The popup building theory is easy, but not the practice.

You need a bot with a slope at the front. A rectangle shape is enough though you might want to add more sides to minimize empty space.

Add front defense with a little side defense (best choice would be [[Caster armor]]). Then, add some snapper wedges (one at the middle or the bot or two at the left and right of the bot for HW's).

Add front defense with a little side defense (best choice would be [[Caster armor]], mainly on HW's). Then, add some snapper wedges (one at the middle or the bot or two at the left and right of the bot).

You need a powerful drive train and no underpowering. Z-teks attached to the chassis with rubber wheels is a good choice, although you can use shinies too. Just be sure you do have low ground clearance.

You need a powerful drive train and no underpowering (1 black for a LW, possibly one more for a MW, and 3-4 for a HW depending of your weapons). Z-teks attached to the chassis with rubber wheels is a good choice, because of lowered ground clearance, although you can use shinies too if you're short on weight.

It's time to add the weapons. It's basically razor-armed very short hammers just after (or under) the front plating. They must be set up to travel a good distance and the start position must be inside the bot. Then, you must make sure the razor's end position is sufficiently outside the bot to do easily damage 2 razors on a Snapper2 or 4 razors on a DDT are a good rule, although there have been succesful HW popups using 6/8 razors on a DDT. Use DDTs if you can (means only DDT's on a HW) because they are comparatively better than snappers.
