Razors are kinda cool, make it more original but aren't really helpful design-wise.
Much improved though. Good job !
It's not perfect, but it's way better. Those razors there arent going to help you though. If you remove the razors and shave the sides off the chassis a bit, you should be able to add more iron spikes on the disk instead.
How do I add more spikes on to the disc?
Use the disc side attachment points and round extenders.
Is there an example or a tutorial that you'd be able to direct me to? If so, thank you

So I've added some longer wedges, altered the chassis to make it more stable and added some razors  ... Oh and it's pink  Disruptor 5 Outer Disruptor 5 Inner

if I were you, I would also take a look at the other mods like ironforge and see the differences in building styles in the showcases between them and stock. You strike me as a guy who might like a more realistic approach to building, which the stock 'meta' doesn't foster but DSL and ironforge do.
Currently I am slowly getting to grips with DSL and might have a showcase to it soon, but I will definitely have to check out ironforge.

Ok, so again I've changed the chassis design to be more compact, but I have reduced the vs size due to it toppling, though one issue is that the weight is now rather light at only 336.5. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to say  oh and the wedge at the front is longer Outer Inner

Next step is to make the chassis smaller. Those front corners are begging to be hit and the back corners do nothing. I also believe you only need one black battery.
With the added wait add more weapons on the disc.
I can definitely remove the front corners, but the width is so the vs can touch the floor and right itself and the back is angled so that the wheels can touch ramps etc.

You still don't need the self-righting mechanisms. They're too heavy and offer nothing to the bot. Just make the weapon larger and slope the chassis in such a way that the weapon still hits the ground when flipped over.
Ok thanks for further explaining it, it's really helped. So I've designed the new chassis and this is what it looks like Outer Inner So the VS now touches the ground and will flick the bot back on it's wheels, but I can still fit another 10 or so kg in, so if you have any recommendations feel free to tell me Thank you to everyones who's been giving feedback on my designs, it means a lot

Ok, so I've redesigned the chassis by making it more compact and turning the front end of the chassis into it's own wedge. I have also moved the wheels to the center, giving it a better turning circle and so it drives better and I've added the extender so that it will tip it onto it's side, so I can self right. Though I do need to give it slightly more weight has it's only at 387.9, so I'll be adding so razors or a wedge to the front similar to the last one. Disruptor 2 Outer Disruptor 2 Inner

Seems better, but show us insides.
How did you make your wedge ? Round extenders are in general much better than angled extenders. At least in stock.
Also you may want to change your general design so it can't get stuck on it's sides, or at least that the VS hits the ground and self-rights (or attempts to) if it does.
So I used the angled extenders to create the wedge, though my question would be how I would be able to change the design so it wouldn't get stuck? But thanks for the feedback so far, really do appreciate it! Disruptor S Inner

So I just tipped the original Disruptor into a Heavyweight (402.8) and here was the result.

A way that you can self right is get rid of the baseplate anchor and replace it with a blue snapper then add the stuff you had on the old robot as well as self righting it boosts the weapon speed.
>implying he can selfright with a bursted motor and 80kg or so on the selfrighter
No. What you need is to selfright with the spinner. No need to waste weight on three bursts just for self righting purposes.
Axe blades are also bad for spinners in general, mostly because they have normals (they only do damage with the axe blade). They only really work for rammers/pokers in Stock. Use iron spikes.
Also that is not irl... there are no weapon supports, the disc is floating in space. But no one builds IRL in stock, really.
Thanks for the feedback, so I've added iron spikes, added a smaller disc it stop them hitting the ground and added wedge to have it so that it counterbalances the robot.

Ok, thank you. I'll give it a go with the snapper idea. With the skin I just exported to paint then added textures to it.

So today I've made a middleweight IRL (I think) stock vertical spinner: Disruptor Though I still need to figure out a way of making it so that it won't fall onto it's back when flipped (because on it's back it wouldn't self right), an idea I have was to use a extender at the back to topple Disruptor onto it's side, allowing me to self right. I think I have enough weight left but am unsure about space. (Any recommendations are appreciated). Disruptor Inner Disruptor Outer NOTE: I have removed the pink battery, bring the weight to 388.8 and the wheels are slightly further out, yet remain inside.

Ok, so I've reworked NOT SO MDGT's weapons by adding 3 HP Zteks on the ends of the tri bar then adding tribars and maces on them, the results where entertaining. But I'll be changing it to stack a HP in the center and add maces. [Update on that soon] Tri-Tribar

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I just wanted to make something more creative and had wanted to use some sideskirts so that was the idea I played with.

Mute: Putting the Razor strips on without an angled connector gets you a popup from 2007. But we haven't used those 16kg monstrosities on a popup in a long time.
Swanky 2: When building a wedge, an upwards facing bust motor makes the wedge worse. Stock isn't flipper friendly. If you really want to see a stock flipper, look at No Hype 5 from BBEANS.
Scoops: I assume by "skirt" you mean "EMERGENCY Wedges". Against a well built wedge you'll probably lose as the center of a wedge is where it is most wedgy. You may be better off redesigning the wedges from scratch.
NO SO MGDT: Sledge Hammer have extremely low damage for their weight and one Black Battery can power 4 HPzs.
The skirts on scoops are the plows on the side, mainly so flippers can't get under it. Would would be better than the sledgehammer then?

Im here to add some more bots to my showcase. These are; Mute, Swanky 2, Scoops and Not So MDGT. Mute So first is a middleweight bot based off Mute from series 7, this is a front hinged wedge like Mute. Mute Outer  Mute Inner  Swanky 2 This is another middleweight bot, I wanted to try to make an angled 45' flipper and it works pretty well Swanky 2 Outer  Swanky 2 Inner  Scoops Heavyweight bot with stock skirts, I wanted to try something more creative and try and use so skirts etc Scoops Outer  Scoops Inner  NOT SO MDGT This is a heavyweight version of my middleweight bot 'MDGT' and 'MDGT 2' It's now invertable and I have used larger wheels for the KOTH tournaments NOT SO MDGT Inner  NOT SO MDGTOuter  Mantis 5/6 Update, I have added a second claw to Mantis, moved the ram plates to the front. However, I have chosen to keep the larger wheels for getting up ramps and kept the same amount of flippers to keep it heavy. (Mantis will no long be worked on).

Sounds good, but for now considering I only have 1 bot in it I'll leave as it is now

Really like to use of the ram plates, I was try a similar idea regarding the angled Co2 pistons, but my one question is if it goes on it's side? But other than that really great!
