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.

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 8 razors on a DDT. Use DDTs if you can.

Use DDTs if you can (means only DDT's on a HW) because they are comparatively better than snappers.
