why are you using weapon motors for drive on deadzone
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Alright, let's have a good look at these.

For Hydrogen, a novel idea (by which I mean cute =3), but what's its purpose? And if you want it to last the whole battle, you'll need 2-3 ant batteries there. But I doubt you'll be able to, seeing that it looks like you're trying to keep the weight under 50 kg. God knows why.

Dreadzone. Hmmm. First, trying to build even closer to the weight limit will be helpful, and always try to make the chassis as small as possible, fitting around the components. I'm not really sure why you're using a poker, there. It would be more effective to protect the front with a heavy snowplow and invest into some more juicy weapons for your horizontal hammers. Not to mention that using spinning weapons on a burst motor isn't the most effective idea in the world, as the limited contact the spinning weapon will have with the opponent doesn't really cause enough damage.

And some more generic advice, the E-TEK motors you're using for drive there is a bad idea. These motors are used for spinning weapons, hence it has a low torque and top speed, vice versa with drive motors. For this, Fast NPCs should be sufficient. Also, in general, monster truck tyres aren't brilliant. Usually the most effective wheels are WAWs, Hypnos, Vlads, Tornado/Slipperbottoms and Techno Destructos (maybe mini wheels. Sometimes.)

Also, what's the armour? That's a useful thing to tell us.

Oh and I forgot to mention, these are not bad quality for a newbie, keep it up  :thumbup

Deadzone actually looks pretty cool, even if it is a pretty bad bot.

Alright, thanks.

And don't use sarcastic remarks like that. It's irritating.

getting better, definitely improvement, but you may want to use weapons with no normals (aka can do damage all over the weapon instead of only able of doing damage on one side of it), try beater bars
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.

it's not that bad as an idea but if you change the wheels to hypno wheels and get beater bars and razors (perhaps angled towards the ground) instead of the ripping teeth then it will be pretty good. is the chassis at minimum height? because if you do the height just a bit higher then you can get bottom protection (titanium halfsheets) and can angle the beater/razor setup downwards more.
for an example of what i mean look at this:

not shameless self-promoting

and you might want to post the armour and how many batteries it has in your post so we dont have to ask, general rule is 1 ant battery for 1 motor (not servos, bursts or pistons)

is this bot don't lost all razors in a fight before do a damage thought

Trying to see what's inside there is hurting my eyes. Could you show a pic of the inside with the disc removed? Or tell us what's in there?

And I think I see a large battery in there. I think. For this bot you only need 3-4 ants.

Can't see what batteries it's using but in DSL all Spin motors only need 1 ant battery to run for a whole match, so you only need 3 in there.  Also, shiny hub wheels aren't as good in DSL as Stock (use grippier wheels, like Hypnos if possible). I trust those are NPC Fasts as well :P
Finally, those teeth have 'normals'. That means they only deal damage on 1 specific point of the component (the tip of the spike), whereas some other weapons (hammers, double sided teeth, beater bars, iron spikes etc) don't have these and deal damage with all parts of the component, making them more effective weapons. Other components with normals include pole spikes, chewblades and cutting teeth (the mini ones of what you have) - but people will alert you of these components as and when.

They do, but in effective building they're not good to use. Although it doesn't quite matter so much in IRL style building.
