Needs a bit more support. Tone the armour down a bit and get some extenders on the underside of the disc too. Might be an idea to push them further up the disc too.

someone needs to teach you to make proper extender work...

alright first never use the omni extenders. you have multi extenders, and they can be rotated, and occasionally baseplate anchors. Second, don't use anglers unless the situation calls for it. Right there they don't.

also, since you are building irl, make that extender setup that holds the disc less flimsy. right now it looks like it's gonna break and fly away on the first hit.


finally this weapon design is somewhat messy. use heavier weapons/ a better beater setup (you have a DSL disc, and plenty of attachment points, and also different attachment points on a large beater) instead of adding randomly small beaters on large beaters.

What weapon motor are you using?

Is it stable? Looks like it would fly away after the first hit. Also you might want to get rid of the piglets as drive and use slimbody motors, you've already got the weight for it.

piglets are not drive motors, they have lots of speed but extremely low torque

I know Piglets arn't drive but other moters wont fit and I find having them externally makes them very flimsy.

You are simply going to have to either mount them externally or make the chassis larger.

yeah just rebuild the chassis a tiny bit to make room for astros or something. Just a trapezoid with the larger side in the back should be perfect. so not like |__|, but like \__/
it's not exactly a big deal, the chassis is just a simple box

do not use piglets for drive. Really.

Also I really mean no offense, but me thinks we need to teach you how to build properly before you make an AI pack.

Extender work of your latest bot seems messy. Is there something to hold the bot AND then a maw ? (Well, two of them ?)

Although the design looks interesting. it needs some work though

I know Piglets arn't drive but other moters wont fit

No, you can put copals in it and it still will be faster.

I find having them externally makes them very flimsy.

you are kidding right ? external piglets are one of the toughest motors, they have 9000 hp.

actually i'm surprised people are not using them as situational external armor more...

that's pretty cool, my only recommendation is to use the extra weigh you have to make the disc supports a little longer. Make them so they cover the inner circle in the disc is a good rule of thumb I was told

Looks cool, BUT I don't see much of the details because of all that chiaroscuro you have going here. Can we have a better pic, please ?
