How'd you get it to go through the top of the shell?

Axle loading. Simple part of standard DSL ;P

It has been a while...

I was inspired by Naryar's recent build of Tempest to try out DSL 2.2, and see how shell spinners (especially the flail variety) have fared. It seems that flail razors are significantly less effective against hammers than before, probably as a result of Click's re-balancing of heavy versus light weapons. Ah well, it was good while it lasted. :P

Anyway, I decided to take a crack at Tempest, and got this:

 

I decided to increase the overall efficiency of Tempest at the expense of aesthetic fidelity to the original. I could go even further and ditch the four 30kg hammers for two 60 kg since the latter will have better stats overall. I might even be able to go all the way to 70 kg hammers if I drop four side panels and the top extender. The bot preforms reasonably well, though I haven't yet downloaded any AI packs so I'm just fighting the original DSL AI bots. The chassis and wheel configuration are slightly stacked, but I was too lazy to finesse them.

It does feel good to be building again. DSL 2.2 should be fun to explore for a while.

if you end up going for those 70kg hammers, you could probably go for a hexplate/extender setup instead of the disk and you should get a fair bit more weight to use on whatever, looks good as it is though

lol it's just four times better than mine

edit: wait, nevermind. you need more batteries because the batteries have changed quite a bit in DSL 2.2. I would go for either four ant batteries or a WP836E.
