Heh, not bad for a first bot
Still...
1.try keeping DSL realistic
2.You can get better drive and shrink the chassis a bit
3.You can also get better wheels, generally we use technos,hypnos,vlads and ant wheels, perhaps others aswell
4.I think you can switch the disk to the 100cm for more AP thus more weapons if weight permits
5.Don't use aluminium or steel apart from certain exeptions
6.Look at other people's showcases, mainly people with coloured names, for ideas and tips
7.I see you're doing it already but make sure to build to the weight limit as high as you can, e.g. you can put a bit more weaponry on there or upgrade the armour a bit
Oooh Narys not gonna be happy...Heh, not bad for a first bot

Updated it, Now it has Pigletts for Drive and Weapon and Vlad wheels. Still a little too lazy to update the rest though. But still, It goes faster and is possibly even lighter.

DON'T USE PIGLETS FOR DRIVE
Use NPC's instead (On a lw hs? really? Astros!)
Put the CB flat so it doesn't hit the weapons
And NEVER LISTEN TO SPARKEY(AKA sypher) <-Thats just mean.

Way too fast, use slimbodies or TWM3R's, make that chassis less tall and smallen it. Also, am I the only one who notices THE RAZORS GO RIGHT THROUGH THE CB!?I Spun the disc to attach each Razor at an angle, which is why one goes through the CB, Because it Re-Aligns itself.
A static wedge won't help you much. If you're short on weight, use a skirt hinge. You could still shrink the chassis and get Mags for drive, though.I Couldn't really be bothered to Get a screeny, But I added a Skirt under the bot to help.
@ FOTEPX: 'Smallen'? o_O
Static wedges typically aren't that good. (although sometimes you get lucky like I did with Hangtime II and you can get under stuff) Your best bet to get under stuff is to go with a door hinge wedge (yeah I know it's heavy... But it works well)
I bet of you make the chassis smaller you'd have enough weight for a door hinge wedge.
I think you're a bit inspired by Civil Uprising in the RIOT team in DSL. Take a look around in other peoples showcases for inspiration. You might find something that gives you a good idea.

You should aim for a much smaller chasis with the weapon motor mounted extenally, less drive still (astros)Which is what I said. Why does nobody listen to me?
Then you should be able to get 8 razors on there (if you want non flailed) on the smallest black disc
Otherwise wou should be able to get 6 flailing razors (atleast)
EDIT: Try to make something similar to the HS in this video

Wedges are useless when the weapon reach is longer than the wedge reach.
For stability, it's recommended to actually use static stuff. Like Panic Attack skirts or flat sheets coming out from the sides. Those can double as wheel protection as well.
Dude's just a beginner. Cloning's fine. :P
You only need a 3x2 chassis, with the height as low as it can go. (click the bottom of the height ruler, don't slide it down.)
Take a look at this (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/55216photo(2).JPG). It's my 12lb bots chassis. Take a look at how much empty or wasted space there is in it Why I'm showing you this you might ask? It's to show you that even in real life combat robotics we don't like empty or wasted space or the same reason we don't like it in RA2. Empty space = wasted weight that could be used elsewhere to make the robot better.
SO MUCH EMPTY SPACE
You could make the chassis a small rectangle and use a ME and put the weapon+weapon motor outside the chassisSO MUCH EMPTY SPACE
You mean in the final version? I Don't thing there is anything nessicary for this bot really... I Updated it's batteries since the last one. Now has 4 ants, Since it runs out of power quite quickly,
But you have any propositions?

UNDERWEIGHT!!!
Fix that most heinous of crimes.
Need to see insides aswell.
I can tell for one thing though, you've probably not got underprotection on there, so use titanium half sheets, or gut rippers are gonna wreck you.
No, there's a "secret" attatchment point in the middle of the half sheet, click on it and you may be able to see it, use that AP and you can attatch the half sheets directly to the baseplate, thus protecting the vulnerable underside of your bot.UNDERWEIGHT!!!

If I added a final row, It wouldn't spin, So I'm probably going to have to upgrade the armor?
If i remember you can put stuffs on the side of that poly extender, however i would just upgrade it to titanium or somethingErm, no, waste of weight really, there;s far better uses for that weight, notably upgrade to dual perm, bottom protection and moar weaponry.
Well it's nice to know people have started cloning Final Z :PBut Final Z is a klone of one of ounce's bots :PPPPP

We need insides. What is the motor and drive how many ants etc etc. Also dont ever use a circle chassis because it is wasted weight and it needs more weapons. What armour is it?
EDIT did not see it was old.

