DSL S is DSL Standard, so DSL like you have been building, robots based on efficiency, destruction and getting fast KOs. It's called DSL S to distinguish it from DSL IRL building, which is aimed at making a robot that looks and works like a real life robot.
In other words: Standard and IRL are general building styles, while DSL2 is the mod.

The popup's chassis can be reduced in size. Due to wacky hitboxes, Left and Right NPC's, as well as their fast variations, can be placed in a way that the main body of the motor juts out from the rear of the chassis. Be warned, though, NPC's can barely survive one hit, but bots do not aim for the rear of the chassis. Most, if not all bots with NPC's take advantage of this trick (see: Cutting Wedge IV). This does not apply to DSL3, however, which is a completely separate modification altogether. The same can be done to the VS.

Regarding the VS' weapon, LDS teeth on beaters is standard because it works. Make sure that the teeth are as close to the ground as possible at their lowest position as this allows for the VS to lift other bots with more ease.
Follow me on Twitter? I'd like to see you try!

The VS is probably below average nowadays, while the popup's averageness will depend on the wedge.

VS:

- Supports are too flimsy. DSL bars would be ideal for this instead of flipper segments. A combination of the two could also work. Whatever floats your boat really.

- Amount of weapons depends on what you're aiming for. If you're going for a speedy gutripper you could go for NPC-F + hypnos, and for weapons razors over the teeth would work wonders. If a slower, longer lasting beast is what you want you can go NPC + Vlads and up the weapon weight a bit (heavier beaters would work well). Of course this depends on the setup you have.

Popup:

- I'd suggest concentrating the weapons in the same way you do in stock with eFFe, and switching the positions of the batteries and bursts so that the weapons are closer together, Seism 13 style.

Otherwise they aren't bad. Just mess around until you're happy with the result.

the first one isn't considered "DSL Legal" because the weapon cuts through the perm belt btw

That's pretty sweet. I never expected that anyone to use weapon components like the T-minus flipping arm for looks, instead being used like actual weaponry.

WITH THE AURA OF A THOUSAND EXPLODING NARUTOS
its time for the worlds first robot with 7 biohazard arms

mechbotmb.png

(that means it's 7 times better than biohazard)

SUGOI GO GO YEAH LETS GO ROBOTTU

yea so this thing is super messy and i fooled all of you into thinking it was cool. i'd go into advertising if i didn't have some self-respect left (as little as that may be). guess its just the mystic power of the land of the rising sun
but boyyo was this thing hard to screenshot. maybe thats why i did it poorly in the splash. behold

mecha.png


the limbs are each on a JX, the head and waist are on servos, and the wings are on mag snappers. i would have put articulation in the knees and elbows if the thing wasn't already so unstable. tbh i like the bike better but i had fun making it. maybe next time ill enter a bot shaped like a butt who knows

for the old man tournament. fun thing is this bot is actually too new looking compared to how i used to build DSL 'back in the day'. razor and flail spam was after I left. go figure

ti 1, the classic. probably a horrible popup placement but i thought it looks kinda cool and its crazy tiny so its hard to fit anywhere else and i was lazy yadda
drives better upside down that right way up for some reason.

also fun joke this page has been around longer than CF

If I'm counting right I think it's somewhat underpowered. Love the design though. Any reason you chose backlash wheels over hypnos? I can't recall the difference.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything
