Nope. Shrederator is a shell spinner... it just spins an outer shell with a weapon motor.

FBS.py, however, uses a "Melty Brain" drive system (just google it to see how it works or try my Feeblemind in NAR AI, that i saw you have)

niiice. get rid of the black long batts and replace them with ants. also, use a BSG burst instead of a  snapper2.

use the blue cb instead of the tiny one if u have space, it wll save u 1 kg.
also the hammers suck dosnt apply to dsl, use a hammer instead of spikes.

*Ignoring the advice above, sorry if I repeat*

1) Blue control boards save weight.
2) The long black batteries suck. The orange ones and the tall black ones tyou get from the same menu are much better
3) Don't use the stock SnapperII in DSL - use a BSG, one of the green bursts, or a Magmotors burst.
4) Use a DSL hammer - you might have enough weight for the ol' 70kg-er if you wanted to.
5) And it's not exactly very heavy. Building to the 800kg weight limit is good, gives it more of a chance against the other 800kg bots.
6) There's a fair bit of empty space that could be minimized.
7) Although it looks great, the pointy wedges on the front could be replaced with more effective wedges on burst motors.

:D

I may upload your advice fixed stuff tomorrow :) (may not).

an I wanted to ask you if it is a bad mistake by me if iI use the stock parts together wit the dsl parts. cause sometimes the stock parts were looking better on some bots than the dsl pats.

they are unbalanced.
dsl parts are usually better, that is why u see some dsl bots get 25000 pts per match instead of the 10000 for a good stock bot.

Because Stock is unbalanced and DSL is balanced.

You can tell Stock parts from DSL parts by that blue borderline in their preview pictures.
And by the fact that ALL DSL parts state HP, AMP/DP.

Stock is for stock, DS: is for DSL. The bot looks cool, though. :-)

Taht happens when you post something, Refresh page and its nto there... You just post it again, Or Maybe some lag :P

Nice bot, But theres some empty space... You could just remove the 2 "Spikey" looking wedges in the front & add "Real" Metal hinge/Skirt Hinge wedge...
But that would make the bot less attractive :P

Wouldn't that be nice if it's actually true.  It would have saved me a lot of time digging through those txt files.

Besides, i thought other parts doesn't even show unless "cheatbot2" was used.

Get 2 PC545 and 2 ant batts on this, a Small JX, more armor, as well as a DSL bar for hammer arm.

And either get Hypno wheels, or get the motors 2 notches higher and use Vlads.
