Oh, and if you're confused about the stats of items, just know that :

Grip : The speed multiplier a wheel gives to a motor, the higher the grip the faster the bot will go.
Fracture : The amount of damage it takes for said item to get knocked-off after it has lost all of it's HP.
Concussion : The damage multiplier of weapons when hitting other components.
Piercing : The damage multiplier of weapons when hitting chassis.

it's worth noting that 1 battlepack powers 1 bsg so it can be more weight efficient to use those over ant batteries if you have the space since they're lighter than the equivalent number of ants

Alright, time for some redesigning. I'll work on it and be back when I have something worth showing.

Alright, I finally got around to doing some more work on this. The NPCs and TD wheels make it fast to the point of being slippery. Maybe I could make a piston rammer at some point using this knowledge.

getting there bud! fast flippers are generally better in RA2. but I still agree with the others, you need another burst and you gotta fill up that 30kg you have left over. MW weight limit is 399, anything less than like 396 is not good. Think of it like you can use that weight to add another armor panel or something. a robot with 5 panels is better than one with 4.

didn't think I could do it, but after some faffing around with the other components, I got another burst in there, but I can only fit 5 ants without tipping the scales.

those bsg's still need to be higher up if you want decent flipping power. otherwise not bad.

I'd downgrade some of the steel extenders/skirts and get more batteries in, you're pretty underpowered at the moment

Changed the extenders and skirts to aluminium, tried moving the bursts higher but it won't let me, no matter how much faffing, dickery and screwing around I do. Yes the battery placement is rather haphazard, but space isn't easy to manage in this case.

never be afraid to rebuild your chassis. when they talk about raising the bursts, they likely mean something like this:

you're on the right track though. if you ever get tired of messing with one robot, you can always build another and come back to it  :gawe:

Redone the interior, skirts i'm using for flipeprs wouldn't attach directly to the bursts, so I put them on polycarb extenders, also has 8 ants.

needs about 10 ants I think. You can use the shortest multiextenders and use ctrl to move them to the top of the bot, saving weight. Oh, and longer wedges are better wedges.
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

Yeah, your wedges are kinda pointless at the moment as they are short that the flipper.

good news everyone, a new futile attempt at DSL. this time a probably mediocre lightweight, at the weight limit (I think).
