Nice chassis. I'm assuming it can barely turn at all. I like it:D

Methinks I sent the wrong bot. For my stock, did I give you Pyrosulphide or 28?

A couple of flaws in Naryar's bot:
- use tribars over extenders - It dosen't need pink batteries. Unless you are building an antweight (less than 125 kg)or beetleweight (less than 175 kg) they are next to useless. - When you use HPZtek motors for drive, use rubber wheels if you have the weight. Grannys are much too big if it isn't invertible, and are heavier too. But do you see how much empty space there is in Naryars compared to yours? In his there is barely any room left for any components. Also, if you have the weight, build up to the 800 kg limit. 2026

Some general tips and advice (Note: this advice is all for STOCK, NOT DSL) :
-make the chassis as small as possible (just enough to fit around components) -when building the chassis, do not click on the armour tab. If you do not, a glitch will give you an armour called DSA (double strength aluminium) that is as light as aluminium, but stronger than steel. -Lightweight robots generally only need one Nifty battery for power, Middleweights need one blackvolt, and heavyweights generally need only two blackvolts -Balance your spinning weapons -Razor tips have 500 hp and all other weapons have 1000 hp -Razor tips, iron spikes, and maces are the best weapons for spinners. -Generally, try to use shiny hub wheels, because they are the lightest wheel. If you can't use these, use rubber wheels or granny guard wheels. -add wedges attached to snapper burst motors to help get under opponents -when you master the basics, more advanced techniques such as stacking, eFFe glitching, and snapper/axle loading will help your building. And don't use custom components for serious battling and showcasing. It will only get you flamed. If you want more detailed advice, follow one of the links on the main page to the beetlebros site if you haven't already. And the hammer on the plastic extender amuses me too... 2027

How do the srimechs on the snappers work? From my experience, they're too weak to self-right a HW, unless they are static. This version looks so much better than the last.

Methinks sage's might be slightly better, but Inf's rips the crap out of it in looks. Win Infiniteinertia.

Wow. One of the coolest robots I've seen in quite a while. I think the 4wd is pretty sweet, and so is the caster armour bottom. My only worry about it is the fact that razors are brittle and don't have very much HP. Is that a problem at all, or does it kill too fast?

A hammer bot? Don't see too many of those too often...
Anyways, how stable is it, and how does it fair against HS and VS's? 2032

It was meant to be like what Starcore's Fury had with the front mace, but it dosen't stick out as muce, so it's kinda inneffective. But anyways, I upgraded 28 so that is's invertible AND has DSA. I'm proud of myself. (There are 4 tribars with 36 spikes there, but they're just disguised as two :P)

Sorry, but I won't have my bots in today. Technical difficulties.

Sorry for the holdup, but I'll have my bots, AI'ed and all, in by the end of tomorrow.

Nice to see you back after pretty much vanishing in the ARBBC. I guess we can safely assume it's dead, or will you revive it?

Sage got the setup right, and sadly it is plastic, but DSA will be the next revision. The drive is fairly unstable, so I think I'll use sage's suggestion on the drive placement. And, somehow I think Absolute Chaos might be slightly better designed. I'm also anxious to see this Category 5 that sage has mentioned a couple of times before the old forums got wiped. Thanks for the comments :D

4 motors, 9 irons on each, for a total of 36.
