Stack battery is a big no no in DSL......

You know you can just mount the 2 skirts on the 2 sides of the half sheet, instead of the massive extender work you got there.

I really just wanted to show the stack off. 4 ants plus a control board stacked without hax mode, and I've gotten six in there before while just messing around in the botlab. I'll change it in the next version.

Stacking ants and control boards are the easiest stacks there are- if it were Niftys/Blacks in stock we'd be more impressed. :P

Manfreid 2.1 - Now with 100% Less Stacks. I had a bit of a ground clearance issue, so I had to lengthen the dual-perm attachment extender from 60cm to 80cm. That also meant one less battery and St3 armour, though I had enough weight afterwards to dedicate toward more beater bars running parallel to the DSL teeth. I also attached the entire robot to the titanium half-sheet.

Replace that 80 titanium extender with DSL Bars.  it cost less and have more HP.

I don't recommend using the half sheet to connect the dual perm.  That flipper segment in the center will be gone in 2 seconds because things tend to attack center, like a lot.  Use a multi extender on the chassis with some elevation to avoid extenders getting hit.

I'm actually considering scraping it because all it does is spikeball now. Or is that the point of a competitive VS?

You just need to make the stabilizers longer. Remove the sledges and get longer DSL bars.

Anything larger would cause it to extend outside the maximum build size. I'll try a re-build with 123's advice first, I may be able to put the disc closer to the chassis again.

[MassimoV]

Are you sure about that? I've gotten longer extenders on a VS.

[SKBT]

needs smaller disk and simplified setup.


also the only reason my version had hammers on the ends of the stabilizers was i derped the weapon height and had 60kg left...

Same with mine, actually.

 If you want longer front stabilizer, then you want to start with a chassis as far back as possible on the design screen.

It's the width, actually.
