It occurred to me last night that the weight and hitpoints of hollowed out DSL Discs doesn't correlate with the amount of mass the metal actually takes up, so what with DSL 2.2 being very picky about it's weight/HP distribution (  ), I figured I'd crunch the numbers and produce a table of what the results should be. Here they are: 100CM DSL Hollow Disc:
Pixel density of full disc: 48,388
Pixel density of hollowed disc: 33,652
Which is roughly 0.7 the mass
Which means the 100CM DSL Hollow Disc should weigh 17.5kg and have 3500 HP. (Is currently at 15.0KG and 3000HP.)
150CM DSL Hollow Disc:
Pixel density of full disc: 40,078
Pixel density of hollowed disc: 18,369
Which is roughly 0.45 the mass
Which means the 150CM DSL Hollow Disc should weigh 20.5kg and have 3375 HP. (Is currently at 30.0KG and 4500HP.)
200CM DSL Hollow Disc:
Pixel density of full disc: 48,857
Pixel density of hollowed disc: 26,810
Which is roughly 0.55 the mass
Which means the 200CM DSL Hollow Disc should weigh 44kg and have 5500 HP. (Is currently at 60.0KG and 6000HP.)
250CM DSL Hollow Disc:
Pixel density of full disc: 58,021
Pixel density of hollowed disc: 36,611
Which is roughly 0.65 the mass
Which means the 250CM DSL Hollow Disc should weigh 75kg and have 9100 HP. (Is currently at 90.0KG and 7500HP.) Assuming that the blue armour in DSL armoured discs is 50% the thickness/strength, as is implied with their current stats, to work them out, what you'd need to do is calculate the difference between full and hollowed disc, divide that by 2, and add that to the pixel density of the hollowed disc and re-do the maths to get the correct calculations. If every disc had 0.5X the mass of their full disc counterparts, then there would be no need for this, but as you can see... it isn't. A few thoughts on this, personally:If this does get implemented in DSL 2.3, or another mod pack, it shifts the meta quite considerably. Not only does it make your common 150CM shell spinner a lot more vulnerable, it also - in some cases - would greatly highlight the need for armoured or full discs. Also the weight drop would make 200cm and 250cm DSL discs a lot more viable, seeing as they very rarely get used in modern DSL.

That's bladdy lavely.
Reminds me of something from Series 2 of RW.

Love it, very compact. What weightclass?
Underweight HW. 753 KG 
THAT'S HW!?!?

You could just... Not copy the components folder... You know that, right?

Battle of the purple :D
Nice fight, was worried the disc was going to come off, but really, that just came down to wedginess.

Reminds me of something from Series 3 or 4 of RW. I dig it.

There we go! That front looks much cleaner now.

Your robots are very... frame-like? I dunno, it's weird. Get some armour panels on these things.

Yeup, this is real. People in the Robot Wars Facebook group have contacted Mentorn, and they've confirmed it. Robot Wars is done.

I really like it! Not often I see triangular bots.

Could you update the first post? I'm unsure if I can still enter robots or if the bracket's filled. Thanks.

That's it.
We can shut GTM down now. It's over.
NOBODY is making a better bot than this.

 "Look, ma! No wires!"After some fiddling around (and some much-appreciated help from Apanx), I was able to get a version of the Battle Pack without any wires! The texturing on it is messed up, but I'm pretty sure that not having wires sticking out of the side of your bot will make it more than worth your while. https://gametechmods.com/forums/downloads/?sa=view;down=403

What's with the disc on top?
That's to protect the top of the Perm 132 that pokes out a bit.

No idea how to use the attachment system here we go wheeeeee  Oh, that was easier than expected. Questionable Ethics - CW - 596.8. Reminiscent of M.O.E, Destructive Criticism and other 4WD HS. NPC fasts and a wedge at the back in case the disc poops out.
