could you use an axle support or circle alu extender instead of the multiextender? I think it would look pretty sleek if you used the black extenders from DSC's AI pack too
I tried to get a round Alu extender in there but it wouldn't fit. Tried with an axle extender too but same story there. I'm not using the coloured extenders because this is for Redditbots, though I may make a version with coloured parts just for keeping around. bfe the chassis height so it lines up with the top poly panel 
I'm not really looking to do BFE at the moment. Maybe some time in the future but I'd rather get decent at building in the bot lab before I go messing around with BFE and Component Freedom and stuff like that

Some minor changes to the front extender work on Zanzibar. Hopefully looks a bit less messy now. Still no motor protection because of weight though.

Front extender work looks really messy and the weapon motor has no protection, but it doesn't look that bad. Make the chassis wider so the wheels fit in the wheelguards
I agree about the front extender work. That's the result of me trying to get it to actually be stable (Kept tipping forward). I'll do some work on it. My hands are kinda tied with the weapon motor, as I have absolutely no weight to play with. I'll see what I can do though. The wheels are supposed to be internal though, those are just armour panels rather than wheel guards (They just happen to be made out of polycarb because of weight)

Quadruple post because nobody seems to give a sh** about what I'm posting. Been working on my entry for the next Redditbots (Which is for LWs). After a lot of experimenting I've come up with this. I call it Zanzibar (After the Halo 2 map  ) Vertical bar spinner with all polycarb armour. Spinner is powered by a TWM3R and drive is 2 slimbodies. Chassis armour is Steel 1 (Best armour I could have and still be within weight) Pics below. Externals:  Internal:

I'm just elated that I'm going to get to see at least 1 front hinge flipper fight.

I love the bar spinner version of Lazarus. Looks very clean. Eager to see it fight in Badnik's tourney

Some further refinements to the flipper version of Somnambulist. The top armour and rear polycarb are now one piece and the burst motors have been shifted around a bit and attached differently so that I can have longer flippers and have wedge edges on the end of them (Rule of 7 prevented that in the previous version. Pretty much happy with it now. Pics below. External:  Internal:  Feedback welcome.

Even at 676.3 KG that's pretty severely underweight for a HW, and overweight for a CW. Beef up the armour a bit, downgrade the drive motors and upgrade the disc to a Custom DSL one like F1Krazy suggested. You may even have enough weight left over to upgrade the weapon motor to a Tornado or 6 mag gearbox or a Dual Perm if it'll fit.
What drive motors would be a good alternative?
TWM3R Drives.

Made a flipper version of Somnambulist. Exact same as the spinner version but with a flipper powered by 2X VSmall VDMA R/P Bursts, 1 extra battery and two titanium wedges on the front to get under bots. Pics below. External:  Internal:

Looks very, very nice. Love the front end in particular. Would it be possible to get an edge piece on the bottom of those side plates to make them sit flush with the floor?

Here's one that I'm pretty proud of. MW extenderbot with an angled spinner. I call it Somnambulist. Drive is 2X TWM3R Drives and Weapon power is 1X TWM2R2. Armour is Plastic 1 (I had absolutely no weight to spare) and the plates are all aluminium. Also has just enough power to get through a fight because of stacked ant batts (Only thing that would fit in the chassis [I'm not using CF]) Pretty damn effective from my testing though. Pics below: External:  Internal:  Feedback is more than welcome.

If it were me I'd probably make the discs themselves bigger and the teeth a bit smaller/less stick-y out. Looking pretty good though.

Works a treat. No more sh**ty 4:3 aspect ratio for me.

Everyone posting all of these songs and I'm just here waiting for Boards of Canada to release a new bloody album.

last night my boyfriend was absolutely devastated by how rob collins lost against rob collins. he was betting on rob collins to lose and was very close to winning 400$ off a 20 dollar ticket i think? he made several other 2 or 3$ tickets which didn't win either, i'm assuming he bet heavily on the rob collins/rob collins match. maybe a total of 40$ in tickets... he had like 7.
anyways, i've never seen him like this where he was literally pulling his hair out and looking like he's about to cry and cursing every word under the sun about rob collins. i tried to get him in the mood to have sex, which almost worked until i said something like "do me like what you'd do to rob collins" and then he started raging again, hitting himself and walked out for a cigarette. felt kind of embarrassed to be honest...
is this common behavior among bot builders fans?? I only heard of this sort of behavior on TV...
A modern plague. Sadly all to common among bot builders fans.

I think we should get rid of a lot of the awards that pretty much involve attacking someone like "most annoying" and such, seems out of spirit of the awards
other than that looks 
All of the ones highlighted in red are the ones that Craaig is suggesting to get rid of. Pretty much all of the attacking ones are included in that.

those unpowered wheels are triggering me.
you should use a larger font for the bot name on that skin too.
Unpowered wheels are gone in the version that I submitted to Badnik's tournament. I'll likely fix the font at some point too, though there isn't that much room to make it too much bigger

you can change your robot if you want 
I think I might. Fits the theme of my other bot better, and is more interesting too (Rather than a pretty generic spinner with a mechavore disc). I'll PM it to you now.
