Everyone's loving those Solstice/Pulse 2 style battle axes it seems :)

Nice bot. I don't like how you don't show the insides of your bot though. And piston popups can be somewhat unpredictable.

"Somewhat unpredictable" ? Does that mean HAVOK FEST ?

Lets see if I can get this concept to work....



Death Wind 2, and the bot behind it is the nearly 1 year old Death Wind. The idea behind both bots was that if the chassis was tilted downwards, the wedges should be better.



Uses bursted drive instead of static drive like DW1. Once again I can't get it to work, as the wedginess is about the same as all my other VSes >_<

Also an HS I made, just because I felt like making one.



4 casters for bottom armor and one black. Havoks when I hold down the key used for turning but I found that if I just tap the key, it won't havok.

I'm a little confused on how you got those middle 2 wheels on there.
I mean they are currently sticking into the chassis, so with that kind of spacing between the Snapper and the chassis, how did you get those wheels on there? O,o

Tilting the chassis downwards is just like any other wedge-improving trick like weight distribution, DDT wedges, etc.  In general it will have a positive effect but it's not a magic solution for getting under everything.


Neat bot, though it looks rather exposed.

Nice! It's like solstice with an FS instead of a popup. I might have to try a different hybrid myself...

And people say there is no creativity in stock anymore. You're really high up on my list of builders. This showcase is always one of my favorites to check.

^^ I lol'd. ^^

Seriously, though, Victimiser looks like an awesome robot. I'm really glad that people still build in Stock, this showcase proves that not all the new ideas have dried up. Not that I'm taking anything away from Sage and Click, but I'd say you were fairly even with them in terms of innovation.
