Managed to get it all on 1 snapper

(Image removed from quote.)

Few problems:
The bot shakes vertically like it has parkinsons, even when idle. It's actually so weird.
I messed up the ramplate extender work so I just removed it to make it cleaner
Forgot to raise the snapper 2 ticks

I'll remake it tomorrow or friday and get it all right.
What's the extender setup ? It looks really sloppy.

It's pretty bad. I made this ages ago, but IIRC this was the setup:

Where S is the blue snapper, 2 red hyphens are an attachment point on an extender (therefore 4 red hyphens are 1 extender), D is a drive motor and W is a weapon motor.

alright I haven't played stock in forever and I suck. How can I improve this thing.

Beats all the SCv4 LWs I tested. DSA.

that n00b paintjob

Hey Bajur what's with that name?

After spending so much time stacking 2 blacks in a VERY small space, then building the entire bloody thing off 1 snapper multiple times, this got me so salty. In battle I don't think that's the main problem though. It easily beat RedAce's ToughLove2 and my 36(iron)HS. Problem is it can't move with shinies for some reason. Which sucks. Much downgrade 1 tribar from bear claws to razors and see if that gets me grannies. Maybes not, IDK.

eeeh, i'm not convinced aesthetics-wise. mostly due to 2 different extenders and weapon choice, also it's asymetrical.

inb4 sage happens in this thread

The different colour extenders was to make it easier when building what tribars were to hold which weapons. I'll BFE the red back to back, BRB

to help with mobility, try attaching the lowest weapon extender to the side ap of the extender directly attached to the tribar, like this

also that agod isnt anything to worry about. be glad it isnt something like this

razors on hs

Entries for a couple stock tournaments

Didn't want to enter my usual stock generic crap, so I tried to be a little different. The popup has 5 razors on 2 snapper 2s, which are mounter on a blue snapper along with the drive. Runs on a single black. Snapper 2 wedges.

Hi5er · « **Reply #250 on:** August 11, 2016, 05:40:14 AM »

Nicely built, but I'd still say they're pretty generic looking, well, the MW Popup is anyway. The lightweight intrigues me though... The weapons mounted on an angle mount? How does it work?

I think you should build a MW version of the bot you entered for your challenge against Redace, that was certainly not generic.

Badger · « **Reply #251 on:** August 11, 2016, 07:44:33 AM »

The tribars are on an axle mount. Lets them spin when hit by a HS and movle slightly with movement, which allows better gutripping that static weapons without the weight/battery cost of a couple of motors. I got the idea from Gauche Suede's Heli Liver. It's not amazing but it can pull out some wins against HS and against popups it's just a wedge war.

R01 · « **Reply #252 on:** August 11, 2016, 07:59:00 AM »

Can we see the insides of the first one? I think you have another burst motor in there that allows for it to work as a front hinged flipper?

As for the second, was going to ask how that works, but is that really better than building a wammer instead?

idk. It gutrips more than a wammer which is nice.

Removed the battery and CB so you could see better. Used T connectors instead of extenders because on a thin bot like this symmetry is more important so it doesn't drive wonkily. Swapping would only get me another razor anyway (if that). If I had more chassis space (or the chassis points could be closer together) I could offset the snapper to compensate, but it's not a huge deal.

090901 · « **Reply #255 on:** August 11, 2016, 06:02:42 PM »

question: why do you even have the snappers mounted to the t extender? you should be able to attach them directly to the baseplate.

I'm guessing he made the chassis smaller- no wait the other snapper2's are already there. Think it's there for space(althrough it doesn't give much and might make the snapper2's vunerable, unless that position was wanted to have a wider attack hitbox).
So there's usually a Nifty inside that Snapper II with a control board inside the Nifty on top of the Snapper II ?
Thanks for the screenshots.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #257 on:** August 11, 2016, 06:43:04 PM »

For sure attach the weapon snappers first and snapper load the axles away to attach the wedge snappers. then you just use anchors to attack the drive, and ditch the blue snapper to free up a ton of weight.

Hi5er · « **Reply #258 on:** August 12, 2016, 02:57:17 AM »

Guys, the battery and control board are in that gap or I'm sure he would have.

Right, that's why he said he removed the battery(guess that was snapper loaded in there?) CB is probably on top of the Snapper 2.
