2WD Eteks with Technos would be enough for this design. Get rid of all the pointless extender work/side stuff, make the chassis big enough to fit the motors inside, and add a LOT more weaponry.

They're in Firebeetle's component pack. Personally, I think we should stick to the components in standard Stock and DSL, probably the AI Components as well. Or at least get them finished first of all before we head for the custom components.

Is there a reason no one has given ACAMS any rep?
Please, ACAMS is above that sort of thing. Now casual racism, that's a different matter. =P

Enturon looks excellent. I take it the long chassis on Hunter is due to the razors intersecting. AW Flail SnS looks very nice, I tried something similar, and it havoked to kingdom come.

daaaaaamn if that is a 80 then where is all your weight going
I think you can downgrade the drive for the spinner to get razors on there.
Drive, I think. He should ideally downgrade the drive enough to get a 132 Small, the 8000HP will help you immensely. Astros & Minis should be enough, or you may have to reduce the armour a little bit.

for the spinner, is that a perm 132?
It's a Perm 80. He doesn't have the weight for a Perm 132, he'd need to sacrifice the drive and some of the chassis armour. He could probably attach the motor directly to the ME, negating the need for the pointless extra one.

That hasn't happened for me yet. It's happened twice when I put Death Trap against Blade Wave in NAR AI. There's so many Light DS Teeth and Razors going everywhere, that the Havok engine just goes "BWOAH<expletive>ICANTHANDLETHIS" and implodes.

Looking extremely nice. Excellent work.

Why am I not listed under round 3? I won both of my matches.
Because there's only three guys in your bracket, so you have nobody to fight.

The chassis wedge still needs to be shallower. If we can't tell there's a chassis wedge from that angle, then it needs to be less steep. And stacking is basicaly a case of trial and error. You need to position the two blacks in almost, but not exactly, the same place. You just need patience, a steady hand, and a good eye.
I would remove the pointless extender array on top. It's doing nothing except being a target.

Looks very nice. It's quite retro in a sense, but if it's invertible, then you REALLY don't need the blade there. Please try and get out of that habit, most bots should be invertible anyway, other than popups/flippers/other robots that can self-right without a blade.

Looking quite nice. The hammer looks a bit lacking in weaponry compared to the other two, but other than that it looks excellent. Have you tried using NC's Movepixel tool to get the third black in? Sometimes that can make the difference. How wedgy is it?

Would a single wedge work better than the pair you have now? I'm imagining their springiness is kicking your bot up when it fires. But a skirt at the back would definitely help, in my view. And curving the hammer slightly as well. Possibly a wider wheelbase.

This is always going to be the problem with IRL building. Someone's definition of IRL might not fit with someone else's definition, and one of these debates will spring up. I'd say if he can provide evidence of a bot that has been built IRL that has the same setup as his robot, then we'll see where we can go from there.

On the popup, I think it could benefit from a single Metal Hinge wedge, rather than the pair it has at the moment. This would probably give you the weight for an extra ant, which I'm pretty sure you need at the moment, and to swap the comparatively weak Side Panels for Skirts on the front. 40cm Angled Steel Skirts would work best, I feel, or 80cm Angled Titanium if you need the reach. You'd have enough weight left over to upgrade the armour as well, I think, possibly to Plastic 3.

Or MR TEST. I have attempted to downrep him many times on the basis that it would make no difference at all.

It is an improvement. I'd angle the weapons back a bit more to get more speed when you hit the opponent. And the razors should ideally be angled the same way to maximise damage on each hit, you'll need to use the eFFe glitch to do this. And two of the three blacks could definitely stand to be stacked together, it's just trial and error to get it right, though. That would save you a good deal of weight to get a shallower chassis wedge, which would help you get under opponents.

mention this guy called Thyrus and tell everybody how awesome he is!
For the video: I`d take some stuff of panic attack aka drivingskills and some of pittingscenes of series 3 since they look awesome IMO
You should show Cassius 2 reversing into the pit from as many angles as possible. Also in slow motion.
