Wandering Spinners are unique, and many bot builders have a taste for bots other than WS.Again, many people come to GTM for ideas and downloads, especially people new to RA2, so I don't think it's a bad idea...

I know you have good intentions and I'm sure you have skill in bot building-he'll that weird bug thing you made was awesome- but your pushing WS too much dude. People don't care as much about them as you think.
And yet everytime he posts a wandering spinner he gets a guaranteed ten replies that all keep saying the same thing. I sure wish I got that many replies on my bots.If we don't care about his WS builds, maybe we should just... ignore them?
It's certainly closer to IRL than your last one, but it's still not quite there. The axle of your weapon motor needs to be fully supported by the extenders. You may need the Component Freedom mod to do this, but it's pretty much universally legal in IRL building so there's no issue there (just remember to turn it off again when you're building Standard or Unrealistic bots)Again, I don't get why you don't just give it wheels. I'm aware I'm probably wasting my breath but you'd gain so much by having full controlled movement, and it's not even like you're saving weight in this configuration. Those drums probably weigh as much if not more than proper wheels. The setup you have here really is a lose-lose.You also once AGAIN have too much battery. You can ditch 1 of the black batts and still have enough power for 3 motors easily.

Every time I do that, it turns red, and I can't place it.
This WS actually does sufficiently well on drums. It bounces off the walls with ease, and will drive forward...eventually...

A bot that's not a WS. [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] I forgot how I did it, but I just invented a glitch that makes 10 mm. Steel as light as 5 mm. Steel.

A bot that has no weird design that you think is cool and clever just a simple neat bot. No WS no Drum wheels. I'm glad your listening to advice now.Personally I think it's not terrible considering you've only just started IRL building. The wedges could be pushed forward and made smaller to properly look like a real bot. Maybe try making the bot as a whole more interesting. Unlike the other Metas IRL is a lot about making bots look fun and stuff or at least that's how I and a few others see it. Experiment with shapes and designs that could be more interesting.

It's very interesting what you can make in DSL, I can tell you that.
Delete your account smh(Phantom is cool)
chassis seems very nice and compact, you did a good job minimizing chassis space. like superbomb said the armor panels look a bit messy, work on making it look more clean.

I fail to see how, but It does a bang-up job in combat.I need to build some hammers and more wandering spinners since I'm hosting a personal tournament. (I'm hosting a personal because my public one isn't doing so well at the moment...)