And obviously the drive is 2WD Copals (or Astros, though I am betting on copals) with rubbers. That is not enough.
Also, your self-righter is badly built. Try one 40cm metal sheet and two 80/120 cm angled sheets.
Also this can be made smaller, and you can use a smaller disc.
And of course, MOAR RAZORS
That is a very nice Splash. And I like the robot as well, maybe it's the skirts. I'd consider swapping the Tornado wheels for Shinies, and the insides would be useful as well. What motor is the disc using, for example?
A bot like that can beat any DSL 2.1 AI except Grog. :P
Use Muiti Extenders there lighter.
Weight?

That is a very decent bot, but the chassis isn't very well protected.
Looks rather generic. Also, the lighting is bad. Pic of insides?
Skin looks pretty good for one only using the basic things that come with DSL.
Not sure about the skirt wedge though...
Not bad.
Well, it has been a while since I've done DSL building. Quite frankly I've been so consumed in stock that I just absolutely disregarded DSL all together. I decided to come back since I getting bored of building 36HS and Popups and wanted to do more simpler work, so I turned to DSL IRL.for only using botlab utilities, that is a reaaaaaally nice skin.
Anyways, just to get the ball rolling, here's a bot I recently made called Vindicator:
Feel free to post criticism or ideas for the next bot I should make.
Not bad.
Um... Okay... I like what you did with the thing... on the thing.Not bad.
Nothing to comment on?

IMO, the thing should be rotated to connect to the other thing at a 42 degree angle.Yes, but Robot Arena only allows rotations in ticks of 10 degrees. I should probably stop now before I get watched for spamming again.
You guys are going to get warned so bad.
Regarding the hammer, A single skirt from the middle should be sufficient. But other than that, it looks alright. Insides?
HBD!!! Is that why your name turned lime green?
Anyways, I love Cakebot. You should enter it in BB7. Chocolate or Vanilla?
Nice :) I usually have a birthday pie.
Does the amazing cardboard warrior actually work?
Perfect timing. I was actually considering a walker tournament :dumb)
BTW, happy birthday

If you want your robots not to be super slow you can download Nar AI 3.
Lol It really doesn't matter, the balance in DSL 3 atm isn't that good. All Nari AI 3 does is rebalance the components (and makes the wheels suck less, so bots aren't super slow)If you want your robots not to be super slow you can download Nar AI 3.
I'm generally aiming for IRL/Rule-of-Cool type bots, so I don't think Nar AI may be the best choice since they're standard, I believe?

Seeing as I got a good response from my first artbot, here's another:You have a knack for these things, it seems.
I like it. You should power the turnkey with a servo, so it spins slowly like a real turn key.
Let me guess, you wired it to the same control as the drive?
I guess that works too.I like it. You should power the turnkey with a servo, so it spins slowly like a real turn key.
The turnkey is actually powered by a copal to conserve weight.
Can I see the rest of sTeampunk? (u c wat i did thar. i be so witty)
I do have a fondness for them.
I guess now that I'm done everything I can make some bots for your AI pack now. You're accepting entries, right?
You can drop all the wedges.
I'm no DSL-S expert, but I'd say if you have leftover weight you should change the hollows disks to the ones with lexan in them.

I also have no idea what to name it, give ideas and I'll skin it to your liking.
the chassis needs to be higher for the halfsheet to attach to the chassis. slide the slider to the bottom instead of clicking the bottom.
Those sheet extenders are far too thin to be there in an IRL purpose, in my opinion.
Those sheet extenders are far too thin to be there in an IRL purpose, in my opinion.
I guess, then again what you're provided with is what you're required to work with, so the limitations by RA2 kind-of restrict me to using the thin-sheets. I've seen similar arguments like this about bots like Hurricane 2 and Pythagora in BB7.
for me this is DSL standard
and you made a LESSER version of gearhead.
If you manage to make it better than mine I'm totally OK with that, though.
slightly wider and bigger chassis = more armor and more turnspeed
do it in a way that DOESN'T expose the chassis though.
seriously nice job of getting two sledgehammers on an AW. it might be possible to get the copals (i am assuming you're using copals?) inside of the chassis and increase the chassis armor with the extra 1kg + the weight gained by ditching whatever is holding the copals on however.
The flames cutting through the hammers looks off.
N'awww it's an IRL version of one of my jugglers.
Bit overweaponed imo.
Very well built! I really like it!
Is it 4 wheeled? Those vertical DSL discs on the sides appear to hide the other 2 wheels
Is it possible to have a shot of the back?

it's standard, baka
also add more weapon weight or heavier weapon motors... maybe use some more weight on that wedge. Hell, what maybe ? Do it.
pretty good. wish it would be invertible tho
