2) You're on DSL 2.1, right? Then use razors for this.

3) Fit the motors inside the bot

He would wasting so much more weight by putting E-teks inside the chassis d00d. Anyways, instead of using baseplate anchors, try using multiextenders.

Post by: Badnik96 on April 05, 2013, 08:38:35 PM: You should definitely be using razor tips instead of pole spikes.

2) You're on DSL 2.1, right? Then use axe heads no, irons no or razors yes for this.

3) Fit the motors inside the bot NO

4) Follow this (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=13353.0) eeeeeeh nah

anyways, on the bot..... you could always reduce the chassis to a 1x2 (or 2x1) square and fit everything in that. like so:

yes, there are 3 ants in the example but you could always use 2 if you wanted.
*(example chassis made by Naryar)*

...and fit everything on that. note the multiextenders facing to the sides, try to mount everything off 1 - 4 multiextenders (normally 2 or 3 should do the trick, i built a bot like this and it required 4 though).

another solution is to just use NPC fasts with techno wheels and mount them to the chassis, you will have more weight for weapons and armor while giving up a slight bit of speed.

DSL 3 is just in the Beta stage, it is best if he just sticks with DSL 2 for now.

Start using multiextenders and wasting so much weight on extender work. You also need a smaller chassis.

You may want to start using beater bars for extenders, considering they are also weapons.
