The plows look like they block the weapon.  If they do, then may I suggest arranging them in a V-shape so that not only are they no longer in the way of the weapon, but also they can trap opponents more easily?
For an example of this, see Box of Grime.

No, it probably looks like that because I zoomed out for those pics.

Whoever wants to use that in a war must be planning to lose XD

you should swap out the hinge for a multi-extender, unless the hinge serves some unforseen goodness that we mortals cannot realize.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Can somebody can send me a tutorial for GIMP, because I do not understand how to make something from complete scratch, meanwhile...


Part of a team I'm creating for the  NAR pack and might be making an appearence in the RPG Tourney. The bot is based on CB's Darkling. It is stable, except when it is turning too much, so I might downgrade the drive.

what exactly are you trying to do ? decals ? because personally I tried GIMP and imo its not that great, now days when I need TGA files for RA2 I make png with transparency and use a batch converter to change the format to TGA with transparency.

also one question on you bot, how straight does it drive ? it looks like one drive is a tiny bit more forward then the other?

and as far as your turning to fast issues, you could always edit the turn speed in the bindings so it wont make turns to fast.

Straight as an arrow, apparently, well until it crashes into something, yeah all I can do in gimp is transport a picture and use the pencil tool to mess it up >.<

We already know...

The hammers on the first version look like they might intersect the extenders: rotate them 90 degrees if they do.

Downgrade to 6-mags on the second version, and remove a few of the teeth or replace the pc545 with a couple of ant batts.  That should maybe get you down to weight.

The first one's hammer does not go through the extenders.

Absolutely worthless to have 2 different shell when you can have just one - a classic shell spinner on steroids, that is.

Using an SnS in a closed arena is ehmmm... effeminate. XD

Put the drive closer to the center so you don't need to have long extenders for your motors.

Kinda sorta. I usually fight it in a closed arena anyways (and I only tested my SnS in low-walled arenas).

I think that all SnSes in DSL are pretty gay actually. Plus they require no bot building skill to build.

And Ounce your pissing me the fu-k off so chill out before I hand your a-s back to you.
