Why do you need two blacks for 4 Hpz? Also, you are using pole spikes?

For ramming.

Also, Sage, the plow is usually ripped off after the first few seconds, so that's the first line of defense, the other which is the spikes, which are also used for ramming.

Why did you position your drive like that?

Sage · « **Reply #183 on:** December 13, 2009, 06:23:07 PM »

Yes, but you still don't get the power of the first ram. That can be very damaging and very useful. Use weapons for attack?

Agreed with VB. Rammers and its hybrids should be invertible. :P

Anyway, I also agree with the plow topic. Maybe you could use the plow to protect the drive and such instead of the weapon rack. :D

MW of the Cow series

9 maces
1 black
DSA

I've got 25 kg left, any ideas?

9 maces cuts it on a lightweight. Lower that snowplow and use shiny hubs for invertibility.

Shrink the chassis, and attach the snapper first then the weapon HPZ. Axle load it out and attach the rest.

Been a while since i posted a popup. Also, first attempt at a splash

Everything in the splash.

Midnight Sun 3.3 is just you're everyday popup. However, they are some things that you need to know.

Why i added the bracket wedges you might be thinking. As you know a popup with a fast drive, such as R4, can go up you're wedge and fly right over you're, giving less than half a second to time and fire, and on occasion, you'll miss. With the bracket wedges, i have more time to react and fire. With this, the razors will be dead center, right underneath the chassis.

Also, due to about 250 kg being on the front, the wedges are unstoppable. NWB? No problem, slides right under everytime. The main problem is that it's not very fast. Rubbers are actually worse, with those, the ram plates are the wedge. So i'm using shinys for now.

EDIT: Woops, I forgot the weight, it's 796.1

Sage · « **Reply #189 on:** December 28, 2009, 07:59:59 PM »

Not bad. Underpowered. What's the weight? It wasn't in the *cough* splash.

TriTon · « **Reply #190 on:** December 28, 2009, 08:01:03 PM »

How is it underpowered? There are 2 blacks.

Weight's up there now.

Sage · « **Reply #191 on:** December 28, 2009, 08:14:34 PM »

Yes, there are 2 blacks. That covers 1600 power output. With 4 HPZs and 2 DDTs, you have an intake of -2600. To get the full power of the DDTs, I think you need 4 blacks. Although I know that spin motors don't require full power, so I'm not quite sure about this. I couldn't find Click's thread on power intake, so can someone back me up on this?

For a typical HW popup with 4 HP Z-tek drive and 4 DDT's, you need 100 (x4) + 312.5 (x4) = 1650 total BEMIOR, which is about 2 Supervolts.

It might actually be overpowered!!!

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #193 on:** December 28, 2009, 09:54:07 PM »

I don't find anything wrong with overpowering a popup, or any bot that uses a burst as its main weapon. For HW popups or hammers, It would be better to stop at 4 blacks. Overpowering them allows them to fire at full power longer.

The bot looks nice. The reason rubbers are worse on this bot is because the outer ramplates appear to go lower than the chassis itself.

The Ounce · « **Reply #194 on:** December 28, 2009, 11:18:01 PM »

I personally think that you would be fine with 2 blacks. I have a HW popup with the same motor and battery setup as yours and less weapons whose attacks are not even concentrated into one spot as some others, and it is still able to 1-hit KO Absolute Chaos from time to time.

For bots with burst motors that have longer weapons/more weight on the burst motors, like most hammers and Sage's Pulse, yes it would be better to add more battery power.

Sage · « **Reply #195 on:** December 28, 2009, 11:27:59 PM »

Fine.

Remade Enraged Cow

4 HPZ's

Yes, inspired off of GK's Rigadoon Revamped.

the chasis is oversized as balls

Sage · « **Reply #198 on:** January 06, 2010, 10:25:30 PM »

What? No it's not. It's not air tight, but it's still plenty small. Unless I'm looking at the wrong picture..

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #199 on:** January 06, 2010, 10:38:23 PM »

I would be good for stacked bats or something
