The whole thing is off a Snapper II?
Wow, just wow.
Its also a VERY nice use of the space.

Not a Snapper II, it's a Snapper 2.  I don't believe in the AI components, mainly Snapper IIs.

Get the AI parts, yo.
The EMERGENCY-Hax-wedges are so fun <3

May I ask why?

[Uncle Knuckles]

Snapper IIs aren't really good for anything but making small bots with lots of stuff eFFe'd on.  The problem is, those bots are never as stable or as wedgey as other bots.  I don't mind Snapper IIs on other types of bots, but for popups (which are my favorite) I like them to be nice 'n' stable.  Also, using non-AI parts gives a fun challenge.

Not necessarily true, some bots are set up on blue snappers and have excellent wedges, like Pwn's Hot Wheels.

Wow. Its gonna take me a looong time before I get as good as you.

This guy just blows my mind with both his knowledge and skill. How long did you lurk?

Long enough to go from (close your eyes now before they start to bleed!) this:


To the bots previously posted.

*Note: that bot was the second working bot I made, and I thought it was great at the time.  I still can't thank you guys here at GTM enough, especially the BeetleBros for their tutorials.

Oh yeah, and before I forget again, I have two questions that have been bothering me.
1. Which is better, 2 Niftys or 1 Supervolt?
2. Why does the motto for the Borg team in Starcore say "Resistance IF futile" instead of "Resistance IS futile"?

[Sage]

supervolt all the way.

How did you learn to snapper load?

[Somebody]

Supervolt weighs less, for the same voltage, and can fit in a lower chassis.

[Uncle Knuckles]

How did you learn to snapper load?

From you o' course
I stumbled upon your snapper loading tutorial on youtube in my first weeks playing RA2 when I was looking for tutorials, because I was frustrated that mine didn't even drive correctly and I needed to see how a functional bot worked.  At the time I had no idea what was going on in the video, and I assumed that the Snapper IIs in the video were some sort of cheat part, because I had never seen them in the game before.  The video barely registered with my mind until I got better at the game and remembered the video.  I found the video again, and I tried it using a Snapper 2 instead of a Snapper II and it worked... The End.

So, um, basically...
Thank you very much Sage.

[Sage]

Hah, thought so. Well you're welcome! Looks like you put it to good use.

[ianh05]

great to see a skilled new builder around, now all you need is your own unique style  .

EDIT: +1 rep, can't believe nobody gave you any yet.

That would be a typo that in 6+ years I am not aware of anyone ever mentioning.

Lol@6+Year typo

My guess is that everyone just read it as a correct version, despite it being incorrect.

Amazing bots. I shall now go rot in a corner.

[Uncle Knuckles]

I made a new bot. 



It's kind of a juggler-true popup hybrid thing called Frankendoodle from one of my favorite episodes of Spongebob, just cause.  It was inspired by Clickbeetle's Backyard Gut-Ripper.  It's a decent bot, and it's really fun to play around with.  The only problem is that the wedges are kinda inconsistent, because when the spinners are spinning at different speeds (which happens when I turn too fast), it bounces a little bit.  When it's stable, the wedges do work pretty well, and it can get under Rabid Pit Bull.  It also does decently against hs's.  Advice is more than welcome.

[Pwnator]

Awesome name is awesome.

Awesomer bot is awesomer.

That's a pretty sweet setup you got there. But I think 4WD and a single popup DDT would be better for that.

[Virus Bomb]

pretty sure it's 4WD Pwn.
 
looks nice.

[Uncle Knuckles]

'Tis 4 wheel drive indeed.
