If you tried moving the DSL bars inwards, and maybe axle load the wheels on if necessary, I think that might work a bit better. I think a single DSL bar on the back might look a bit better too.

It's OK. Not the best or coolest thing you've built though.

Take two. I went with sides styled after Evelyn A modified Dawg's exposed tube steel frame.

Only thing I don't like is those rear spikes. They're too far out.

Other than that, I'll need a change of pants.

That does look a little more aesthetically pleasing than last time. =) Good job.

How did you do the wedge cut out?

Overkill's wedge I think.

That seems to fit. Good use of the wedge.

I reskinned the Overkill wedge

My take on the "Milkshake" style VS

Very nice way of adding extra weaponry there. I might have to look into that.

Sledgehammers for stabilisers, though, are they just for the HP advantage? Because I might have used Steel Sheets, personally.

That looks awesome, if it wasn't for my love of bars/hammers I'd be klonin' right now.

TBH, Heavy plows are usually best for stabilisers as they have such high fracture.

Liking the originality there, well done !

I was about 16kg short of using the heavy plows with chassis protection so I settled for hammers.

NFX · « **Reply #595 on:** October 05, 2011, 12:28:20 PM »

You could use lighter extenders to hold the plows on to save the 16kg. Your opponent's aren't going to get the them anyway, provided you keep the front pointed at them.

Hammer=30kg
Heavy Plow=35kg
Heavy plows are longer so extenders can be shorter. 5kg can be saved per side.

Oh, a lampshade hanging on my supposed heart of gold. Should have called this before.

Nice ? I am merely being honest. When I feel a bot is interesting, I say it. When I feel a bot is utter crap, I sure as

am gonna say it. If this was not somewhat original on weapon setup, I would not have told you this. After all, my goal here is to encourage originality, smart building and combat effectiveness, as well as bashing n00bs and fighting with other people and their bots.

Yes, I know I bash people more easily than praise people, unlike some of the softer hearted people. But doesn't mean I can't give a good comment.

When you and that showcase were new to these forums, I remember you spending your time cloning bots and copying other people, and I was a bit pissed by that. Now, since a few months, you have developed your own style. It's not flamboyantly visible and unique like Mike's, but it is unique enough. That's what a builder is supposed to do. Well done about that !

I put the heavy plows on and it was all good until I discovered it did the thing
