ummmm



Plastic. Might be my ROBONOVA 2 entry, but i'm not sure. Untested, and I had to use anglers cuz regular extenders were too low.

Can't you lighten the extender work ?

Longer wedges or DSA

It weighed around 405-410 with DSA, not too sure but it was overweight. I can get longer wedges with this version, and I can't think of a lighter setup for the weapon motors. Maybe I'll flip the plows over and use extenders instead of anglers?

Hey VB, just rotate the extenders holding the anglers inwards a click or 2, and use extenders on the side AP instead of anglers. Save 4 KGs at least.

@ Reier: I forgot all about your suggestion, I'll try it tomorrow.

anyways, new bot



Plastic, one black. wedges are not at the level I want them to be at, even with shinies and ballast. I'll probably redo.

Instead of a ballast, try putting the ramplates on anchors. That might be better.

One snapper FS. Untested, 2 blacks, and DSA. Of all the bots I have made, this was probably the hardest one to make IMO. I wish I could attach a plow at the top but the thing AGODs every time I do it :mad: . Oh well.

you could use 20 kgs and put rubbers on for a better wedge.

I'll try that out sometime, I just don't feel like redoing the setup right now.



I'm guessing this is the first LW chained HS with 6 10kg weapons, because the other ones I saw used 6 razors, bear claws/maces, and bear claws/razors. I took Spin Cycle 2's chassis just to make one. Doesn't spin as fast as two chained HPs obviously, but still pretty fast. Plastic.

It looks alright, but I'd try and shrink the chassis a bit , and maybe eFFe two irons onto each tribar arm.
