Wedge still fails though

Unknown Identity 6:

DSA, 4 HPZs with rubbers mounted on snapper2s
2 wedge ddts (the further back 2)
2 weapon ddts (the closer 2)
2 supervolts
But still pretty bad wedges

Win - Loss Record
Seism 13 - Loss
R4- Loss
Heavens Sawmill - Loss
Copyright Infrimgement - Win
Bounty Hunter - Win
Death Dealer - Loss
Cardiac Arrest - Win
Absolute Chaos - Loss
Vela - Win

Some of that might be because of me driving though

It's not bad , but the plows are useless IMO.

Bad wedges might come from snapper'd drive.

MUCH better. Still not perfect though.

Naryar · « **Reply #88 on:** August 27, 2010, 02:27:45 PM »

It looks like my first ever HW popup lolz. But probably better.

Thanks, I know that I'm not the best stock builder

In what ways could I make it better?

Naryar · « **Reply #90 on:** August 27, 2010, 02:32:50 PM »

Make wedges wider. Also get another view please because i can't see much with the ramplate blocking the way.

Make wedges wider.

How should I get the weight to do that?

EDIT: Hey, who changed the title of my showcase? It should be just 'VERTIGO'S STOCK SHOWCASE!'

NFX · « **Reply #92 on:** August 27, 2010, 02:39:28 PM »

You could remove the blades if you wanted to, you could get 20kg out of that. What I'd do is switch the weapon and wedge DDT's around, so the wedges are longer without protruding any further from the bot, with the weight distro being further forward, 'cause you'd have the razors further forward as well. And you could widen the wedges with the spare weight as well.

Naryar · « **Reply #93 on:** August 27, 2010, 02:43:09 PM »

You probably can line your 4WD at the end of the bot. like i did on PitA 8 or FB did on the BBEANS5 champion.

Your wedges also would probably be better if closer to the front (plus less weight spent on extender work, and easier self-righting)

Oh and to be a nitpick (but good RA2 building IS nitpicking) rebuild the chassis so the front slope is angled 45 degrees and attach the ramplates directly to the chassis, so you save 10 kg.

Could do, but I like the blades :D

I'll try that

The Result (UI8):

Empty Space! I know

, but...

*Ideas For A Name Would Be Apprecieted*
My first attempt at a hybrid, pretty awesome (for me that is)
Was thinking of using this, or its improved version, in RA2INBOW Gazea, if you approve

JoeBlo · « **Reply #97 on:** August 29, 2010, 05:54:15 AM »

the angle extenders dont seem necessary, also a lot of chassis size could be shaved for more frontal Armour

1) They are, because if I used the side attatchment points on extenders, even with effe, the HPZs wouldn't attatch
2) Not that much really, only the little back section behind the ddts

JoeBlo · « **Reply #99 on:** August 29, 2010, 06:02:07 AM »

wrong and wrong :P

you can use more then one plastic extender to easily replicate that setup without the need for the angles.

and there is a lot of space to be saved.. 2 of those DDT's could be added to plastic extenders on the Blue Snapper to allow you to halve that middle section and make the whole chassis a C shape.

thats how I would do it anyway :P
