That bot looks impressive. Maybe original.

I built a MW popup without a wedged chassi. I recycled it into No Rear Entry. I like it...

It's about time I posted something new here:
(Image removed from quote.)
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?



I love that bot, Great job   5/5 thread

Nah, quite a few HW pop-ups are built without wedges. Ideal Tyrant doesn't have one and a couple of mine don't. Im sure there are others too.

It is pretty nice though.

doesn't come with a readme but you are probably smart enough to figure it out.

Thanks SD!

So, does that mean that I'm still not original?

Let me tell you something Ounce...


You don't have to be original to impress people. And with Clickbeetle taking all the ideas for original designs its getting very hard to be original in stock.

don't be so hard on yourself :D

I know that I don't have to worry about originality at this point, but with Clickbeetle and other experienced members taking all of the ideas before others get to try them, How will I be able to develop my own style later on?

Still, thank you for the support!

Quite a few?  Then what the heck is up with the BBEANS5 entries?

Mostly the good ones (for the most part, because yours looks really good (nice job)) have wedges.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

I apparently have my own "style," so I guess it just comes with experience.

Also, only Click is original anymore. The rest of us are just idea leeches :P

Still having builder's block at the moment, but here's Protostar, my best LW so far:

Tempus Fugit, are you kidding me?!

Pretty much everything's visible, but I can't remember what armor it has.

No its not. But it is a strong bot none the less, even though only logically it has plastic armor.

All Components: 115-113 KG. (Forgot Snapper II weight.)

Chassis can be:

133 KG (I think...)

DSA = Possible.

the one on the left is DSA and I used less extenders to mount everything than he did.

No, not DSA

Components would be around the 190-200 range in my estimates

I forgot the tribar.

The chassis can still be about 109 KG.

I'll post a new LW up probably...

Ugh.

6 maces = 60
1 HPZ = 30
1 tribar = 14
6 extenders = 12
shinies = 24
rads = 32
nifty = 16
CB = 4
snapper = 13
plow = 16
razor = 7

228 kgs. meaning the chassis is 20 kgs. no way it has DSA. for proof, the chassis of nefarious is something like 22-24 with DSA, and it's hecka smaller than this.

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