Yes. You obviously did not read hard enough my tutorial... at least you crop now.

Try to reduce the extender work. Notably the old stock parts, most Stock extenders are awful in DSL 2.1. (T-connector, Y-connector, etc) as well as the omni connector.

Remember, the most important thing in a good robot is SAVING WEIGHT. By using better parts, and lighter extender work, and thinking by yourself, you will improve.

OK i have got a new robot
I call it X - Y
It's sort of a new idea i had but i don't know if it has already been made

It's still under construction a bit but any improvements for now?
And i actually stacked 5 ants on one side and 3 on teh other
I'm not a fan of underpowering

Needs a better setup overall actually.
Get rid of the irons aswell, there are better wepon choices out there.
Ramplates aren't so good in stock BTW.
And if those are npc fasts, it's overkill.

Edit: Oh, you've stcked the ants, well you're not supposed to stack in DSL, it's unrealistic. At any rate, 4/5 ants would do for that anyway, 8's overkill once again.

@Scorpion

and i will get rid of a few ants...

Yeah, I'd recommend a different weapon setup. The extender holding the weapons might come off with one good hit.

Just get rid of the irons all together, it's just wasted weight on there really
If those are 132's then you MAY not need to, assuming you fix the weapon setup to something better, lurk a bit to see other setups for weaponry like that.

Ok it now has 5 ants, no more irons, i chose the extra wide ramplate and if i can i will change them to 132's IF i have enough weight
And it's underweight...

What can i do with the weight if i can't fit in 132's?
Oh and armour is tite 5

Doesn't needs that much drive. Get back to 2WD NPC Fast w/ Technos, it's more than enough for a HW HS.

And 5 ants is not enough.

How many ants do i need then?  :confused:
I thought the rule was '1 ant to every spin motor'
Also please help with 4WD and 2WD?
And surely NPC fast wouldn't fit unless it was fast right which would be bit too fast?  :(

You need 6 ants

And only you don't need 4 wheel drive, 2 wheel drive will be enough for a spinner

Yes, 1 ant per spin motor, surely you can use that formula on your own to figure out how many ants you need to power a bot/
And yes, use npc fast right 2WD, although if you need more weight, it's get by with normal npc right/lefts 2WD instead.
Anyway, weapon setup still needs a rethink, it doesn't look very good IMO.

Use razorz instead of the irons there, do that, and you've got a decently solid MW there.

Use razors with beater bars.

And make it a MW.
