Entry sent, but I'm not expecting it to do well at all; I suck at IRL building. :P

Ounce: Nuclear Fallout Don't know it
It won BTTB >.> but I would agree either that or Paramecium would be considered my signature bot, at least in stock.

GRW has 1% damage, so doesn't that mean he's technically leading?
I'm guessing Sage is going by number of match wins then damage taken, but I would agree that GRW would be first since his bot has lost only one component so far.
Well, it looks like my match went much better than I expected, but I wonder exactly what part it was that I lost.
Also, brb putting trollface on the bottom of ReFlection.
Oh boy, I get a 36HS next, but thankfully this one has taken quite a bit of damage. Hopefully Click's AI change hasn't greatly affected ReFlection's ability to fight HSs.
Round 5 predictions:
Speedy DX < BlackVein - BlackVein has had varied outcomes against rammers so far, but with an AI change it should do better this round.
X-Press > This Fire - This Fire would probably stand a better chance if it still had both of its wedges.
Your Best Frenemy > Big Dog - I mean come on, there's nothing left of Big Dog but a box with 4 wheels and a few extenders.
ReFlection > Supernovae 2.1 - It's not going to be easy, definitely not leaving without losing a few weapons, but if I can push my opponent into the spikes it'll make things a lot easier.
BoomBox > Blood Shed - Still not convinced by Blood Shed's weaponry.
Rider On The Storm < The Beast - Rider On The Storm looks like it can get 1 good hit on The Beast, but it's probably gonna go downhill after that.
Revolutions Per Minute < Trollestia 2 - I don't think I trust RPM's fighting ability anymore.
One Way Ticket < Effing Stock - Normally I would put my money down for OWT, but it's obviously too slow to score points quickly, so I say Effing stock will win by points.
Unexpected Nightmare > The Injection - The Injection simply doesn't have enough weapons to defend itself.
Grinding Noise > Plutonium - Plutonium has just suffered way too much damage. Maybe Grinding Noise will finish it off.
Frag Beetle 2.1 > Bullet Train - Now, if Bullet Train still had its side guards, things might turn out differently.
Stratocaster < Voulez-Vous - I was lucky enough to only lose one component to Voulez-Vous, but since Stratocaster's components are more vulnerable, I don't think it will be as lucky.
Triceratops > Golden Sun - Again, it's a bot with weapons vs one with no weapons.

I feel like the axles are probably hurting it more than helping.
How so? The vlad spike however, looks like just a bother.
You mean you think it gets in the way of the flippers? Well, it did have that problem before, but I adjusted it so it doesn't hinder the flippers but still hits the opponent.

I plan to send a MW, but I'm going to be away from RA2 for the whole weekend, and even if signups aren't full when I get back I still don't have a sponsor decal.

do u think i can survive? (i made a alternate skin for the lulz)
Yeah, but you'll probably lose half of your remaining weapons. Plus those exposed chassis sides have cost you a match already, and it might happen again here.

Alright, I've been trying to get back into DSL building, but I'm still low on ideas of what to build. Here's one idea that I came up with:  NPC Fast drive, 2 PC545s, 6 ants, 5mm titanium, 2 large JXs, 8 razors, 3 vlad spikes, 2 half-sheets. It's a flipper with weapons on axles that pop up from underneath the flippers when it fires them. I would've added more weapons to the axles, but I ran into trouble with the rule of 7, so I used the remaining weight to add a "horn" to the bot to help it deal some damage. I'm not 100% satisfied with it yet: the weapons have trouble hitting the opponent. I might swap the razors for something longer, like spike strips, that will allow the weapons to reach the other bot.

