So, I will post more of my OWO entries. While I haven't made a screenshot for my AW, BW, and LW yet to showcase, I have one for my New Blood entry, OverChopper. You may remember this as the bot I asked for help in AI'ing on Discord. Now, it has gone through some changes. The curent version has a shrinked chassis compared to the first version, four magmotors, four hypnos, a 6mag, and a bar made of one 50x200 part (I think), two 50x50 parts, and two large typhoons. Armor is 5mm steel. Also, this bot's upgrade is when I used BFE for the first time, to lower the height of the chassis slightly in order to expose the shaft of the 6mag, and raise the bar a bit, as the unlowered chassis caused the bar to intersect with the chassis

The weaknesses of the bot first, is that since the forks at the front, which is comprised of alu extenders and steel wedges, is attached directly to the multi anchor, it is not flush to the ground, and thus. it doesn't have average wedging capability, though it is still capable of wedging. Second, since the tip of the bar is made of 50x50 and large typhoons, it is fragile and tend to break away when damaged, as i tested on Eye Stabber

You could probably make the whole thing more compact and you could definitely reduce the size of the forks, they look ridiculous IMO

I agree with Olister tbh, I'd move the front drive motors back and that font battery behind the weapon motor, similar to that one on the other side and then adding a front wedge instead of forks, or just adjusting the fork size to suit the bot more.

I think you should make the forks shorter

So, sorry for not posting my AW and BW. I plan to, but since their skins are still wrong, I decided to showcase Saw Transport instead. It is inspired by Ginsu and Saw Point, and it is recently constructed today, which took me almost three hours. It is because Saw Transport is an extenderbot made of armor panels, and extenders only as attachment point for the panels, as well as the weapon support. I have to keep BFE'ing parts, especially the armor panels, though I also BFE the weapon support, in order to make the bot look clean and seamless. Drive is four NPC fasts, with 66cm saws. Weapon is flatmotor with 100cm disc and two large typhoons. The bot itself is constructed entirely out of titanium, with the exception of the bottom plate and the extenders.

For OverChopper, use a 40cm bar segment in the middle and put long segments on the ends, without Typhoon teeth.  It will be much sturdier.

With a fancier skin it will look pretty cool!

Made a DSL-S bot, which is rare for me. It's named Triangle of Doom 2 and made only for this month's challenge belt. It is a flail SnS, with three NPC fasts, three mini Vlad spikes on flails, and three static pointy tips. Armor is 3mm titanium (i think. Maybe it is 5mm, though I'm pretty sure it's 3mm)

Definately better than its predecessor. Speaking of which, I'm thinking of remaking Ground Zero.
But back to the bot, maybe add protection to the motors? IDK, i'm not the best source for advice.

The motors should be fine so long as the bot spins fast enough. I think the extender structure for the weapons/motors could be a lot better, though - here it looks too much like a waste of weight.

Yet again, I haven't readied my AW and BW yet. However, I made a new HW for the Unique Weapon section of Weapon's War of OWO, named Fastdrill. It is a 6WD bot, with 4 NPC fasts and 2 slimbodies. The weapon is a drill made of titanium extenders and a 80cm heavy spike, powered by a flatmotor. The armor is 10mm titanium. However, the drill unfortunately touched the ground, and I'm unable to find a larger wheel that won't intersect with each other. Also, unable to fix the skin resolution too (I use GIMP by the way)

If you need larger wheels you could just ditch the slim bodies all together 4 NCP fasts is generally fast enough for a super quick HW. You might then have weigh for a more powerful weapon motor, like a 2TWMR (correct if that's less powerful that a slim body)

Overall I like the bot I think it's pretty cool man

 Made a new MW as my second entry for Middleweight Mixup 2, named Axe n' Kill

For extra info, the wedge is all steel. And to disclose, I get my calculation for the IRL weight of the bot through Sagaris' calculation. I can disclose it later

So, I decided to clear up the confusion with how I get the IRL weight for my bots from the RA2 weight. I'm going to post three screenshots from my conversation with Sagaris in Discord to show you the secret.

Made another bot. This time, it's a fix to HexaVortex, and I can finally make it work

My only gripe with that is the ground clearance, as I can't find a perfect combonation of wheels and casters while playing it safe, as in having the wheels really touch the ground and the casters not being raised up. Also the wrongly aligned skin too

I should really use GTM more, the amount of things I have made since. But nice use of the calculations.

Haven't made a new IRL bot yet, and while I want to show Stab Runner here now, I don't have the internal pic yet. So here is one DSL-S (I don't have the most recent internal pic of my challenge belt DSL-S LW too), Savage Discs

I'm now going to showcase three DSL-IRL bots I made recently, which are Flipper Time, Fastdrill Gen II, and Darwinian Predator CW. Not ready to post few other IRL bots and DSL-S yet.







Extra notes: Flipper Time uses 40kg counterweight on both of it's panels, while Darwinian Predator uses 10kg counterweight on both panels, but for flipper version, it's 30kg on each panel. Also, the specifics on Fastdrill Gen II is a typo, as I forgot to change the name when reusing Flipper Time's splash
