It's been 10 minutes. Looks good though.

lol it's pretty bad actually.

waaaaaaay too much extender work, you can make the chassis bigger (YES, BIGGER) to fit the e-tek's in the chassis and get rid of the pointless and weak extenders and give it more chasiss hp (you'd want more armour aswell, plastic one is gonna get you ohko'd easily) and get rid of the dsl bars on the side and irons to get more hammers on the front (segment the bars to have a few more AP's on the front) and get better wheels. You can get rid of 1 or 2 ants (only 1 would be best imo). You can put some ME's on teh front of the chassis to put the bar on instead of what you are doing atm.

2WD Eteks with Technos would be enough for this design. Get rid of all the pointless extender work/side stuff, make the chassis big enough to fit the motors inside, and add a LOT more weaponry.

I kinda like it for some reason.

i wanted to see if i could make a DSL rammer that won't fail

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Anyways, honestly ? It fails. Doesn't mean you can't improve it though, nor that you are stuck at rock bottom DSL level.

First rule : SIMPLIFY EXTENDER WORK. VERY IMPORTANT. Second rule : With that done, add moar weapon weight. You have barely enough for a MW rammer, and i've seen LW rammers that had as much weapons as this one. Third rule : use better wheels such as tornados, technos or vlads.

And actually the eteks can go outside the chassis. As long as you add full sheets to protect them.

Battery setup is fine. At least you got this straight.

oh god what Kurt Wylde has earned 20% warning for bad advice in a showcase.

got 2 questions about this bot.

1. does it break the realistic rule?
2. how can i improve it?

btw, even though it has weak weapon motors, it still gets the job done.

Steel 5, 8 ants.

From what I can see, it looks pretty realistic. You can use technos for wheels, make your chasis smaller. get heavier weapon motors, use multi extenders instead of baseplate anchors, and take away 1 or two ants. You might want to use an armor other than steel 5 but I'm not sure what.

Swat the anchors for ME's. Shrink the chassis. Probably change the wheels too.

Change the wheels to techno destructo wheels, Swap the blades for something else, get metal hinge wedges instead of the axles, shrink the chassis, swap the motors for atleast perm 132's (they get the job done a lot quicker and are stronger) and use something like plastic 5, i think that should be good enough for this (might want a bit of frontal protection though). Oh and use ME's instead of baseplate extenders.

Naryar · « **Reply #30 on:** January 02, 2012, 10:59:49 AM »

It's pretty decent. Needs stronger weapon motors and better wheels.

Wolfsbane · « **Reply #31 on:** March 31, 2012, 10:54:37 PM »

after losing the ability to play DSL for a long time, i'm back with a insane MW SnS

Steel 1, 20x160 dsl bar, 60 kg sledge, 3 ants, 1 battlepack. My entery for Battlebots 6

MassimoV · « **Reply #32 on:** March 31, 2012, 10:55:33 PM »

Are you trying to build effective or IRL?

Wolfsbane · « **Reply #33 on:** March 31, 2012, 10:57:28 PM »

Both.

MassimoV · « **Reply #34 on:** March 31, 2012, 11:01:35 PM »

Well it looks neither so pick one.

Wolfsbane · « **Reply #35 on:** March 31, 2012, 11:04:16 PM »

2 E-tek drive + grippy wheels + 60 pound sledgehammer + lots of momentum = Insanely fast killing machene. 'Nuff said. Have you've even SEEN a MW with E-tek drive?

First Round Finale from BBEANS 4. Not as fast as WTF, Mate!?, but still quite nippy.

Pwnator · « **Reply #37 on:** March 31, 2012, 11:13:18 PM »

Insane speed will not make up for the fact that it only has 60kg worth of weaponry. So yeah, it's neither IRL nor truly battle-effective.
