It's better, but that's not to say its nearly there yet. You need something at the front to make the spinners placement less ugly. As in, maybe a chassis wedge or a few spikes. You can't just have a gigantic-ass bar that's nearly twice the size of your bot at the front like that. I would also recommend upgrading the weapon motor.
Alternatively, you could re-arrange the setup so that the bar is in the center, like Tornado mer. You would also have to re-do the chassis shape to not be as ugly, go for something like a wedged octagon.
If possible, try and place a small wedge at the front, so robots ride up on it to meet their demise.
That's the only thing I think needs to be improved, your getting the hang of this real quickly. ;)
On an unrelated note: I'M NOW A MIDDLEWIGHT! :dance:Off Topic: It appears you have gotten ahead of me Tommy ;) xD
Happy now with it.

Is that top heavy?
Also, what powers the hammer?

Mag Snapper motor.
Anyway, here's hammerist's updates

Insides didn't change.
*Wait's for mass nod*
astros suck on middleweights imo.
You only need 5 ants, use the extra weight gained with better drive motors.
use the extra weight gained with better drive motors.
Not even slim motors? What did you use the extra weight on?use the extra weight gained with better drive motors.
I tried but not a chance, and already Hammerist has 5 ants, just for now.
Maybe try and get the Burst closer to the front of the bot? That way you will be able to hit bots from further away and avoid your chassis taken damage. Other than that it looks pretty good.
What armour does it have btw?
You could use a judge burst motor....
Done it already, Aluminium 10 , IRL enough?
First of all, the motor is VERY unprotected. (Admittedly the piglet has high hitpoints but my point stands). Your weapon isn't the most effective either as it is quite small. My advice for you would be to:
Use two NPCs (Fasts if you want a really fast bot) And not four magmotors. It is a huge waste of weight and you then don't need to have 5 ants.
Then you can add a better weapon motor, a longer drum, and possibly some external armour.
Also I think that would need some better motor support in IRL but as mentioned before I can't really tell.
A good start nonetheless, but you can make this bot very good if you focus on it.
First off. Nice to see that the batterys are sorted and you are using the lightest control board. But there is one rather spacey problem, Use the space more wisely and sparingly. If you do go for two NPC Fasts I would start the build again. Mainly because it will give you more weight for a longer bigger faster drum.
This is a big improvement on your previous bots however.

100 percent agreed.
It's....generic?
This is like the exact same bot as Mystic's.
Also, Wiide Load is more like Wiide shredded:2clever4me
What armour is it by any chance because that front is hella' exposed.Steel 5
My possible Power of three entry number 2(if it's Irl realistic) inspired by yugioh cloudians Cirrostratus:This caught my entry's attention...

Lol, Storm dragon was much like your hurricane 2, except how different the chassis is.Guess who's coming?A serve monster storm warning is coming the cloudian world?(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54420screenshot_3.jpg)
Oh hey look guys it's Hurricane 2
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10444Hurricane%202%20splash.png)
Personally I wouldn't add an ant or hypno teeth - I'd put something at the end of your axle supports (eg an axle or vertical extender) to make it look actually supportive.Shall I add a tail at the rear if that's OK, otherwise one flip would flip it on its back?

As for the new cersions, use the second one, but add more supports to the disc
you are ignoring the chassis shrinking posts aren't you?Sorry about that, just wanted the chassis height shrinking down. :confused:
And the chassis is still the same size :PNope, sorry about that, I just want the chassis height shrinking down, once again im sorry.-_-
im just gonna do it cause im a great burn it offDoes that mean you are going to try to improve your previous bot? Or were you referring to what you just built?
I totally agree. I know you're trying to be funny or just be a troll, but either way, it isn't benefiting anyone. We're trying to help you to improve your bots and it's quite disrespectful to us as a community to throw that advice away. Especially when the advice comes from one of the best RA2 builders on the site. I don't want to sound like i'm ranting at you, but just take it into consideration that a showcase is for you to gain advice and become a better bot builder. You're going to have a hard time doing that if you don't let others help you.Well I wasn't being a troll and being funny, I just want storm dragons chassis like this cause I can't bother to , and when naryar told me I don't listen to the gametechmods people I was like you know what screw that bring in Sgt LET, and like I said im not trolling and being funny.
-MiniRant Over -
I don't get it. What were you trying to achieve by posting those?I will still Improve my bots over time Lemonism, I just never concentrate.
Seems to me you could have just tried to improve your existing robot in the time it took to build those, and been a more respected builder because of it.
Posting these doesn't help you become a better builder, and doesn't exactly make you look like you actually want to improve or get along here.
And what do you actually mean by this:im just gonna do it cause im a great burn it offDoes that mean you are going to try to improve your previous bot? Or were you referring to what you just built?
I just want storm dragons chassis like this cause I can't bother toYou aren't going to improve like that. If you can't be bothered to change your robot, showcasing is pointless.
The thing is, if you showcase and people see something to improve, they will suggest it. It's to help you improve your design and your skills, it's why we have showcases. Throwing that back in their faces isn't something people take too kindly, which is understandable I'm sure you can agree.I know that, and like I said im not even trolling and being funny, the bot I showcased was Sgt let, I was only joking. -_-
It's all very well saying you like the chassis as it is, but if you take a look in any of the showcases of the really good builders, whether standard dsl or IRL, you will see that the chassis of their bots are only as big as they need to be - enough to fit all of the components, with very little space going to waste. Making a big chassis for looks might be acceptable, but when your chassis is just a big rectangle shape there is no point to making it overly large. It won't look good, and the weight could be better spent elsewhere.If storm dragon always like his chassis with empty space im willing of not using him at all in some tourneys.
Okay then.Got rid of them, sorry about that, need to work on my SHW cloudian bot.
For a concept multibot, Sgt Let is sort of amusing, although I couldn't guess what weightclass it'd fight as, not that it could fight as it is a 3 part multibot. Either way, the following advice is just from the externals.
-The saws on L aren't gonna hit anything, consider a larger saw on the top of the L.
-On E I'd use something rather than spike strips, they look a little odd there.
-Does T work as an overhead thwack type thing? If so, that's quite cool, but the hammer extender not being central bugs my OCD.
...you said it was a serious bot and not a joke/troll, so there's my advice ;)
So, it's just Oizys now.Yes, Oizys 1 before it was upgraded to Oizys 2.
Ok, Give me a standard DSL bot type weapon for RA2 trials 4.Sawbot!!!
For future reference, try not to use razors in IRL style building. It looks alright so you don't need to change it.
Looks decent for a thwackbot.

