you can make the wedges wider by rotating the extender they're on

Yeah the wedges definitely need to be wider.

I'm so hijacking that extender setup on the drills. :3

coalescence, almost like... coal miner?

you should probably work on making it faster and wider (AKA try getting V-shaped trappers going on like rabid pitbull does). also, having the spinners facing down like that likely wont let it gutrip much if at all.

We now return to our irregularly scheduled program:

Decent LW popup with DSA and stuff. It's got a pretty good wedge (and a CB+Nifty stack that took forever to do)

Work on the extender setup so you can spend more weight on a shallower chassis wedge.

Extender work is REALLY bad. Fix it so it's less fragile, lighter and exposed.

Build your chassis so your front wedge can't be caught up and thrown away by HS and SnS. This popup shape is very poor for popups.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #487 on:** February 28, 2014, 04:52:42 PM »

Sticking with popups for now:

Tidal Turn

797.6, DSA, 10 razors, and 4 blacks.

Casters aren't sticking out nearly far enough to be useful. Try a U shaped chassis like this:

or this:

The main point is to protect your SIDES, the actual front doesn't matter much.

I might as well showcase my Natural Selection entry now that the SBV thread is up

It's original (the tournament's only FS) but I'm not expecting it to make it too far. Maybe it will get to Round 2. It's not very powerful, but the snowplow and the small chassis should keep it alive long enough when it fights the Heavyweights.

Called it.

Funny bot for April 1st:

One black, 6 razors. 398.2. Yes, it is a 3WD Popup.

Does that actually drive straight? Or at least straight-ish? It would be pretty good if it does.

Almost straight-ish. I can drive it okay. I would never enter this thing in a tournament, though.

awesome

3WD popup... guaranteed 100% on crack 8D

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #495 on:** April 21, 2014, 09:00:38 PM »

Ah, what the

. KOS showcased his challenge bot, so I will too.

DSA, 40 razors, 3 blacks, 1198.3

Naryar · « **Reply #496 on:** April 22, 2014, 05:54:52 AM »

it's cool :D

What I almost entered into Super Smash Bots, but then RedAce entered a juggler, and I didn't want to copy him. Plus, the bot that I am considering entering has better wedges.

The name is Ugly Juggler 2 for those of you who can't see the skin well.

RedAce · « **Reply #498 on:** April 23, 2014, 06:28:44 PM »

I didn't enter it just yet, I'm still thinking it through, so it's still an option.

Not bad though, I imagine it would be better than mine.

Naryar · « **Reply #499 on:** April 24, 2014, 10:06:23 AM »

ugly indeed :S
