Yep. Just one reason to have one Supervolt.

The others include more power, output, and it doesn't take up so much damn weight.

Two niftys would be good. Slims? maybe.

That was such a fail i can't even think of something cutting enough to answer.

_______

And there is space for 7 slims... you just need to stack some of them.

That is a nice bot, and yes, stick to listening to people who know what they are talking about.

I have a bot very like that, I just dont have a wedge and I use Irons.

I've managed to recover most of my bots, but Ice Chipper wasn't so lucky.  Thus, I'm taking suggestions for what I can do with the second version of Ice Chipper.

And as for my team, it's being fine-tuned, but I'll give you a little preview:

I know it's kind of crappy, but that's because this is my first splash and I was using MS Paint.  It took me a total of 2 hours (I think) to complete.

Comments and constructive criticism are welcome as usual.

That is actually a really well done splash, but it could be better.

The bot, eh, its generic now, ya know?

AC was the first ever built. It was revolutionary. Do you see how many 36HS there are now?

You have a point.

:blackeye_smily:Why am I so unoriginal?!  It even looks like Absolute Chaos.

This is why I prefer DSL because there's much more variety.

If you have a wide imagination, you can create unique designs even with limited parts, like all the innovationalists do. :D

you can perfectly build an original bot in stock.

It's just harder to build really original in stock than than DSL because sooo many designs have been tried, and there's more choice in DSL.

All the decent bots I ever built were generic. Ramster, Experimental, Mental Breakdown... The only mildly original bot I built was Stratocaster, which has since spawned several clones in itself.


For once the mods did something right

It's about time I posted something new here:

Am I original now?

  • DSA
  • 2 Supervolts
  • 4 Rubbers on HPZs
  • 10 razors on 2 DDTs
  • Front armor: 8 ram plates, 2 small wedges, and a snowplow


It seems original; I don't really know if anyone has tried to build a stock popup without a wedged chassis before.  It's not really built to take on other wedges, more to take on HS, because there are so many of them now.

I also have a question:







Where do I get Starcore 4?
