ddts, if you look closely at the hpzs you can see them

Ah, yeah, I just noticed. I tried something like that with Halestorm 4 and it really didn't work. I'm not sure why. Maybe there has to be a certain amount of weight between the wheels and the DDT's for them to be effective.

You could try to put those wedges on snappers and then the weapons on DDTS. Snappers are just lovely. All that weight for the frontal armor could also be replaced so you can juggle around with that extra weight. Hmm have you tried thinking about replacing those with those 10kg Blades? Or maybe one plow that spans the front? Not exactly necessary, just some other things to think about in case you want some extra weight. Trying to get those brain juices flowing.

Dare I ask what's up with the lawn mower blades on axles?

And an easy (although costly) way to improve wedges is to add ballast in the front of the wedge. You could get weight by removing those lawn mower blades, or at least replacing the axles with baseplate anchors.

I had the weight,& nothing to do with it, & baseplate anchors wouldn't fit there.

I'll try the ballast idea click, & hope Nary doesn't notice my showcase untill I post another bot :P

I did, and was APALLED when Click posted something about ballasts so I couldn't even post something.

Um, Nary, the ballasts made it better

While I do know about ballasts making a wedge better, I am positively sure you can use something else than DEAD WEIGHT for making the wedge better.

like what

Naryar · « **Reply #149 on:** October 09, 2010, 04:13:46 AM »

Casters ? Ramplates ? Longer wedges ? Weapons as armor ? Batteries, even pinks ?

Need to build in stock more :D

8 Razors DSA, Two STACKED Blacks

It gets under R4 consistantly but can never get under Seism

Horrible extender work though, I admit, although this is probably still one of the better 2 popups that I've made

JoeBlo · « **Reply #152 on:** October 10, 2010, 03:53:00 AM »

you stacked blacks to save space then leave a big hole in the back :P

Vertigo · « **Reply #153 on:** October 10, 2010, 03:55:56 AM »

I couldn't fit 2 blacks in un-stacked though

Vertigo · « **Reply #154 on:** October 16, 2010, 05:04:43 AM »

Just tested it against the entire bbeans ai pack, only bot it can't get under is seism :D

Naryar · « **Reply #155 on:** October 16, 2010, 05:05:12 AM »

That extender work is messssy

Vertigo · « **Reply #156 on:** October 16, 2010, 05:09:33 AM »

I know, but it gets under R4 so I'm happy

Vertigo · « **Reply #157 on:** October 28, 2010, 11:39:49 AM »

2 blacks, 4WD hp ztek

NFX · « **Reply #158 on:** October 28, 2010, 11:50:05 AM »

Are the weapons fast enough attached like that?

Something I might do, drop down to 2WD, and possibly put a bit more protection on the front, I'm pretty sure it's gonna take a fair beating from a decent HS.

Vertigo · « **Reply #159 on:** October 28, 2010, 11:52:19 AM »

1) Yes
2) Possibly, but its speed helps it damage powerful HS also
I can't fit anymore armour on the front anyway without a re-build :P
