also note that on grey area you are using weapon motors for drive motors :)

the middle wedge is fine but they are too low with the ground clearance you have now, they must be sticking up in the air a bit

yeah, ninjas are basically IF sawblades. i really haven't found a whole lot of a use for them tbh (they also have weird hp values, just give it a look) since they basically only are able to grind and not launch things. I guess you could use them on a gutripper or something? only thing else I thought of was doing something like this which is basically a popup killer that is supposed to ride on top of opponents and grind them, since like crushing teeth wouldn't work there. also i heartily believe that weapon hp/dmg > motor speed in ironforge. I don't know why, but I never see super powerful motors increase damage much like in DSL. basically just get one powerful enough that it won't get stopped and you don't really need to go much above that.

hey we all gotta start somewhere :)
it's good to make it a habit to post the armor and weight of the robot too, it really helps us out. Like I'm asssuming it's a MW but i'm not really sure.
Note: You are using DSL v 2.1, but DSL 2.2 is finally being released after many years. I probably wouldn't take too much of this component balance I'll give you advice to heart since this is 2.1 and a lot will change when 2.2 comes out. I'm assuming many parts that aren't viable now will be more balanced in that release.
The design's not bad. with some work I think it can be very solid.
your drive is excellent. those tires and motors are a great choice for MWs. also side armor is a great idea. Instead of using the baseplate anchor + angled extender which is heavy and fragile, try using the black and red multiextender instead and just mount it in the middle of the bar. It basically does the same thing as the anchor but its more useful and easier to place.
The weapon is a good concept but it needs a bit of work. piglets may be a little weak and you likely don't have enough weapons and have short weapon range as well. try working with this as well as shrinking the chassis (DSL chassis armor is notoriously weak, making a big chassis suicide- most people just make a chassis with batteries and cover the rest of the robot with external armor plates... but this may change in 2.2). in 2.1, it's pretty dumb but only ant batteries are really worth using. due to some mistakes in the programming, all the batteries effectively release the same amount of power, meaning you really only need 1 ant per spin motor, with maybe an extra afterwards for good measure. this will probably change in 2.2 also, making all the batteries viable.
For this robot, it has the potential to be a real tank. I'd try to shrink the chassis and add more armor while trying to beef up the weapons. You're on the right track.
I personally think ironforge is easier for newbies to pick up, as the components in that are more balanced and it's overall simpler to make a great killing machine. you just gotta get used to the weightclasses a bit but it's no big deal really. But just cause you may prefer one mod to another doesn't mean you have to build exclusively in that. we'll be glad to see whatever you come up with :)

gk you know if you forgot which of my bots is which you could look for the giant "PSYCHO" on top of one of them

you just have to but the .bot files into your robot designs folder and then import them into a team if you want to use them.
but be careful you use the right mod with the bots, i.e. don't import DSL bots into the stock RA2 or you will have crashes up the butt

1v1 IF HW best 2 out of 3 in BBEANSv2. redace said he would host I think and we love him for it <3
will both send our bots shortly

i probably wouldnt use crushing teeth on this design, its just a flaw with the saw design. if I were you i may try quad zteks, at least that way you have a better chance of the saws lasting but it'll probably need a thorough rebuild with that solution.

on the flip side though I feel like a steeper wedge is usually worse than a shallow one when they hit head on, but somehow better when they hit at an angle. I need to test this more.

stacking saws like that is dangerous because if one goes most if not all go

i tend to agree with trb
we're all used to it anyway with the multiextenders

i'll have everyone know I thought about putting a useless 120cm spike on the very front of the robot but I knew that everyone else would basically do the same thing
be glad I only mildly trolled
