Welcome to the forums. :D

Naryar (one of the DSL masters) has made a walkthrough in the wiki. It's still incomplete as he's on vacation, but the essentials are there. https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=DSL_Walkthrough

As for my opinion, it looks cool (the name fits, too). But piglets, as powerful as they seem to be, have little torque. Copals and Astroflights would be better for drive. Also, an E-Tek isn't enough for a HW. Either you trim it down to a MW, or use a stronger motor with stronger weapons.

You probably have a bit of empty space in your chassis, so make it shorter (but you can make it wider) and place it directly to the baseplate instead. :D

[Edit] It's PNH? Durnit. Neil Patrick Harris immediately comes to mind. XD

Much better, PNH. (Do not create another username again.)

I assumed Ausies can speak better (comprehensible) English.

Nice first bot.

originally thats what I like to see...I have always liked the name Scary Go Round from robot wars

but yes piglets are no go as they are weapon motors not drive if you can free up some weight get some TWM motors for drive... get some smaller wheels (hypnos would be good) and then you would have a smaller ground clearance and no need for casters..

I think thats about it.. o and welcome to GTM :-D

I've seen a lot worse from newbies, so thats not bad. Inside pics of the bot would be helpful though.

you should look at other showcases and try to clone other bot to increase your skill
(just never clone LRA2,s bots)

I need weight, armor, and a picture of the insides before i make an opinion on this bot.

Maces can be PWN3D by other spinners with hammers :P

(like

You are new to this deadtarget. Ur the one who gave me this game....)

Anyway not bad for a first showcase bot ( i have seen worse from you)
but like the others have said, piglets suck. Also try to put down what armour that you have used and an inside pic would be nice.... for the other guys ( i have allready seen it :-D )

That's gotta hurt. XD

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you to remove the caster underneath. The lower the weapons, the harder it is for the other bots to reach your chassis (if well built, of course).