Hmm... not happy that I lost 1/12 of my weapons, since every single one counts, but at least I removed quite a few from Strato as well and also take off a couple of its wheels.
Now, I'm not liking the looks of my next match at all. I just hope Voulez-Vous will have a hard time reaching my chassis.
Let's see what round 4 looks like...
BoomBox > One Way Ticket - They're both evenly match in terms of speed and weaponry, but irons just aren't as durable as maces.
X-Press > Grinding Noise - We all saw what happened the first time they met. Hopefully X-Press will take off the other wedge this time around.
The Beast > Golden Sun - The Beast still has plenty of weapons, while Golden Sun has next to if not none left.
Plutonium < Rider On The Storm - Plutonium has just enough weapons to take on Rider On The Storm, but since it's so worn out it most likely won't beat it.
Voulez-Vous > ReFlection - ReFlection is weak against VSs, and even though V-V is very much a FS, it still comes pretty close. I'll be lucky if I have at least half my wheels left by the end of this round.
Bullet Train < Triceratops - Even though Bullet Train still has the weapons to beat Triceratops, its opponent's wedge means it will have a hard time putting those weapons to use, even if axe heads aren't the best weapons for Triceratops' design.
Speedy DX > Meatshield Redux - Speedy DX is missing a few weapons, but it doesn't matter since there's almost nothing left of Meatshield Redux.
Stratocaster < Revolutions Per Minute - Stratocaster's too narrow to deflect hits from RPM, plus it's at a weapon disadvantage, but after seeing what happened to RPM last round, it might have a chance to score significant damage.
Blood Shed < The Injection - Even with over half its weapons missing, it still has more potential to do damage than Blood Shed.
Supernovae 2.1 > Unexpected Nightmare - Despite having take 25% damage, it still has plenty of weapons left. Seeing how Unexpected Nightmare is missing a few itself, Supernovae shouldn't have any trouble taking off more.
Trollestia 2 > Fang - After Grinding Noise dealt that crippling blow to Fang , I don't see how, with half of its weapons gone, it has a chance against a bot that has taken no damage so far.
Effing Stock < This Fire - Reluctant to call this one, after expecting This Fire to push around its last opponent, only to get its control board destroyed by it instead. However, unlike ROTS, Effing Stock doesn't look like it has enough power to KO This Fire.
Frag Beetle 2.1 > Your Best Frenemy - Again, I'm not sure about this one, but the exposed chassis sides of YBF look like fodder for Frag Beetle's hammers.
BlackVein > D.O.G. - BlackVein might be the bot to finally put D.O.G. out of its misery.

and... nothing happened, but since I didn't lose any weapons myself, so far so good.
Now, for my next match, I'm expecting a repeat of my first match, but since Stratocaster has considerably more power in its weapon than Fang does, I'm more likely to get a mace knocked off. Though since it's so narrow I might be able to get to its side and knock a wheel off.
Round 3 predictions:
Bullet Train < Unexpected Nightmare
BoomBox > Frag Beetle 2.1
Supernovae 2.1 > Golden Sun
Stratocaster < ReFlection
Triceratops < Revolutions Per Minute
The Beast > Big Dog
This Fire > Rider On The Storm
Blood Shed < One Way Ticket
Plutonium > T-888 Terminator
D.O.G. < Speedy DX
X-Press > The Injection
Trollestia 2 > Meatshield Redux
Your Best Frenemy < Voulez-Vous
Effing Stock < BlackVein
Grinding Noise > Fang

I must say there were more surprises than I expected (I never thought I would see Pwn being one of the first to be eliminated from a tournament). Thankfully my match went exactly as I had hoped.
As for my next match, I'm just as clueless as my opponent. If ReFlection can get around to the side of X-Press like in my last match, then I shouldn't have trouble beating it. However it's not going to be as easy scoring points if X-Press gets under me and lifts my wheels off the ground.

Good, but it would be better to use DSL bars to attach the shell panels rather than flippermakers, since they only have 1000 HP each. Ice picks aren't very good on spinners either. Also, what armor does it have?

I'm pretty sure Pwn made a 3WD MW rammer in stock a while back, but I don't remember him mentioning if it drove straight.
Anyway, I really don't like the weapon setup. If possible I would lower the baseplate anchor and stagger the weapon extenders so that some are pointing straight while others are angled slightly upwards.

Shut up Naryar. Anyway, from my experiences, 3 NPC fasts aren't fast enough for a HW SnS, I suggest getting rid of a few weapons to free some weight for Drive E-Teks.

...I'm pretty sure that's all I've played recently :P

Looks interesting, reminds me of something I built recently.
Although, is that only 2WD? If so then I'm pretty sure it needs at least 4WD to be effective.

My favorite types differ depending on which game mode I'm playing, but I'll just list my favorite DSL bot types since I can list mine off the top of my head easier:
1. SnS (Has opportunities for strong weaponry as well as hard hits without having to worry much about stability)
2. VS (Powerful weapons and a reliable anti-wedge design, but only if it doesn't use a wedge itself)
3. Rammers/pushers (when done right, superior de-weaponing abilities as well as good, if not excellent defense)
4. HS (Again, powerful weapons, but lower on my list because not as much weight for weapons and (at least with singular HS) they're harder to make stable)
5. Flippers (I don't know why, but it's so satisfying to just throw your opponent around the arena)

To satisfy my addiction to Robot Combat, and to be competitive at the one thing I'm good at
Pretty much this. I don't know what I'd do if there were no more tournaments to enter.

Both of them look pretty sweet. Nice job!

Maybe he thinks the wedges could be longer?
On a side note I think you can use snapper loading to minimize the space between the 2 snappers, and maybe that will give you weight for more stuff.
