With the extra weight on those, I would either make stronger wedges or up the chassis armor.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

I took off the Titanium Armor pieces on both to show the insides, so they both only have about two kg left.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Vexed 2 needs moar batts.

If you can, do not underpower flippers/popups/hammers/anything with a burst motor, like in Stock.

Hello Everybody, this is my newest VS, Woozo:







Woozo is an axle-hinged VS with four Razor Tips and a DSL Bar for weapons, and two Slimbodys for drive. He is rather slow and kind of unstable, but pretty wedgy and VERY damaging.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

That weapon you're using is pretty dangerous, but if just one razor breaks, your wedge is nearly useless.

Actually, the wedge preforms well until two razors are lossed right next to each other.

You have about 9 kgs left, maybe you could boost the drive or something.
What's the armor?

I'd use 6 (or 7 if you want a bot that will last long) ant batts on this. (DOAM was powered by 4 ant batts but it was too underpowered IMO)

Also i bet you can save weight on that extender work for the wedges. Each of yours is 8 kg... i think i can make this 6 with a lower multi-extender and two 20 cm aluminium extenders. Maybe even less.

Maybe get titanium for these wedges as well, or change the plastic ones for alu.

Hello Everybody, here is my newest Lightweight, Zaraharen:







Zaraharen is a LW dual sawbot with two slimbody motors for drive and a small Perm powering two 80 cm Sawblades. He can beat all the LW AI, but has consistant trouble with Civil Uprising, Posion Stinger, and 360 Arc Pounder.

Any Comments would be appreicated. :D

That chassis could be more compact, plus this DEFINITELY needs sawblade protection.

Good to see sawbots being built! :D

Sawblade Protection? If by that you mean protect the sawblades sides, I don't think i have the weight. Maybe you mean something else though.

Oh, and sawbots are my favorite kind of bot. :)

Helle Everybody, here is my newest Sawbot, Viscous Vandal:







Viscous Vandal is a Heavyweight Sawbot with two Fast NPCs for drive, and Two 132 Perm Motors with four Backlash Disks for weapons. I also have two Static Sawblades which can deal damage, but are more just for looks and motor protection. As you can see, I have a problem with the Backlash disks. Their attackment point makes them so they are inside each other, but since in real life I would have had no problem attacking them corectly, I don't think this disobeys the realistgic rule. This is just my opinion, and other opinions would be nice.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

The Backlash disc will be fixed in DSL 3.0.

And I wouldn't call that a sawbot... sure, it has saws, but as you said yourself, they're more for armor than weapons.  (in which case there are better choices for armor since sawblades have low HP for their weight).  It's more a classic Mako-style VS just with discs instead of bars.

That said, it's a pretty good classic Mako-style VS with discs instead of bars.

Edit:  Doesn't Woozo's weapon AGOD?  In my experience, putting axles on a VS ALWAYS triggers the AGOD.

If it doesn't... what did you do different to make it work?  And congratulations on making the first ever VS with flails.
