Clean download of stock
Firstly I'd recommend downloading that because you've got your custom components muddled up (although tbh those wheels look like reskinned grannies idk)

I'd recommend two blacks for this, although you probably could get away with 1. The chassis can be shrunk a lot by removing the nifties and stacking the blacks.

As rnifnuf said, blue snappers are the way to go. They're lighter, can be adjusted more easily and have 2 AP's, which allow you to actually build your entire bot off of one if you so desire. As well as this you can shorten the extenders and snapper load everything on to make your bot a lot more compact, making it harder for popups to ohko you.

That's it for now, work on that first and then we'll see what your bot looks like :)

Those wheels are not stock wheels. They are custom components, which are, more often than not, banned from tournaments. Replace them with either shiny hubs or grannies, if shiny hubs don't make the bot invertible.

Those are reskinned grannie wheels what are you talking about.

They are? I was not aware of that.

Either way, shiny hubs are better wheels, but stick with the grannies if it isn't invertible with shiny hubs.

You can make it invertible with shiny hubs very easily, the chassis only needs to be a few ticks tall to fit in snappers and blacks

Here's a rebuild:

Advice?

Good job cutting down empty space! I think you could get by with less armor and a few more weapons though, depending on whether you want an HS or a HS/rammer hybrid.

No need for 90 degree anglers, just use the sides of round extenders.

Based on this, Couldn't you stack the ztek within the black and add another weapon? I'm not that good at stock, so don't take my word for it too much
Edit:z-gem? God damn typos

Looking a lot better! Good job on trimming the chassis :3
At the risk of making it more generic, you could attach the drive to the snapper too. That would give you more weight for a bigger ramming rack or weapons on the spinner. Also as Wacky Bob said, try avoid using angle connectors. Extenders do the same but are lighter.
Good improvement though :3

Maybe a pop-up could help:

Here's a download link.
Tell me if you notice something a bit "different" about it.

You NEED a chassis wedge for it to be a popup/work as a popup. Right now it's some sort of a lame hammer. Aside for that, it looks rather well built.

Well, you see, it's actually my successful attempt at the Psycolone Pop-Up challenge.
Here's a competitive version:

Flat-fronted "popups" can actually work with more armor. See eFFe's Teh Generic!

https://wiki.gametechmods.com/index.php?title=Teh_Generic!

Granted, it does have a slight incline, but it still works more by getting bots in front of it, not on top of it like a normal popup.

TommyProductionsInc · « **Reply #54 on:** May 22, 2014, 12:48:17 PM »

But is anyone impressed that I beat the Psycolone pop-up challenge?

cephalopod · « **Reply #55 on:** May 22, 2014, 12:54:45 PM »

It's not a massive 'challenge', more of a standard for building MW popups.

It feels so wrong, but the second one looks pretty awesome.
How effective is it?

Not too sure, actually.
The weapon is decent, but the drive is awfully slow.
Glad you like it though.
