wrong and wrong :P

you can use more then one plastic extender to easily replicate that setup without the need for the angles.
Yes, but that would make the same weight anyway

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.
How? Note that the ramplates are attatched to the blue snappers aswell

thats how I would do it anyway :P

build with 20 cm extenders that will give you enough attach options for what you need...

^Better?^
Don't know what I can do for front protection, tried lots of time but its difficult because the ddts stick out so much.
Surprised by the wedge quality, not the best, but I expected them to suck. Gets under rabid pit bull but not neglected waterbug

much better (wasnt so hard was it :P)

you could get frontal protection with an angled baseplate in the middle of the DDT's and a few extenders?

or redo the anchors part to include ramplate attaching like S13 

or if someone else *looks at Pwnator* has another idea

Actually, I'm think of a setup right now that won't make it look too much like Solstice and doesn't need to have a chassis overhaul.
Clash Cubes 1 - Grey Matter (Runner-Up)
King of Karnage - Sideshow Freak (Runner-Up, Best Engineered)
Rust In Pieces - Paper Cut 3 (Grand Champion, Most Dangerous Bot)
Wheely Tag Tournament - Ion Thruster (Grand Champion, along with Ounces' DiSemboweLment)
UK vs USA - Dark Striker (Grand Champion)
Rust In Pieces 2 - Claymore (Runner-Up, Favourite Bot)
BBEANS 6 - Infection 4 (Runner-Up)
RA2 Team Championships - Serious Business, Skeksis (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, and Badnik)
RA2 Team Championships 2 - The Other Stig (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, Badnik, 090901, and R1885)
Replica Wars 3 - Abaddon (Runner-Up, Luckiest Bot)
BroBots - wheebot & yaybot (Runner-Up)
Robo Zone 2 - Dipper (4th place, Survival Champion, & Best Axle Bot)
ARBBC - The Covenant (3rd place, BW Rumble Winner, Most Feared BW)

Made a decent setup (I think):

Side wedges are only there because I had free weight

Not bad. You have my approval (if you are going to use it for the pack) ;). Try and add some side armour instead of the side wedges.

Tried that, didn't work very well, but I'll try again

Yeah, but mines more of a popup, & yours is more of an 'undercutting RAD HS'

You could probably rotate the snapper 180 degrees, have a 20cm extender with the side APs facing up, mount the t-connector off of that, attach the HPZs directly to the T connector. Then, attach another 20cm extender to the first one and put the plow there. Then, you'd get a more compact setup with better reach behind you.

I'll try that, in the meantime...

It looks okay, I reckon if you move the spinners back a little, the opponents should ride up on top of them a little better.

Opponents 'ride up on top of them' quite well actually, but I'll probably change that when I re-built it, (which must happen at some point)

I'm surprised they do, the weapons overhang the top of the wedge quite a lot.

Somewhat like a pitching machine, except it keeps them pinned on the plow. Right?

and I think if you used extenders instead of the tribar, you might save weight
Nvmd, that would kill the exactly 800 weight thing.
