Leave almost everything you learned from Stock behind.
Thanks for the advice! They all look similar because I was hoping to get these to the point that I could enter into Evolve. Unfortunately, it's an IRL tournament, and I am terrible at judging what counts as such.
That aside, I redid the LW; MW and HW will follow soon.

Changes:
-Circular chassis
-TWM3R2 spinner
-4 ant bats
-Titanuim 1 armor
-That big extender thing on top
-I had to take off a row of DS teeth because of weight. However, I could put 4 extra teeth on if I downgrade the armor to plastic 1, get rid of the top extender, and get rid of one of the ant bats. Should I do that?
they're all IRL. Generic, but IRL.
Remember that Storm Bursts require more air than any VDMA, and one small Puma won't supply it with enough air for three minutes.It's weird, because it will run out of air like a minute in, and then continue to fire normally anyway.
Use a BSG-200 instead of a Mag Snapper for the srimech.
I would like to see the front of the bot, particularly the layout of the weapons. If those are beater bars, then you have chosen a good weapon. I have been told that concussion-based weapons, such as beater bars, are ideal for pokers. Even if this isn't so, beater bars are good weapons, considered to be one of DSL's "Big Three" weapons, a title shared with Light Double-Sided Teeth and Razor Tips.
that isn't a wammer that is a gutripping poker. wammer = static weapons.
make it invertible really, instead of a srimech.
Beater bars have the ability to stack end-to-end, making them functional extenders as well as effective weapons.
it flops over like an idiot.Shorten the bot by making the BSG's horizontal instead of vertical as well as making shorter extenders. Maybe shifting the BSGs farther forward would help with stability. You don't need titanium extenders on the BSGs; for supporting the bursts themselves, use Polycarbonate or Carbon Fiber.
I'd like to get this disaster into Kurt's tournament.lolno
Burst motors don't even exist IRL.

Also why it is called red shift ? Considering it is moving TOWARDS the enemy bot, the radiation emitted by it should be shorter, and by doppler effect it should be BLUE shift.
Naryar, whatever kind of voodoo that was, it seems to have fixed the driving for the most part.
Left/right veering when driving forward is determined by weight distribution at the moment you attach your wheels. You can't seriously be getting this wrong after "seven years of experience" Naryar.
You can test it out for yourself. Put your drive+batt+CB in an empty chassis and put on your wheels, then put a bunch of ballast (!!!) on one side of the chassis. It won't veer when you test it.Left/right veering when driving forward is determined by weight distribution at the moment you attach your wheels.

Really ? Because spinning wheels differently DOES make a difference.
For some reason 399.0 registers as HW sometimes and MW others. Not sure but I bet ra2 uses two decimals and rounds. If it shows up as HW, I would consider it a HW though and you need to cut that last .1kgI think what Click explained this a while back is that when you get a MW at 399.0 and registers as a HW, there is actually a hidden decimal which is actually 0.04 kg. So technically it weighs 399.04 kg. I've wondered why that is, but I'm guessing precise adjustment to the chassis or just flat out random chance.
Also, exostacking with the motors? Help me out with this one, but isn't that unrealistic in the DSL-S metagame?
It has always been OK to exostack motors like that in DSL-S as long as the AP's let you do that.Oh they behave similarly to the NPC Lefts/Rights where you can place the backside out of the chassis? Makes sense.
maybe a better skin ?
As for the bot, it just doesn't look right at all.
why is the axe randomly off center
how is that irl
Upgrade the armor. Also, use panelling and flipper segments to build a wheel guard and using any extra weight try to wrap the wheel guard around the back also. Wedges on the back are unnecessary, you should move them to the front.I'm pretty sure the sheets on the back are for stability. Either way I don't think they're IRL myself.

Pretty sure you could bolt some more weapons on the front in an IRL way and make it hammer/pusher hybrid if you have spare weight. Or just make the chassis longer to make the bot more stable.
so you transformed it into a normal rammer ? OK.
Also, you fooled me because I thought you were #4 :P
RedAce still got me, but I think I fooled a couple other people.Really, the skin is what gave it away for me. I seem to notice a pattern in how you do you skins nowadays.

But yeah, for a last-minute entrant, it was alright, but nothing special.
Also I have no idea what to do with the batteries; the motors say how many amps they take but all the batteries just give me "power units".
why ant saws?
That looks a lot better, but I reccommend dropping down to only one top hammer, in order to give your bot bottom protection and tougher armour.

In my testing, it couldn't self-right with only one top hammer. But then, it can't really self-right with the balance sheet in the back, so i donno/
the lack of drive is going to kill you. badly.
Don't think it will be a problem against Wen's bot, DSL seems to have a slow drive in general?the lack of drive is going to kill you. badly.

honestly ? remove the flamethrower. as cool as it is it's going to be in effect only 1/5ths of the time.
or just set it up on the front so it's a static flamer. then you can use a lighter burst.
Pretty sure you should also use weapons without normals on that, but.
If you are fighting against Wen then it may win but... you really need npcf drive.
I have no idea how it is so heavy too... and remove that rear spike, it ain't doing you any favors. if you want it as a rear stabilizers use a polycarbonate skirt.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/46556skeleton harveseter2.png)I liked the original one better(mostly because I'm not much of a fan seeing AI parts on all bots) but this one is probably more effective. Is the flamethrower firing all the time?
Cool build, but I'd have used a different disc so it didn't look like a total clone.
