Well... I can see why people don't like your robots.

- Sheet wedges beat chassis wedges.

- Weapons could be improved... for around the same weight, you could have a DSL disc and 4 Typhoon spikes or 4 light double sided teeth. Bit low in weapon HP, but a bit more destructive. Ofcourse, you could have a much better weapon with stronger (and heavier) spikes.

*According to what I know myself

I think my discs are 100 mm. I couldn't get anything bigger as a vertical blade.

Lose the saws. They're crap in stock RA2, they're probably still crap in DSL. Use a 50cm disc and load it with small, light high concussion spikes. (Maybe the Hardened ones)

They're not that bad, actually.

I stock, saws stink. In DSL they're pretty good.

Oh, right. Whoops. ^^;

Saws are actually one of the most destructive weapons you can have in DSL. Simply you need to protect them well...

Wonder if that's a overpowering issue.

they are powerful but have low health. a good tradeoff.

So what your saying is the blades don't need to stick out so far? Or prehaps be smaller? Does a smaller blade on the same motor do less damage?

Naryar · « **Reply #12 on:** March 13, 2009, 03:57:20 AM »

Saws can be knocked off very easily by a HS/SnS, plus are fragile. You need to protect them.

I'm suprized nobody has tried to use saws with a FS or VS, like Lawn blades on a popup or Samuri swords on Preying mantis.

Naryar · « **Reply #14 on:** March 13, 2009, 11:41:24 AM »

Urjak used saws as a static defense on one of it's vertical sawbots (definitely a bad idea IMO), and i tried Backlash blades as a FS weapon, but it looks more reliable with a disc and small weapons on it.

Thanks.

Those black lines are indicating you use a Cathode Ray Tube monitor.

Click Einstein's legacy and then TV screens, that'll teach you why there are black lines.

(For all those that don't need to know, I am taking Credit level Chemistry and Physics, BTW.)

So is there not a motor or other item that would let you grapple something rather than flip or something?

System32 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 14, 2009, 09:17:47 AM »

One of the DSL cheat motors is a servo clamp, BTW.

So it actually works?

I remember being told that claws and gripping things don't exactly work..

It doesn't really.
