I meant "worth it". Is the HP of the MEs worth it to attach the piglets or should poly's/carbon Fibres be used?
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Multiextenders are not worth it outside the chassis, excepted in a location where there size helps and where they will not get hit.

Nowhere near as bad as COID. For a start, it's balanced reasonably well.

On the power front, you do only need 3 ants to power this, minimum, I might go as far as 4 or 5 personally, but you'll probably want NPC motors and Hypnos on there as well. Might want to try having higher DP weaponry on the flails, and swapping the static hammers for more flail weaponry.

No, I'm saying lose some ants, upgrade the motors and the wheels and try and redo some of the weaponry while keeping it as a HW. Maybe use razors.

Yeah, I believe the vlad spikes have normals anyway.
And do what NFX says, especially getting rid of the sledgehammers, they're eating up a lot of weight better used on razorz  ;)

You could also use lighter armour, shell spinners don't need that strong chassis armour (although if you had enough weight left over, a titanium half sheet on the bottom could help you against gut-rippers).

Even tightening up the chassis (circular chasis seem to usually leave a bit of empty space, so you may want to avoid using them much) will help you save a bit more weight.

One other thing, it's usually best to stick something like a carbon fiber extender on top of a shell spinner like that, it's not very reliable but it could save your bot from being inverted and immobilised very easily.

Batteries look good. I would deffinently work on the weapons. Either lots of little weapons like razors or afew of some heavy weapons like sledges.

Metal hinge's mess up on me for some reason, and it actually gets under 'bots better with the skirt.

Try using a separate skirt hinge for each wedge.  I've noticed that when you put two or more wedges on one skirt hinge, it usually turns out bad, but if you just use a single wedge, it can be as good as a metal hinge.

A lot better UHW (if you cut it down a bit) than Destroyer Of Stuffs 2. That thing is mental.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Needs MOAR RAZORZ!

But really, It is cool.

It's funny what happens when boredom and RA2 collide.
