Well, i decided to have a DSL showcase so here we go!

20 flails, two ants, insides

Well that is a very good start. How stable is it?

Hercules · « **Reply #2 on:** February 07, 2012, 08:32:06 PM »

Its stable enoufh to beat almost the half of Nar AI
(Wich means that is very stable)

MassimoV · « **Reply #3 on:** February 07, 2012, 08:32:53 PM »

What armor?

Well the only thing is maybe get rid of one of the flipper segments and get plastic 3. Might want to hear advice from others though.

Thnx, going to do it

I'd recommend angling the CF extenders further away from the wheels so if you don't successfully sweep a bot for whatever reason you've got enough clearance and leverage to get spinning before your chassis becomes endangered.

Those extenders are toast

Hercules · « **Reply #11 on:** February 09, 2012, 06:50:34 AM »

Reallyyyyyyyyyyyyy... not much, the only time i lose a side was against a ironed flat rammer of NAR AI
(And i win with one wheel, thanx FBS.py)

Pleeease include the weight in your descriptions - very hard to give good advice without knowing your weight constraints.

NFX · « **Reply #13 on:** February 09, 2012, 08:13:40 AM »

Nice setup, if a bit fragile, and probably will be unbalanced quite easily. I'd have the wheels perpendicular to the extenders, so that it looks more like a cross than a line, giving more stability should you be tilted. The extenders do look fragile, but I suppose if the opponent can't get to them, that's not too bad. If they are quite fragile, then I'd recommend removing the poly skirts, shortening the arms, and using a tougher material for the extenders.

Craaig: sorry, ill do, weight is 397 kg
NFX: ill do that too, thnx

As I said, get the CFS angled further away from the wheels so you have a tighter radius and more leverage for sweeping.

Too many FSnSs now. Time to build some counters.

Get your drive inside your chassis as NPC fasts have low HP.

Don't use aluminum for armor.
