but first: Ice Chipper 2:

It's pretty good, but if it loses the plow, it almost always loses (kinda like 3.14-ston). Decent defense and battery power. DSA.

Very nicely built bot. The only drawback appears to be the short reach on the weapon; it barely sticks through the plow. You could possibly put the Snapper inside the chassis (it takes up next to no space when it's vertical; you might not even need to build a new chassis) in order to bring the plow back a little, closer to the motor.

Also, it's just my opinion, but I find wedges on most LW's unnecessary. LW popups aren't common enough or dangerous enough to make a wedge worth the weight, except possibly on some LW popups. Heck, my LW popup Noble Sacrifice doesn't have a small wedge and it does just fine.

That said, the small wedge is a nice insurance against those few LW's that do have a small wedge. But you could do a lot of stuff with 32+ extra kgs...

^^^Correct, but would mounting the drive on the snapper really save me weight?

With Z-teks, usually yes. With anything smaller, usually no. The small amount of chassis space needed for the motors usually isn't as much weight as the extenders needed to attach the motors, especially with plastic armor. (keyword: usually. If you're very conservative with your extenders you can save weight, but it won't be a lot.)

Alternatively you could ditch the wedge and make the extenders used to attach the weapons longer. Still a very cool bot.

Well ZodiaK didn't have a wedge, and it did pretty well.

The Ounce · « **Reply #112 on:** August 13, 2009, 03:43:11 PM »

Better?

Also, that extra extender work is for backup stability if the plow were to be torn off (not that it really helps). Still using DSA.

Reier · « **Reply #113 on:** August 13, 2009, 03:45:07 PM »

Aww....<3 Reminds me a bit of my BW VS.

Sage · « **Reply #114 on:** August 13, 2009, 03:52:17 PM »

Much better. you might be able to attach a 20cm to the top extender holding the bracket wedge and use that to attach the HPZ. would save you 2 kgs. dunno what you would do with those 2kgs though lol.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #115 on:** August 13, 2009, 04:18:05 PM »

screw the extra t extender and use a disk?

The Ounce · « **Reply #116 on:** August 13, 2009, 04:33:47 PM »

Nah, the bar is better because it's lighter and has a longer reach without being too exposed.

The Ounce · « **Reply #117 on:** August 18, 2009, 03:59:01 PM »

Just because I'm bored:

Inf, if you flame me for posting this bot, with even the most nanoscopic insult, I will see to it that my walls will be painted with your blood within the next five minutes afterwards.
Yeah. HPZ drive, 1 black, 12 maces, DSA, pretty much says everything about itself already.

TiLT · « **Reply #118 on:** August 18, 2009, 04:10:27 PM »

I like it. Wish the plow came closer into the zteks. WAIT! It can.

On the 20 cm connecting the plow to the snapper, use the other AP to connect to the snapper, bringing the plow in closer.

And why are your Zteks all weird? And your maces?

Pwnator · « **Reply #119 on:** August 18, 2009, 11:06:17 PM »

@ TiLT - those are component skins from Sage's pack. XD

@ Ounce - if the weapon reach isn't good enough, maybe TiLT's suggestion would work. :D
