The MWs look good but the LW looks too slow for a rammer.

Yeah I was thinking that too, I think I'm going to redo it with faster drive and see how it fares.

Poly extenders should be fine on the rammer, they're not going to get taken off before the razors. But needs faster drive. Flipper looks alright, maybe get rid of the side skirting assembly for some added batteries, or upgraded armour/wedges/drive/whatever needs improved.

Pretty much. I'd drop the number of weapons and just see if I could get the weight for NPC normals.

What I have ATM for the rammer:

I was trying to get it as close as possible as the version I entered into RA2TC2 because I lost the bot file awhile ago.
Anyways, I figured out a better way to the side skirts on so I will showcase it soon.

You can mount the wheelguard skirts vertically, like I did on my recently showcased No Quarter. You'll still be able to drive around perfectly fine. If you upgrade them to steel, and drop the beaters holding them on from Large to Medium, that should eat up some of the remaining weight. Maybe some sacrificial CF extenders somewhere, or an extra ant. Definitely looking good, though, if a little short with wedge reach.

it's cool

it's like Dark July DSL

And yes, rammers are one of the manliest bot types. What is more exciting than rushing towards your opponent and slamming on them with fury ?

Slowly heading on top of them and slowly raping their top.
 :trollface
Looks too slow. If you're going to overarm your bot you need it to be wide too.

that's exactly why TRFBD's are gay

I agree with the width of the bot, ,not so much with speed. It's decently fast for a HW.

That's an insult to gay people. :rolleyes:
Also, 2 NPCF with hypnos is very slow for a HW rammer, and it needs more drive.

It's not a rammer it's a pusher. It doesn't rams it's opponents nor (mainly) relies on speed to defeat them, it relies on it's superior weapon weight to outweapon them.

So no, you don't need speed to win. Not necessarily at least.

Then probably a trapping weapon arrangement would work better.
