EDIT: Why must you complain about the insides?[/IMG]

Because showing the insides can help us give you more significant input.

Anyway, work on your extenders. Learn how to snapper load and you can attach your drive to 2 20cms instead of 2 60cms. For the ramplates, just use the 45-degree anchors. Make the rear part of the chassis thinner, then use the extra weight for longer wedges.

I saw Sage's restocked version of EMERGENCY which had angled wedges, so i'm gonna start trying out angled wedges.

I dont know what you see in that chassis besides the arrow shape. Makes it look like a sloppy bot. Skinny bots always look sloppy.

Use S2 wedges instead of SII wedges.

I'm not sure how S.M.A.S.H. does in combat, but it does look cool. All it needs is a killer paintjob.

to skinny, with out side protection, if a better HS gets around you, it will tear the guts out of your sides!

Looks too long for my tastes. Do what Sage said.

Don't make a random chassis.

Instead of using 2 Snapper IIs, use one instead and mount your plow in there, too. But yeah, be more conservative in chassis points so you could have more free weight. And free weight usually means more weapons, or more protection, or better wedges.

First chained VS

This is Maximum Exposure(yeah, i'm ripping off the shows name).

It's not finished yet, i still need to fill up the remaining weight, give it a skin, and do testing.

Also not much to see on the inside, just the batts, the Snapper II, and the DDT's holding the HPZ's.

exposed extenders = nono

Quite nice, though the single spike strip doesn't do much. Try removing that whole system and convert the shinies to rubbers and add some more casters if you have some weight left. Also, rotate the wedge snappers inwards and simply attach the wedges outward. Same length for less weight. :D

Sage · « **Reply #175 on:** December 04, 2009, 11:24:20 PM »

The more castors the better. You can stack casters in between the ones you already have. Get trid of that useless spike strip and the snapper holding it. That's like, 44 wasted kgs. Rubbers are good on popups.

Also, the chassis doesn't look very custom. Lots of empty space.

Maximum Exposure

I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but that name fits the bot like a glove, looking at those exposed Snappers and extenders. While you're using up extra weight, definitely put some armor in the front there, maybe a few ramming spikes.

On the popup, you should put baseplate anchors where that spike strip Snapper is now and use those to attach the R4 "ears" (I'm assuming that's what you're trying to do). Also, you could switch the position of the DDT's and Snappers in order to get the weapons further forward (that's a good thing on a caster popup).

Both bots look overall pretty good though.

Personally, I think "antennae" is a more accurate term.

For the bot, rotate the snappers 180 degrees and clean up the extender work on the wedges. Also, remove the inner casters, as they don't seem to be doing much. Good job with the axle loading on the wheels though.

Why in the world would you block the ramming weapons? It makes them effectively useless!
