Hey, not bad.
You can get rid of the skirts and plow and the extenders with them because they are wasting weight. For the wedge, use a metal hinge with either a small wedge piece or some skirts (like the ones you are using for protection).
Use the big, 4kg control board and switch the drive to techno destructo wheels, add more weapons (or an angled ramming rack if you feel like it) and change those batteries to about 17-18 ants if those are large JX's.
And the chassis is pretty big

1) i know the chassis is big, i just made it for a test popup If you want to make it better, shrink your chassis so you have more weight for other stuff, like weapons for example. Note that a smaller chassis has less hp though.
2)with skirt do you mean the panic attack thingy? Yes, those are the ones i want you to remove. Keep the steel skirts though.
3) the material of the hinge matters to get under bots? Some are better than other. Small wedge pieces are usually the best but skirts occasionally are better for some reason. I would use a dsl bar with a small wedge piece, or a titanium halfsheet with a small wedge piece on the end. you have the weight.
4)what´s a JX? That's the name of the burst motor which your weapons are on. You either have small or large.
5)thanks for the ideas! No problem, it's good to see more people building.
to make the best wedges put single hinges with dsl bars and small wedge4 npc fasts are a bit overkill, 2 is good enough. otherwise thats basically it. You can also look in other people's showcases for ideas and tips
try to build to the limit
also show what armour are using your bots, plastic and titanium are the best
pop up types bots are pretty fast try using four npc fast with technos
reduce yor chassis size
check the Naryar's dsl tips
to make the best wedges put single hinges with dsl bars and small wedge (Unsure. Yes they do make good wedges, but it's not that simple)
try to build to the limit (oh its a test bot, sry) (Always try to build to weight limit)
also show what armour are using your bots, plastic and titanium are the best (Generally yes, but it's not always true in detal)
pop up types bots are pretty fast try using four npc fast with technos (No, this is nonsense. 4WD NPCF with Technos is overkilling it on a HW popup. What you need for a HW popup is either 4WD NPCF with hypnos or 2WD NPCF with technos)
reduce yor chassis size (Yes)
check the Naryar's dsl tips (OF COURSE !!1)
(wider wedges are better)
from what i have seen and tested wider wedges outwedge other wedges. Kinda like how double wedges are better than single wedges.(wider wedges are better)
You 100% sure about that ?
I have 2 mainly un-bot-related points
1) It's the norm to build 'realistically' in DSL - for example the spinner on the back of that last bot cuts through the mag bursts (which aren't as good as the normal green bursts, FYI)
2) Remember to crop your images down and make sure their files aren't too big - took me about a minute to load all the pics here, but could just be my connection.
And welcome! :D Let me know if you need a hand with anything.
1)i added te mags after the spinner , so i really dindnt see it, its going to be fixed. but, why are the green ones are better?, i mean, the magmototr weights more, shouldnt it be better?
2)will be fixed in the next version of my bot
3)thanks for your observations!

try re-attaching the hammers. it's agod iircsorry to sound noobish, but whats iirc
while im waiting for someone who can fix my VS problem, i was watching pimp my ride and i came with YO DAWG!:thats actually a poker, rammers dont use pistons
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14003YO DAWG!.jpg)
it was an old rammer that i had, and then i thank (xzibit´s voice: yo dawg i heard you like pistons, so i put a piston in you piston so now you can piston while you piston) it was going to be a joke bot, but then i realised it worked surplinsingly well.
now you can see how it broke EVERY PART of grog, and the it broke the disc itself, so what do you think?

Looks too slow. Use TMWs.
If you remove one burst motor, swap the Astros for TWMR3's, then turn this into a true popup, i.e. having the weapons pointing upwards, starting between the Metal and Skirt hinges, that would shift the center of gravity forwards, and possibly improve your wedges.
Pointless. You have just enough battery power to make a BSG LW popup work, and yet you use a JX burst motor that drains the equivalent of 2 bsg's ?
For your information your bot is far too underpowered to justify the weight and power of a JX.
You would need 3 more ant batts to make this work and you don't have the weight. Plus both JX's are large, and therefore makes for a taller popup, and tall popup = bad idea.
May be original, but originality in DSL LW popups is... at best limited, as far as my experience goes. Though I would gladly see someone prove me wrong.
Also steel 1 is just plain bad.
Also, I'd rotate the razors to have the blade facing forwards, to give slightly better protection to the vulnerable extenders when they're extended.i'd keep them the way they are personally. it's not like the extenders are extremely exposed when they are extended.
i fought the 37 lightweight bots in dsl (even the replicas) and it got a score of 36 wins and 1 lose against billy bot, anyway, thanks for helping me so much guys, here it is in the bot exchange so now you can have it, use it for your team and even improve it!upgrade to bbeans ai or nar ai (nar ai is more difficult)
It's not evil, it's just difficult for some newbies.i thought you liked being "evil"
(Yes people, an occasion to tell how evil I am/my work is and I let it pass. oh my god ! surely naryar must be crazy !!!11one!)
@awesumsauce: maybe ill try bbeans ai, nar ai is just evilif you think nar ai is evil you should try 123stw's ai pack, then you'll know "evil" :rolleyes:
Are they fast NPCs?
Anyway, I would probably recommend freeing up some weight to get a metal hinge wedge. I think all else is covered.
Dude, removing the BSG and replacing it with a long ME is as easy as not doing your homework. :P
Silly newbie. I didn't said it couldn't beat hazcon. I meant it was much less clean and more messy than hazcon.
Beating my 4 year old bot doesn't prove anything.
Also it's still ridiculously messy in extender work.

i just wanted to prove how powerful it was, and the messy extender work is for this

dunno why, but it works.
metal hinge+dsl bar+small wedge=WIN
HEY GUYS I'M BACK !!!!!!11111!!!!1!1!ONEONEONEuse a 40 cm alu skirt instead to put the drive motors, and use something else as weapons.
here is my new bot! i finished it like 10 minutes ago, plastic 1

comments?
I would personally get 120cm poly skirts instead and mount the astro's on the back of them.
In Ra2 widen wheelbases tend to turn faster in my experience. Plus it'd minimise the gyroscopic effects.
DP!A HW FSnS (i never see you make that,but,NAR AI First, bot later).
any ideas for a new bot?

Not quite. The F in FSNS stands for flail. So it's where you place your weapons on flails which gives a kind of scraping effects which can give some very high damage.DP!A HW FSnS (i never see you make that,but,NAR AI First, bot later).

downloading nar ai! , anyways, please excuse my n00b-ish question, but a FSnS is a face spinner-SnS hybrid?
ohhhh I understand now :bigsmile:From my experience so far:
I just downloaded nar ai and i´m i put the vs to fight against every team LW (1 loss against grey matter) , right now i´m battling the darkest hour team, but there are too much teams, so I wanted to ask, which lightweights are the best so i can fight them to see if my robot is good?
well, due to the blackout i couldn't post it, but now here it isKLOOOONNNNEEEEE(seriously, that's a RPP clone, you should try fighting this against Rotation Powered Pulsar to test it's goodness)
as always, NEW VERSION!

@123stw: i want to try the setup with the big disc, but how do i attach it under the chassis?For me it's : multi extender- ---> 20cm polycarb extender pointing down ---> disc.
Anchor Point? Unless you don't got space for some reason.For some reason on my game after i put the Anchor i can't put an ant on top of it(the game messes up the item placement for some reason, like this:
