Like the first and last one, although the ant serves no purpose whatsoever.

General consensus seems to be fairly positive. Cheers guys.

Pretty sure BB7 is DSL2 though.
are you talking bout the attachment on the wheels?

Somehow those titanium extender looks square.

yeah they look square but that`s just the point f view. that`s the edge of the skin.

Merrick · « **Reply #324 on:** June 24, 2013, 05:28:51 AM »

Yeah, it's not square.

Also, I updated D.N.A to not have a crappy ant blade sticking out of the top.

Thyrus · « **Reply #325 on:** June 24, 2013, 05:31:28 AM »

much better this way and it still looks good

Shield · « **Reply #326 on:** June 24, 2013, 05:36:10 AM »

Chassis wedge I presume?

Doesn't matter, still looks awesome.

Chassis wedges FTW.

The wheel position bugs me. It looks as though it's cutting strangely into the chassis (particularly the back corner). I think it needs to be fully hidden or further out.

Also consider using a canine chewblade.

Shield · « **Reply #329 on:** June 24, 2013, 05:41:26 AM »

Well, I suggest you shift the weight to the front (batteries and all that), make's bots wedgier.

helloface · « **Reply #330 on:** June 24, 2013, 09:33:36 AM »

Mutch better

Get these wheels out of the chassis. as 123 said it's weird...

Kossokei · « **Reply #332 on:** June 24, 2013, 02:21:45 PM »

piglet sticking out of chassis slightly = BLARRRRRGH

I think your wheel choice is what looks weird, personally. I just don't think Pussycat's match the feel of the chassis, but I dunno how you can fix that.

Weight issues. I originally used Tornado wheels, but they proved to tip me slightly over the limit.

All fair enough points.

I can do a hell of a lot better for a lightweight. I mean, look at Cataclysm from last time.

Sure, it was a crap fighter, but at least it looked cool.

I think I'll ditch D.N.A for now and send Massimo a new LW. Will probably improve/rebuild it again in DSL 3 for Wham's RW tournament.

helloface · « **Reply #334 on:** June 24, 2013, 06:14:56 PM »

But I like DNA :,(

Merrick · « **Reply #335 on:** June 24, 2013, 06:16:46 PM »

I just don't like this incarnation of it. It'll return.

I kind of want to upgrade the original Cataclysm instead of rebuilding it like I always do. Give it better reach, etc.

Merrick · « **Reply #336 on:** June 25, 2013, 11:07:39 AM »

Potential LW replacement for BB7?

Showstopper, 245.4kg, Steel 1.

Figured a shell spinner would be pretty tricky in LW so I decided to experiment with the concept.

MassimoV · « **Reply #337 on:** June 25, 2013, 02:09:14 PM »

Ehh, kinda generic.

Merrick · « **Reply #338 on:** June 25, 2013, 02:36:56 PM »

I guess.

I'm not good at lightweights.

123savethewhales · « **Reply #339 on:** June 25, 2013, 02:46:55 PM »

You can drop an ant and use a blue control board in it's place. Replace wheel with ant wide and stick something on top in the middle for self right. Drop armor down to titanium 1 or up to plastic 3.
