It looks like some sort of spikey deep sea creature. Probably not a chance in

to put a wedge on that thing to thwart popups eh? It certainly is unique. Is the powerful drive really that necessary?

4wd hp ztek isn't THAT fast.

Also, a bot like this will lose to popups with or without a wedge, just because of the design.

you could use some caster armor and granny wheels

I think maybe a wider opening on the rammer would help it trap better.

^^Heyyyyyyyyy I was gonna say that^^

Also, what do those casters do?

Needs a wedge

Exactly.

I thought my extender work would be too exposed. It turns out it wasn't, thus the casters are useless. XD

Thanks!

Here's the final version:

Extenders and wheels are now more protected, and now it performs much better.

Now it looks cooler. Does it Havok when turning?

I was going to say that... it might be even the coolest Stock HW rammer i've ever seen

The Ounce · « **Reply #210 on:** May 02, 2010, 05:30:02 PM »

Made this yesterday:

4 normal Z-Teks, 12 maces, plastic armor, CB stacked into battery.

Took some time to find an efficient setup, and it's actually not too bad. Lack of front armor is a problem, but I can't do much about that (maybe switch to Irons?).

Pwnator · « **Reply #211 on:** May 02, 2010, 10:04:52 PM »

Hahahaha Blue Giant's chassis is very useful. XD

You could probably change the top bars to irons. Actually, I'm thingking of turning the whole thing over so the inner tribars are the ones under the bot. So when you change those to irons, it'll fare better against popups.

The Ounce · « **Reply #212 on:** May 02, 2010, 11:07:21 PM »

Except that's not Blue Giant's chassis. :P

I've actually made a version with all Irons, and it does somewhat better than the mace version, mainly because of longer reach, but I could try your suggestions.

Sage · « **Reply #213 on:** May 02, 2010, 11:51:00 PM »

Mace = Better against HS
Iron = Better against almost everything else.

Mole Cricket, a Juggler/Poker design I came up with yesterday:

DSA, 2 stacked blacks, 14 razors, 4 irons.

Pretty deadly once it gets under you, but I'm planning on moving the SZ farther back, and maybe getting rid of the trapper to replace some of the razors with irons (the bots hardly go past the disks anyway).

In theory the wedges should be good because most of its weight is in front of the wedge, but by today's standards they pretty much suck

. At least it's not because of AGOD.

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #215 on:** May 28, 2010, 05:06:48 PM »

The wedges might suck because the DDTs are too far back, but I could be wrong.

Reier · « **Reply #216 on:** May 28, 2010, 05:39:13 PM »

Neat idea Ouncey.

Sage · « **Reply #217 on:** May 28, 2010, 11:08:20 PM »

No, most of the weight is in the back of the bot. That's why the wedges aren't that good.

nicsan2009 · « **Reply #218 on:** May 28, 2010, 11:09:52 PM »

i bet neglected water bug could destroy it because of the bad wedge

Pwnator · « **Reply #219 on:** May 28, 2010, 11:19:04 PM »

Most gut-rippers destroy gut-rippers with worse wedges.
