Nar, there was a path to that chaos.
mostly protecting the motors and such.
I'm working on another version of that bot with more of a fighting capability

While I'd normally follow those tips, this thing TOWERS over other bots, they can't hope to reach my burst motors, and they all fall into the front or back of the bot and get hammered to death...or my death because of an odd Havok.

Have a look at Grand Slam.    Its a bit of a Havok magnet. EDIT: oh, and the hammers sometimes suffer from ED.

Hate to....well it wouldn't be much of a bump....well still.
1. A faster/stronger locking mag.
2. a locking Etek & Etek Drive.
3. pre-angled 22.5° tri-bars.
4. some form of high-capacity, low output battery.
5. cannons. and some bots that use them(?)(could live without)
6. MOAR WEAPONS

Wow, I leave for a few hours and suggestions roll in. thank you all for the suggestions, I'll try my best to improve this bot.(it might end up worse anyway) 1. Your robot is way too heavy for any legal weightclass. What is the armor you have used? Steel 10
2. Slim Wheels are just terrible in general, triple layering doesn't help the bots' turning circle either. Good point, I don't know what I was thinking...
3. That chassis is pretty much unusable. Make it much smaller in each dimension, especially height, then try rebuilding it. seems to work fine for me...
4. E-Tek Drives are for drive motors only, not weapons. The slimbody on top makes the weapon more unstable. Also, you need to lower the weapon motor in terms of height. may not be a good idea, this thing is ridiculously top heavy and tries to tip over when I move, only the saws keep it from doing so.(also they're not far from the ground to start with.)
5. Odyssey batteries are pretty much useless. You could get the same amount of power in Battlepacks, or Ant Batteries despite the nerf they got in DSL3. disregarding
6. Never use casters, unless you're using them as an invincible defense (stock builders will tell you more about it). 2 wheeled bots almost all the time fair better without casters. it tilts WAY too much without them.

how so?

Well, decided to move back to DSL 3, but this time stock. alright, down to buisness: Sawmill:    it does try to tip over a lot if you stop too fast.(luckily the saws catch it.)

Worry not you two, I've removed RA2 for a fresh install of DSL 3.
I had been using DSL 2.1, thats why there were stock angles and stuff.

This is my first showcase, and it will mostly be bots that I've built that I consider to be so terrible that I need advice on them. Most of these bots will contain cheaty parts and DSL parts. Warning: I am horrible at skinning bots, so I use whatever I can from the ingame stuff, please do NOT tell me to skin them, it would only look worse. first up is Updraft, a bot so terrible, I've basically forsaken upgrading it.   1. Fusion reactor(∞ Power) 2. Reactor exhaust catcher(∞ CO2)
[/hr] up next is Flashlight, my mid-weight...thing. Its an edit of the stock extra bot with the spinning maces. This one works great, but it has one occurrence of a Warp in a battle.  (the markings on the side are to help me discern which direction i'm facing. 
[/hr] third is a bot I've named Richter Scale for how much it bounces while attacking.(it utilizes a...peculiar...weapon.)(horrible skin is horrible) Back:   Front:  
[/hr] and lastly, Dominator. This bot is decent but does lose on rare occasion. Front:    (Maximum close) Back:   Fire away.

Huh?
what I mean is, I feel like there is no way to have a left and a right facing set of Etek drives, they are kind of like the burst snappers and other such motors, no way to reverse them for oposite direction use without making rediculously huge bots to house backwards motors.

I dislike Etek drive motors, they only face one way for me. Unless I'm an idiot and don't know how to mirror them.
