I have got a new bot that can hold its own, but it has lost its top self righter. No matter, it couldent selfright with it anyways.

That bot comes later. Sorry for the DP, but I want to have a update noticed. This is my crowning jewel currently, Ruthless. It is a beater bar Poker that uses 4 NPC fasts to charge at its opponents, and SMASH them apart. This can utterly destroy bar HS, as it is surprisingly sturdy, and the rams it performs, although erratic, they still are absolutely devastating. Give this bot time, and it ruthless ly picks you apart.

It dosent look like much, but it is very powerful.

lWhy would you put a srimech on a poker that you can make invertible ?

Why would you put extenders to hold beater bars when beater bars are already extenders ?

Why do you put useless crap on the bot's back ?

Also, use only large air tanks, they're far better.

The reason for the back protection is simple. Remember Breaking Point, when i caused Carnivore to be shifted enough for Heavy Metal to flip him out? Imagine him being hit with a spinner. Thats the idea, for my bot to have back protection. If I ever get double teamed, or flanked, that is there for a bit of safety.

Waaaaaaay too many co2 tanks. I know the burst pistons are intensive on co2 drain but one or two big ones should see you through, as apposed to one big one and 7(?) small ones. By cutting down the amount of tanks and using placement more cleverly you could probably shave the chassis down even lower, to the minimum height (it'll still accommodate the npc's). Ditch the shoddy burst srimechs and just go invertible with the hypnos/vlads like most good rammers. Use the freed up weight to add more/better weapons, my go-to for most things are beater bars tipped with light dsl teeth, but whether or not they're the most effective option I'm not so sure. The back armour is mostly useless but I suppose you could argue it looks cool, idk. xD

Edit: goddamnit people beat me to it. :c

No. He should merely get a less tall chassis and hypnos. learn2build.

Yeah. Though considering there are 2 storms i'll just go with 4 large co2's.

Bah, rear or side armor is useless compared to more drive or more weapons. Or more frontal armor, for that matter.

But if you want rear armor, try DSL bars or DSL sheets. Yes, you can make them fit even with hypnos.

Do storm bursts use THAT much co2? o.o Learn something new every day.

Naryar · « **Reply #208 on:** January 15, 2014, 03:46:43 AM »

Well, considering you'll be out of CO2 within one minute... yeah.

I'm thinking that if you downgrade the armor a little you'll be able to put on more axes. Just one won't cut it for a MW.

Additionally, I only see four ants, which despite using ants being a good tactic in DSL 2 building, it's not so smart in DSL 3 as ants got the nerf hammer and hard. Also, make sure you fully power your burst motors in amps, you'll see the requirements in the description

I'll leave it to others to give you extra tidbits - I'm not that great at DSL3 myself.

helloface · « **Reply #211 on:** February 10, 2014, 12:02:31 AM »

Don't put more axes. If you're trying to build IRL, the weapon is fine as it is.

TBD is on the right track with the batteries, however. Get 5mm Steel or 10mm Plastic and better batteries (ants aren't good in DSL3), and for future reference build to the weight limit.

thesnowingsteak · « **Reply #212 on:** February 10, 2014, 01:13:14 AM »

I don't want 10mm aluminum.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #213 on:** February 10, 2014, 10:11:41 AM »

I like it, it seems really compact for a MW. I'd go for more external armor (like say some plates or something), so it's a little more protected against spinners.

rnifnuf · « **Reply #214 on:** February 10, 2014, 11:49:11 AM »

What size of VDMA R/P Piston is that? The larger it is, the more amps it requires to stay powerful. Based on the bot's size, I'm pretty sure that two PC-545's (the big orange ones) will fully power it for three minutes. Create a larger chassis that can hold two oranges/PC-545's.

I'm not trying to imply that more amps means more power. Once the bot's amperage requirements are fulfilled, the game stops caring about amps and looks at electoral. Electoral is the stat that affects battery life, and in DSL3, burst-based bots need large batteries with loads of electoral. In DSL2, most heavyweight hammers and popups could get away with using 11-15 ants depending on the choice of burst motor, but that changed in DSL3, when Clickbeetle balanced out everything. Now, for example, instead of 15 ants, it is generally more wise to use 2 PC-545's and 1 long black battery (longs were buffed in DSL3) thanks to higher electoral.

Avalanche · « **Reply #215 on:** February 11, 2014, 03:00:04 PM »

Smallest one. Rebuilt the bot with slimbody drive, hypno wheels, and made two seperate versions. Bull Hammer has a 25 KG Hammer, because why not, and Dynamo has the standard fire axe. Dynamo is now LW. Both are close to weight limit.

Reminds me of an lightweight I built named Atomic Stabber.

helloface · « **Reply #218 on:** February 15, 2014, 01:37:46 PM »

Bull Hammer needs more drive. The way you used ants on both robots are inefficient, you could probably get better value by a black or two reds.

Avalanche · « **Reply #219 on:** February 15, 2014, 04:30:02 PM »

I cannot fit any batterys in the gap even if i move the ones already there. I basically cannot fit anything in. And I find the drive works fine. I really just want more effective weaponary without being non IRL.
