Better.

You're 8 kg underweight. Add another ant battery.

He has enough, and that borders on useless weight to well spent weight.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

He has 4 ants. For 4 Eteks, 4 ants is enough, but MINIMUM battery power.

(And if he has 5, a 6th will still help)

Slipper is fine.

Though I think you can benefit a lot if you can connect NPC fast to the chassis.

Well it does look more like a baseplate halfsheet to me... especially that the chassis is really tall

If it is indeed a metal hinge, it would not help a lot here anyways.

Well after a small break from RA2 (lack of ideas) I decided to get back to the game to enter a tourney I've been wanting to enter for a while (BBEANS). I'm beggining to make a few lightweights and see which one is good enough to enter (I had 2 but one was a bot the havok gods enjoyed playing with) so the other bot I have now is
Plague:


 
any comments? :bigsmile:

Might want to change the cutting teeth to weapons without normals... it's hard to implement this design on a LW anyways.

The HS does look really good, but the chassis is large and a 2-Mag is quite a lot for 33 kg of weapons.

A few ideas you can try implementing

1.  Click on the lowest point when making the chassis, this should lower your chassis a bit.
2.  Use 8 DS Light Teeth
3.  Try to fit in a blue control board
4.  Use a drive motor with more HP (TWM (first one) or NPC Normal (first one))
5.  Replace the poly+multi extender with flipper segments
6.  For back support, try building it out of 40 cm polycarb skirts.
7.  Vlad wheels if you can fit it.

Why don't you use 2 weapon discs rather than shell ?

I'm confused.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything
