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

Is your chassis not that blue box?

It is actually a bunch of skinned extenders/armor plates.

Goodness - so your chassis is inside the shell? Then I refer back to K343's point re the weapon reach.

(I think I just remembered that S_M told me that the Ro7 can be broken now because Serge. I guess that's how you do the fancy extender chassis?)

Yep. You can intersect components and use all of their APs for placements.

Hiya pal! Hope you are well! And I'm absolutely an old fart now, I just had a look at some tourney signups and there are all these abbreviations that make no sense. (Though we should really take this conversation out of this guy's showcase)

Dang, times have changed. Have you considered shorter skirts around the side which could free up weight for more weapon reach?

Hello, sir, I need my merit badge collection compleated in order to become an Eagle Scout. Are you in need of any assistance?

Possibly. That or downgrading some of the armour panels as the 120x120 steel plate on the bottom is a big weight sink.

There's kids who walk their damn dog on my lawn and just leave the poop there, and they're always too quick for me - by the time I get out there to clobber them with my stick, they're gone. If I give you my spare shotgun, can you lie in wait for them whilst I continue with my daily routine undisturbed?

O_O you've got a lot of weight down there. I know it's IRL but I'd still want more weapon weight than that - could be the avenue you take.

IDK what setup to use for that giant VS, but I'll figure it out before I get design sniped.

Trap.png

Trap shells.png

SHW gimmick bot that's 1197.something kg. The spinning graspers trap the other robot and let the needle hit consistently I guess. The wheels in the shell are also a gimmick I thought was cool.

Blah, 397.8kg with NPC Fasts. It's likely wedgey because it can actually drive under stuff in the test garage.

Top one is a neat idea. And I think the bottom one needs a skin

So if you can't tell by now, I'm mainly into making big crazy stuff when I play DSL-IRL.
