Too little empty space in the chassis imo.

Those drills are a MASSIVE waste of weight. Those motors are heavy and they can't seriously be doing much there. Just scrap them entirely.

Also your plows are keeping your wedges from being 100% efficient, as they'll block a lot.

i cant believe this actually has a strict weight limit

cmon man

okay i was wondering "what the hell do i enter into this" because i dont really remember many of my bots from the noob days
then i remembered probably the worst middleweight i ever made

BEHOLD
HAMMERHEAD SHARK
ITS AWFUL

i decided to bring this through one season of career mode

(like half of the losses were because despite having huge ass wheels it has ZERO GROUND CLEARANCE so it kept getting hung up on ramps)

so yeah i think i'm good for this

Absolute favorite has to be Scizor, followed by Volcarona, Umbreon and Ursaring.

I made the leap from DN to Devpro midway through last year. So much easier to use.

Currently run three decks: Skull Servants, Raccoons and a gimmicky Quillbolt Loop deck that only ever worked once.

look, if you don't want to put in effort then what's the point in showcasing these here? showcases are all about improving your robots through the community.

Yeah pretty much what Thrackerzod said. I want to make sure that you're utilizing your chassis space properly. Empty space can eat up a lot of weight.

It looks pretty at least.

You should be able to swap out the sawblade with a disc, put some razors or irons on there, and have that be a decent base for a face spinner.

Can we see insides?

A little I guess? It isn't noticeable that much.

Anyway I decided to take a dip back into Standard in order to prepare for the (eventual) upcoming BBEANS. I think this wins first showcased 2.2 standard bot?

holy crap the mechavore discs are powerful. Not a single robot in the DSL stock AI (with the possible exceptions of Backyard Shredder and Shogun) can take this thing out. It effing outweapons Locknut. Plastic 1, 398.8. I need to AI this and put it up against some stronger things but it's a freakin force to be reckoned with as of right now.

That's kinda where I got the name from, yeah. Probably less obstacles in the arena but I want to use the fenced-in custom arena that we have.

I love the new way The Judge's hammer works. Instead of a burst motor, it uses an axle and a thruster. Brilliant.

Also, I've managed to squeeze one of the new Mechavore discs on a lightweight. God damn does it do damage.

Fun fact: The wav file for the motor that Minion and Mechavore uses is named "icewave.wav".

Something get scrapped, click?

I'm loving all the new components. Feel like making something though I'm not sure what.
