From experience, the rupt glitch doesn't really work on popups. Doesn't mean you can't try it, though.

Badger · « **Reply #161 on:** July 07, 2012, 02:27:40 PM »

I suppose I'll make a copy and try. Should I bother posting the Hammer?

Thinking about it, would I be able to use the Rupt glitch on AcroBOTics?

I don't think it would work that well, as Gazea said.

Go ahead

Firstly, the crappy hammer:

Also, can anyone tell me why this drive setup means that the bot can barely drive?

logannaruto · « **Reply #165 on:** July 08, 2012, 12:09:36 PM »

Cause it doesn't have any batteries?

Badger · « **Reply #166 on:** July 08, 2012, 12:10:34 PM »

I removed them for a better look at the problem. It is functional, and has all the parts it needs (drive-wise), but it just can't drive straight.

(Image removed from quote.)

um well maybe you should get a cleaner setup first before you try anything, seriously its messy as

if it doesnt drives stright its probably weight imbalance when you put on the wheels

and theres also a good maybe 10kg worth of wasted space in there

and yes, it does need 2 stacked blacks atleast

NFX · « **Reply #168 on:** July 08, 2012, 12:17:35 PM »

The reason the popup cannot drive is because the HPZ's are angled with the points of the motors facing up and down, thus lifting the small rubber wheels off the ground. If you rotate the motors by 90 degrees, that will make it drive properly. You could also remove the 20cm between the SnapperII and T connector to save weight, and the SnapperII should ideally be two clicks up to give the best ground clearance.

hammer doesn't look too bad to me, you'd want a longer wedge though

and the popup can't drive because of the collision mesh of the ztek

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #170 on:** July 08, 2012, 12:56:35 PM »

No need for 3 ddts on the hammer. Use either 2 green snappers or one ddt for the weapons, and try to get a v-shaped or u-shaped front so it can trap stuff. Having good wedges aren't that big of a deal for hammers since they're only good at taking out bots such as hses and rammers so you probably want to drop down to green or blue snapper wedges.

Badger · « **Reply #171 on:** July 08, 2012, 05:27:12 PM »

I'll be dropping the hammer to work on the popup.

@NFX

Derp. I'll change it when I have time.

Also, I can't use MovePixel effectively. Is there any tips/tricks to using it? Because ATM, I stack faster by hand, and it takes about 20-30 mins to stack blacks, and I've just given up on stacking a nifty into a cb.

(N.B. I already know about zooming in, playing on the highest resloution ect.)

just keep stacking them eventually it'll take 15 minutes, 12, 10, 5, and then you will be able to just slap down two blacks at some point

Badger · « **Reply #173 on:** July 09, 2012, 11:35:24 AM »

It's not a matter of practice. For example, just now I literally stack 2 blacks in less than 10 seconds, but I've been trying for about 15 mins on the next pair. It's pretty frustrating.

make sure you're zoomed all the way via the chassis tab, and make sure the view is a birds eye view and EXACTLY looking over the chassis (straight wall of the chassis should be stright lines, not bent to the right or left), switch to components, and place the batt, if it doesnt stack in about a minute of wiggling the mouse via autohotkey over it just go back to chassis rotate the view 90 degrees and repeat

Badger · « **Reply #175 on:** July 10, 2012, 01:32:48 PM »

How can I attach defence to this thing? I have space for a baseplate anchor infront of the DDTs and 100kgs to spare.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #176 on:** July 10, 2012, 01:36:39 PM »

Either casters or ramplates.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #177 on:** July 10, 2012, 01:40:05 PM »

-r4 ears
-ba + ramplate
-extend the chassis slightly (if needed) and put on caster armor
theres alot of options

and i think the H shaped chassis might be hurting more than helping

NFX · « **Reply #178 on:** July 10, 2012, 01:48:02 PM »

Reduce the length of the blades on the wedged by about 40cm or so. Opponents aren't going to hit them too far up, so there's no need for protection there. That'll net you 108kg, so 54kg for each side. A BA+Ramplate leaves 30kg, which I'm not too sure what you could use for. Maybe some R4 Ears, or a small Parabolic Trajectory style wamming rack.

Badger · « **Reply #179 on:** July 10, 2012, 02:39:37 PM »

I'll have to re-do the chassis for R4 ears.

Which means spending > 1 hour stacking blacks.

FML.