Why not use razors?
over poweredNo they don't.
some tournaments have rules against it
Indeed. Mostly because this is just 2 effective razors as a thwack.I said it was fine here, but generally people don't use razors in IRL.
Just stop giving advice helloface. You used beaters and small DS teeth on an IRL HS and you complain about razors on IRL bots ? What the hell ?

many dont
People don't use razors in IRL because it sucks for IRL. The only reason razors are everywhere in DSL-S is because flails are everywhere, and flails affects both sides as long as one side is uses it.Indeed.

Still not great, but much better.Thanks helloface, death cloudis was always meant to be Oizys 1. ;)
I think the best idea would be to downgrade the armor to titanium 3 or plastic 5... Try going for the cruiserweight class.CW? How much weight?
600kgOh did not know that, thanks.
'It isn't user friendly, but it is extremely powerful'- in the words of Lemonism
Bland robot is bland.
the shape and skin as said is boring and as said also is completely blandStorma may look bland and boring to some(I mean really, just a basic design).
Have you downloaded paint.net?Nah, I don't have paint.net.

-drum needs one or two batteries for battery power, really.
That drum is worse that your former builds, i'm afraid.1- wierd, did'nt see.
-A bit too much empty space
-The rear poker is useless
-Your drum STILL needs a bigger drum and less exposed wheels
-Your HS has a chassis that is too tall, even for a dual perm (in case that isn't a six mag anymore) it is too tall.

I thought the rule was one ant battery per spin motor.

Oh really, side view:
LW looks like you tried to clone Kid Krusher's LW from like 3 seasons ago. For the other two I agree with Max, it's really bland stuff.I know, don't know where Kid krusher is.
Also pole spikes suck in DSL.It's IRL. Who cares.

You could easily make the HW into MW. The MW's wheelguards look somewhat flimsy. As for the LW, it's just plain bland.
It's not just the paintjob that's bland, the designs overall just don't look very appealing. The weapons are too far out, and the whole design doesn't quite 'flow' on either bots, it just looks messy.Also pole spikes suck in DSL.It's IRL. Who cares.

I know its bland, still trying to see how GIMP works.
Magic Cloud is most certainly NOT IRL, because of the fact that there is less supports than the Eiffel Tower after major cutbacks, The Archfiend spikes will most likely stop any flipping from working, And what the actual hell is gnasher? I swear the vlad spike has normals, making it complete and total (another word for donkey) if you are using it as a sword, and Gnasher also is basically anorexic, and you dont have a SHW entry. I know this is just verbally attacking another member, but I am not the sort of person to sugar coat words. Also: The Archfiend uses SLIMBODIES? NO NO NO NO NO NO! NPCs! I will say though that i like the look of the arch fiend. Also, if the spikes are attached to the flipper, thats ok. It stops bots moving further up the flipper though, so check it out.
Holy crap. I thought you were a better builder than this.
Magic Cloud needs weapon supports and lots of them.
The Archfiend is ugly, the colors don't match up at all, and you have 80 kg you could use to get MUCH BETTER drive than slimbodies.
Gnasher is so underweight that I see it heading to the bathroom right now to vomit up the single slice of bread it had for breakfast. What happened to Death Cloudis?

My possible Power of three entry, two samurai swords at the front so it looks a samurai look-a-like, its properly irl but will see.

two rear spikes to prevent it from flipping on top of its back.

You made this bot for Powers Of Three. A MW tournament. You then took the EXACT SAME CHASSIS AND IDEA, AND DID NOTHING NEW WITH IT AND MADE IT INTO A ANOREXIC CW!
I know we are ripping you apart verbally, but if we dont say anything, you will not improve. But if we do say things, then you ignore us! You remade Storm Dragon 5 times and did not change the chassis size once, choosing to change the HEIGHT! Sort yourself out because right now, you are walking down MY path, so best get out a bloody map before your reputation gets kicked in the head.
