The Shining Dragon, 1 black 1 nifty, 4 razors on a snapper2, 397.8kg

Probably gonna enter this, cause the VS get destroyed by HS and so too does Snake Bite.

if it only has a snapper2 weapon like most lightweights, it just needs a black at the very most. the ramplates look cool but an actual chassis wedge would probably be more effective. also it's hard to tell but the wedge extenders might be too long, making it prone to being flanked

i would actually worry about getting flanked since the arena start potions are offset

i dont like the popup. no chassis wedge and steep ramplate setup like that and the huge gap means its going to get eaten by hs imo

Probable entry to the championship. SB 1 was probably my first bot built off a single snapper that was completely stable and had no AGOD. Evolutionary changes rather than revolutionary in the update (just switching the weapon rack really). Wedges are good.

How so? It's nearly symmetrical :P

Badger · « **Reply #327 on:** September 27, 2016, 09:29:00 PM »

For some reason the drive makes the bot hop up and down, particularly when turning, making the wedges useless. Any idea how to fix this? Has the same issue on Kyoto but the 140cm extenders fixed it, not so here.

Probably because you're using an HS chassis for a gutripper. Make it wider and longer, maybe give it a single wedge too.

09090901 · « **Reply #329 on:** September 27, 2016, 09:40:32 PM »

vertical snappers tend to do that with the way you have you're drive mounted and when you have your drive on the axles.

Aight so I made some small changes

Now it outwedges NWB. wat.

I really dig that, but the DDTs are a bit exposed

eh, bot is max width and the ramplates half cover them. I tested it a ton to get the wedges right (it originally had bracket wedges instead of ramplates on the top, rubber wheels, no razors, and even further back had 4 small air tanks instead and 2 pistons) and the ramplates dies to HS a long-ass time before the DDTs go. The 140cm extenders have no HP too so yeah, they usually go after the ramplates.

Not that that's an issue, the bot was built for the ring arena, so it's made to just shove HS OOTA on the first hit. It usually does OK at that.

Badger · « **Reply #334 on:** October 12, 2016, 11:10:04 AM »

So I made this for retard rumble. Pretty happy with it. Then I clicked test bot and...

Actually end me. Looks like im gonna be rebuilding with sideways snappers.

kill343gs · « **Reply #335 on:** October 12, 2016, 11:14:08 AM »

Absolutely love the design, though.

Badger · « **Reply #336 on:** October 12, 2016, 12:06:23 PM »

Now its so bouncy that the wedges are literally useless. And I was just reminded that we cant use wedges for the challenge. FML. Might just say screw it and make a 48HS or something like that, but thats pretty retarded.

Pwnator · « **Reply #337 on:** October 12, 2016, 09:01:28 PM »

I'm surprised that it's bouncy. Generally bursted redbirds are slow enough to prevent bouncing, although I'm not sure if the setup has anything to do it.

still looks pretty cool tho

Badger · « **Reply #338 on:** November 05, 2016, 09:42:37 AM »

No prizes for guessing what bot inspired me to build this abomination. And yes, the entire ramming/wamming rack, including ramplates, are on that piston, which is attached to a drive extender, which is on that single blue snapper.

Pwnator · « **Reply #339 on:** November 05, 2016, 09:55:06 AM »

It's probably better to have a row of static irons be the top rack and the razors on the bottom one. The snapper still has an unused arm, so you could dump the static stuff there.

That probably wouldn't solve the wedge problem, though.
