I see that most of your bots are build for aesthetic and not for kill.
If you want to change the skin of some of your components, you can go to
C:\Program Files\Robot Arena DSL\Components\*name of component to change*\maps
And replace the BMP file with what you want.

While I know vlad spike does have normal all along, I find vlad spike to still be rather good in practice. A lot of the time the shape has more to do with it's damage output than it's actual stats. Or at least, there are some weapons without normal that are still totally horrible damage wise in relation to something else with the same DP (frenzy hammer being the obvious example).

Lol funny how I am so bad at making splash even though I got a studio art degree myself (it's pretty obvious which is mine once you see the entry).
Oh well I guess it's fun building the bot for the time.

For performance, I would predict that razor tips to outperform lightning spikes.
I think the 5 ants are good if you anticipate that most actions are over within 56 seconds and the rest of the 2 minutes are pretty much to finish up. It doesn't look like the kind of "let's break all the weapons in 10 seconds" bot. So maybe you might benefit for having more than 5 ants.

Nice. Something tells me that if the piglets are mounted externally the extender work will make it look even more crazy.

I say add a multi extender and a 60cm side panel as top protection. Since you have 3.6 extra kg sitting around squeezing out another 4.2 kg shouldn't be too difficult.
Although I think the low number of weapons is going to cause you some problems.

Lol I already have something sitting around and just waiting to see if something better comes up. I will send whatever I have over by thanksgiving.

No snapper/metal/skirt hinge wedge? That's fine with me. Can you tell us which arena it's going to be on? Edit: In regard to rule #4 All pointed weapons MUST be treated as if they have normals. Why not simply ban all weapons without normals? That will make sure all the weapons are pointing at the right way.

Comodo, AVG, Avast.
The thing with anti virus is that most of the popular ones (both free and commercial) have similar amount of scanning power and updates. I use Comodo because it comes with a firewall and isn't littered with Ads/Reminders/Etc.

I think the burst motor is better if mounted externally on 2 sides. It can save chassis space and act as side armors, but more importantly the extra width allows for better hits.

Lol 2 popups on my flanks and click on opposite side? Does my luck have to be that bad?
Prediction, both popups will drive at me at start and roughly 90% chance that I will OOTA in the first 5 seconds.

People should worry about things that actually has a good chance of happening, like getting into a car accident.

If it's NPC normal, you don't need to protect it with a ramplate. Replace the polycarbonate extender with something that has more HP (say 40 cm titanium skirt).
Conversely if it's NPC fast, you might also want to consider dropping the ramplate/polycarbonate extender entirely and put on an E-Tek.

Looks good, I guess I might as well nitpick since I won't have anything to say otherwise.
Your bot requires 152.5 amp to function at full power. The optimum batteries would be 3 reds and 7 ant (154 total), I believe you have 4 red and 4 ant atm (total of 152) and unless that .5 get rounded down, your burst motors would not be operating at full power.
Multi extender has 375 HP, in another word use at your own risk.

Well, I got a team sitting around right now. So save me a spot as I will definitely have something to send in. I just want to wait a little bit to see if I can come up with something better.

Well, most people saw my bot and had like 3 weeks to complain about it before I even submitted it in. Last I check hardly anyone complained about it at the time.
I don't want my bot modified in anyway to meet other people's standards. As it stands now 2 people complained so far, if 3 more people want it out (1/4th of the contenders), then just pull it from the tournament. It wouldn't be fair for others if I get to modify the bot and resubmit it as it stand, likewise I rather my bot get pull than have a 100kg handicap.

clash cubes 2 ? Head Chef and Exponential Decay both had a flail count in the 40-50 range :P Well, I know my flail on flail on flail takes noticeably longer the load than any other bot. It might simply has to do with the exponential amount of calculation it takes when u connect flails on top of flails, and not so much one flail followed by a weapon.

I think flails does give a distinct advantage to SnS, as it makes it much harder to stop and pin on the wall. They also tend to crash the game and takes longer to load if you have too many of them, especially those with flails on top of flail. I have one myself and I always thought of it as something cheap. But then again I always find SnS and Crawlers cheap to begin with.

Doesn't the weapon cut into the motor for Ripterra Returns?
That aside, I think you can make the chassis a lot smaller if you take out the orange battery and replace it with something else.
