The robot's form and size symbolize the size of the universe. The hollow parts represent the belief some hold that much of the universe is meaningless.

This is horrible and inefficient in so many ways.

I love it.

Obviously clean up work is required for the weapon rests and I should probably redo the back because it actually doesn't line up with the skin. It's also boxxxy and so I hate it anyways. 797ish.

@the VS : i believe 2-mag drive is sorta bad in DSL, and that fast npc is better.

also how is forward speed compared to turning speed ? does it suffer from overturning ?

You are correct about drive.

He turns fast and I didn't notice any major over steering, but the side opposite of the turn will lift off the floor slightly if the robots turns 180 degrees. This doesn't seem to effect performance because it is hard to not face an opponent when they're flying backwards OOTA.

With the hammer bot. Use panels instead of creating it all with extenders that will free up enough weight you 1 give more weapons and 2 give it a wedge.

It's a new robot and a remake of that one on page 2. I'd give it some eyeballs again, but, I have 0kg to spare at the moment.

interesting design. How well does it work?

might look better if you staggered the teeth across the shell panels, instead of having them all on the same plane

I can't help but agree with Kill here. Your skirts will eat damage at first, but you lose one and then your chassis is so vulnerable.

Extender bot chassis are vulnerable?

I don't know what that term means, I think my age is showing here.

Is your chassis not that blue box?
