Actually, I'd disagree with SB about the extender thing, there was the stock LW rammer with all the axe heads mounted on baseplates (I think it was Anubis?), and the weapons almost never fell off because there wasn't any weak and vulnerable extender work. I'm not sure how well that'd translate into DSL, though, I might be wrong on this one.

Well it depends on weight and rule of 7.

Normal extenders are not good for holding weapons for anything other than popups. Chaining exposed polycarb extender is just asking to get killed, and chain anything heavier and you have better choices (weapon hex, dsl disk, side panel, beater bar)

So should I keep them on multi extenders or put them on skirt hinges and angle them?

cephalopod · « **Reply #104 on:** January 23, 2011, 11:32:06 AM »

I'd say skirt hinge personally.

Either use the skirts or use less MEs with other extenders (see 123's post) to mount the weapons on.

Skirt hinges it is.

The only LW ram I build looks like this

It was later updated with rubber wheels and caster on bottom.

So kinda like this?

SKBT · « **Reply #109 on:** January 23, 2011, 12:19:02 PM »

Hey that looks just like my bot called

You might have some issues with the weapons hitting the ground but if you did it right it shouldn't be a problem.

dahpretzel1 · « **Reply #110 on:** January 23, 2011, 12:27:10 PM »

@SKBT: Oh my gosh, yeah it does! My weapons don't hit the ground so I think I posistioned them ok. I find that with 2 ant batteries it has most of its power left at the end of the 3 minutes. How'd you get yours to be so light? Yours has 1 more ant battery and the heavy CB Lighter Armor maybe?

dahpretzel1 · « **Reply #111 on:** January 23, 2011, 01:49:15 PM »

Ok so on to the next bot. It's named "Roundhouse" but needs a better name. Suggestions please!!! Lots of empty space and extra weight. Needs major revisions

cephalopod · « **Reply #112 on:** January 23, 2011, 02:04:28 PM »

Yeah, shrink that chassis, use better drive motors preferrably (Mags or astros, in my opinion), use the blue CB and get rid of those random extenders on the motor. Does the belt go through the batts? You may need to check that, and also, I'd recommend using a different weapon. Saws are great but they break fairly easily. You could also upgrade the wheels if you wanted, to Vlads or something if you don't want to.

MassimoV · « **Reply #113 on:** January 23, 2011, 02:24:39 PM »

You might be able to get better wheels.

dahpretzel1 · « **Reply #114 on:** January 23, 2011, 07:39:06 PM »

@Craaig: What weapon would you use?

dahpretzel1 · « **Reply #115 on:** January 23, 2011, 08:17:35 PM »

So kinda like this maybe? Tit1 armor, 5KG left over. The chasis looks big, but on the game it's airtight. I just made the image larger.

MassimoV · « **Reply #116 on:** January 23, 2011, 08:31:54 PM »

It appears like the bladesare going through the wheels.

Somebody · « **Reply #117 on:** January 23, 2011, 08:58:38 PM »

Unrealistic=Bad in DSL.

dahpretzel1 · « **Reply #118 on:** January 24, 2011, 07:48:53 PM »

PLEASE READ!!!! Ok I think I fixed the reality problem. As you can see in 2 of the pictures, the razors clear the chassis. The 3rd picture was just an inside showing. The reason I use a large DSL beater bar as a connector is because the multi extenders, extenders, and anything else that can act as an extender was either to short or to long. This is as close as it gets for clearance underneath. Used the nuclear wheels because of weight. Was gonna use Vlads but it weighed 251.? It weighs 245.? with Tit1 armor. Suggestions, comments, and questions please

Thanks

That's a fail weapon setup... try a master hex plate and 6 razors on it.
