Alright. Went back down to 1 60cm CF Extender, and improved the wheels to Vlads.

Why 2 stabelisers at the back? Isn't that just wasting weight?

It most likely is wasting weight, since 1 stabilizer is probably everything I need. However, I will keep one on there so that the robot doesn't unexpectedly tip over when I hit anything.

Considering how I have it now, shrinking the body may wind up affecting stability.

Also, through some clever crafting, the current setup motor-wise are NPC's with Rubber wheels.

Weight is now @ 396.4 kilograms.

I would go npcs and some lighter wheels like shinies or something.

Should I take the armor back to Plastic 3 in the process, then?

Well, had to bite the bullet on some things, while improving in other areas. Here's the current version:





The changes:
-Skirts changed to 80cm Angled Tite panels
-Added 120cm Aluminum skirt on Metal Hinge Wedge
-Downgraded motor to Perm 80 L
-Downgraded hammers to 2 50 kg Hammers
-Upgraded armor to Plastic 5
-Added a second Carbon Fiber Extender to the back for added stability
-Changed wheels to Tornado wheels

Now, the robot no longer bucks and can move around without sacrificing wedginess.

Originally, it did have a Metal Hinge wedge, but the wedge portion sunk into the floor, rendering it pretty much useless.

This was also when the robot was using a Perm 80 L, which made it a bit too slow weapon-wise.

You are right though about the chassis. Originally, it had NPC's in there which called for the larger chassis, but now with the TWM3R's, it could stand a re-do of the chassis.

Alright. It's been a while and I got motivated by RJPK's attempt at making a VS.

So... here's mine.





The stats:
Plastic 3 Armor
2 55kg hammers on a 20x80 DSL Bar, powered by a Perm 132 L
2 TWM3R Motors, Vlad Wheels
3 Ant Batteries
2 120cm Angled Aluminum Skirts
and a 60 cm CF Extender to stop the robot from tipping over when it connects

So...yeah.

Hey guys, I'd like to see a few more votes here, especially since there have only been 10 of the 50+ competitors who have done so thus far.

It's fixable. Here's a website containing 10 different possibilities of what exactly happened and how to fix it:

Best of luck on getting it fixed.

Black Lesnar? I assume you mean Bobby Lashley. Anyway, Lesnar was an absolute beast.

Indeed I mean Mr. Lashley. Thankfully, he's done with wrestling and is now trying to work his way up the ranks in MMA.

2006 DX and ECW return era was the best in recent years.. went down hill after that

However, ECW's return was horrid to say the least. By the end of the year you had Black Lesnar as champ, gimmick after gimmick after gimmick, and the soul of ECW was gone. What was left was an empty shell that McMahon could effectively kill off with no real issue.

Disc-O-Inferno (S6)  I didn't give it a proper clear job, but I still like how it turned out:
(Image removed from quote.)

Kind of reminds me of when Golddigger changed from its clear armor to its opaque in... Battlebots 4.0 was it?

Just a note:

The keyboard will be released as its own entity when The Old Republic comes out later this year. The cost of it is $200, which is amongst the priciest keyboards I have ever heard of (and apparently, only ~10-15 Cherry keyboards and the Optimus Maximus are pricier).

This was my first car, a 1991 Pontiac Sunbird:


(note: not my actual car; mine was red in color)

I owned this car from October 2003 (when I purchased it for $2,000 from a dealership) until December 2006 when I got my current vehicle, a 1996 Buick Century.

Today, the Sunbird that I owned is a burnt-out shell, as it caught fire... no thanks to my ex sister-in-law cheating on some other dude in Hazard, Kentucky.

Horror had a lot of drive and power behind it, so it was able to shunt a couple of robots over the walls. Having no real weaponry and no way of righting itself did seem to let it down, though.

Horror's not out yet, so it could still happen. However, it's more likely to get thrown around in its next fight as it faces off against my robot.
