Less weapons, you need a max of 16 if you're using 4 BSGs, otherwise that's just wasting weight.
You could also fix up your awful armor setup you've got :P
I dunno, maybe, I wanted 24, whole point of the bot really...
and i need something to fill that huge chasm in the middle! ;P
See my edit as to the subject of the latter.
And sometimes even razors can be overused.

And 2 ants will not fully power a BSG. You definitely want at least 2 more ants in there or battle packs.

On the popup, I'd suggest narrowing the front wedge, getting rid of the Skirt Hinge extenders, and just using the three normal AP's. You can still have the angled panels, but with a single straight skirt in the middle, with hopefully enough weight left over for another ant.
Nope, realistic rule prevents it.

Use Trov glitch on the drive attachment area.
Better than GK since 2009.

It looks damaging. I'd have the weapons spinning the other way, personally, and I'm slightly worried about the flimsy extender work.

I would let them spin the other way round as NFX said except you want to crawl over your enemys :P

Considering how weak those poly extenders are, I would seriously advise against that. If the 40cm goes, then EVERYTHING goes off with it.

I don't like the extender work either, the only benefit is that they're actually protected quite well when the bot's the right way up, infact in testing with 123 AI it hasn't had them knocked off at all.
When inverted though, they get eaten alive.
Excels against SS and HS though which is pleasing.

Thanks
Here's an experiment gone wrong

Took ages to axle load all of that on, and then when i finally tested it out and spun the wheels on the disk, the chassis spazzed out and flew out of the disk  :rage

You might want to look at the NCR glitch, it does a similar thing to what you have here.

Not too bad, maybe you could move the disc forward a little. It seems a touch too high to effectively hit anything before it gets to the chassis.

I can't move the disk forward as otherwise the 4 mag collides with the chassis.
I think I can angle it down a bit further though, but would that expose the disk itself too much?

Would a Perm 132 be sufficient? You could save a bit of weight over the 4-mag, and you could move the disc further forward while keeping the motor at the back. Which you oculd spend on upgrading the armour, or protecting the disc a little bit.

That's helped a lot thanks

I got the side skirts up to titanium, which has improved it's performance a lot, and I also upgraded the chassis armour slightly to steel 3.
