"we need a bot that looks like an alligator"
                                                -William Shakespeare

Never mind aesthetics and combat effectiveness.  The biggest problem is clearly that it doesn't look like an alligator.  Give it clamping jaws and a tail, then we can talk details.

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

Better, though it is crude. Make it so it looks more like an alligator.

Great. Just when I abandon my years-old alligator avatar you guys start talking about them.
The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

An extender framework (or beater bars, if you can get the weight) with rows of spikes would look better, and be better.  Also the tail should be on an axle so it swings around.

Blood brothers is IRL.
Nonetheless, I think that bot still counts as IRL.(Maybe.)

Nice bot, though.

T extenders, angled extenders, slimbodies, and taz wheels are pretty bad compared to other parts in DSL.

the razer claw doesnt fit at all, make a jaw out of some extenders/spike strips or something anything more than the huge and ugly razer claw

this mazakari bot is so bad

alright, some advice on it :
-no unneeded extender work, remove all the pointless anglers
-as a HS it has literally no reach, so get some reach by using another weapon setup
-use smaller and lighter wheels on a LW
-it needs more weapon weight. And less extenders.
-try to build your bot so the weapons protect the front correctly.
-decrease chassis size.

Rosebud is equally as bad mostly because it's front is very exposed and has barely any weapons.

Also, post the insides of your bot. And generally, go see other showcases and the Tutorials section for advice and ideas. Or you can ask me by PM.

would be nice if it was a hammer instead of a self-righting arm. would need some BFE of the burst though.
