DSL is realistic.You only need 3-6 ants for that and it's underweight.

^^^Unrealistic: tribars go through Perms
Try to shrink the chasis to a cube shape or a small rectangle shape.
Try to come up with the weight to use drive E-teks instead of NPC's.
With current set up and remaining weight you could use 50 KG's hammers instead of 45KG's hammers.
Is it Invertable?

Failing at cloning a design that isn't even hard to build...

Whatever, Underweight doesn't even listen to advice.

If youre gonna use DSL... I suggest you to only build realistic designs, Since i dont think anybody makes serious DSL bots unrealistic.

I never built anything unrealistic, Even before coming to the forum, Simply coz i didnt know how to do it.
Its just like having a walkthrough of a game, When you see it once coz something was too hard you gotta fight the wanting to see it again to pass something medium/hard, Coz if you do... Youll take the fun of the game

Now, You should fight the building unrealistic stuff & Built realistic bots even if they suck :P

-
PS: I actually sound a bit wise there ;D

DON'T tell me it's unrealisitc, I could have drums that would have fit IRL, and realistic means it could be built IRL, yes the drums pass through each other, but I only have 3 drums to choose from.

All right here we go.

Smaller chasis- if shrunk enough you can get enough weight to make the drum bigger.
Try to use different wheels - hypnos or ants(?) better grip = more speed and pushing power
put beater bars sideways? More surface area to contact other bot.
Make it invertable - no reason necessary
try 1 wider wedge if you can save weight with it.


Question: what are those blue dots on the picture?

Good start

As a rule of thumb, one ant is needed per spin motor. In other words you only need 4 ants for this robot.

^^ True and generally a good rule on LWs, but you might want to add more ants if you want a steady suplly of electricity. 1 ant per spin motor is depleted at the end of a 3 min match, and it is a good thing to have your bot running at full power for the whole match.

BUILD TO THE WEIGHT LIMIT

Ramplates are useless in DSL, S3 wheels are not good choices compared to Vlads or Grannies. Probably overpowered, and what's that orange thing under the aluminium extender?
My above post explains everything about everything.

It's the bottom of the PC545.

Anyways, the battery setup is fine but that weapon fails and still UNDERWEIGHT.
