Well done, smashy. Nice Storm II at the end. 
I can't see it - I'm on my phone. I won? I'm sorry but I'm quite surprised. I would say great fight but I can't see it!

Disc with Maces.
Angled or straight?

I'd say Bar or Disc but depends are you designing it so it throws robots out of the arena.
Preferably so it destroys other bots as quickly as possible, what to use for that?

Making an IRL VS. Made a chassis with wedge, batteries, wheels etc. But I can't decide what weapon system to use (disk, tribar, etc.)  Help?

Do you know what I want to say? This game's community is one of the worst I've actually seen for a game. While the modders do good work, the actual community is elitist, and prevents free choice. I've picked this up from all the lurking around not only the forums but some of the fan's websites, and building tips. From first hand experience I've had lots of trouble settling in as a newbie, and I'm sure any other new people that even look at this community will be driven away. It is powered purely by nostalgia.
If you didn't like what you just read, please ignore it.
I've been waiting to say this for a long time now.
You are absolutely free to post whatever you want in your showcase, and you are even free to edit your showcase as you wish. How does that prevent free choice ?
All what we are doing is giving advice to showcasers who can't build efficiently, and they are free to accept it or not. However, if you go all contradictory and complain about advice in your showcase, sure people are going to whack you.
Actually from what I have seen you spammed your own showcase with derogative comments because inf did what he does usually, and you have overreacted because he considered your bots subpar, and that's what they are compared to the average stock builder. Judging from this, I have many reasons to call you a drama queen.
Will complaining ever help ? No. Also, Urjak has two good points as well.
And Smashy, yes we are elitist. The better builders/modders/contributors have more influence and respect that some random newbie, and I see this as totally normal.
Meh, fair enough.

This deserves a reply. What is so bad about our community?You claim there is no free choice and that the community is elitist. I don't really understand what you mean. You can build whatever you want, it's just that showcasing really bad bots (unless the look really cool) is generally not liked by the community because it makes it seem like they have no desire to improve, thus it seems like a waste of time for them to have a showcase. You also claim that this community will scare off any newcomers. This is clearly false, as the community has seen a recent increase in members.
...like me. I think most of the guys here in GTM are good guys and will be happy to help you out (Craaig, JoeBlo etc.). However there are a small minority who see this forum as an opportunity to mess around, complain, and be an absolute n00b about everything. Settling in here I found many willing to give me advice on how to improve my robots and help me settle in. Eltist? You really have to be kidding....

These are my weightmakers, smashysmashy. They attach where ever you click in the bot lab (like smartzones) so they can be placed out of the way of construction.
They subtract the exact amount of weight required to make a SHW or UHW (-400 and -4200) then just build to the normal 800kg limit and when you remove it, your robot will be 1200kg (removeing is required otherwise the robot wont work..)
That's great. Thanks

I want to make a SHW. Don't know where to find anti-ballasts so I can do this. Any ideas?
Thanks

CF = Carbon Fiber. The big long brown and black thing on top. 
And by "shrink", we normally mean reduce the surface area of the baseplate so that the components just fit and not much more.
derp. Thanks, NFX.

Shorten the CF extender, and either shrink the chassis around the components, or lower the armour if it keeps havoking.
Thanks NFX, but now I'm confused. What's the CF extender? (and I can't shrink the chassis because it the lowest it can be and I need it to be that width because I'm using a TWM3R and the axle needs to be in the centre, and the armour is plastic 1 IIRC) Everyone, please don't argue about opinion on what I should do. All it does is confuse me
