I didn't have a clue there was a sequel. But I played through Uniplayer, and here are my rankings. =D

Looks very nice indeed. =D Only problem I can see is the lack of axle supports for the drums.

I would attempt to make the flippers wider and longer, maybe by using a pair of Titanium sheets, attached by an Alu extender of some sort. I'd also try to have the bursts less exposed, maybe try mounting them inside the chassis, if you can. I might try Overkill wheels as well, the Cobra ones aren't centralised, plus they don't look as cool, I think. =P

Tidied it up a bit. Swapped the Iron for a Razor, and the Rubbers for Grannies.  798.5. Still DSA, 3 Nifties and a SnapperII. I've calculated that approximately 16kg is saved with the battery setup I used.

And in other news:
I am have been promoted from Dishwasher guy to food prep guy at my job. 
Wow, you're really moving up the ladder.  Nah, in all seriousness, congrats on your promotion. I'm sure someone'll post the arbitrary Robotnik clip sooner or later. In other other news, I've just finished watching Time Bandits. <expletive>ing mental film.

See, this is why Jack Daniels built that effogy of you for Bot of the Month. =P

He's going to find out sooner or later...but yeah, maybe that wasn't the best way to break it to him. Spoiler'd for the benefit of Hard Bot, providing he hasn't read Nar's post yet. I think I'm right in thinking that Santa Claus was invented by Coca-Cola. And the name is a direct derivation of the Dutch St. Nicholas. Which became Saint Niklaus, and eventually Santa Claus.

I lol'd. It actually looks quite good, it'd look even better after a decent skin job. I'm guessing they're the self-righting wings and the tail you've used at the front?

I lol'd at the enormous hammer pole with one razor tip. =D
Side Hammer/FS Complex design seems like quite a good idea, if you team it with a traditional FS setup at the front. I'd try and add some extra drive in there, though.

Should put them in the Components folder. There's a shwmaker folder, uhwmaker folder, and .txt files for both of them.

And swap the angled poly sheet on top for a CF extender. Then replace the Typhoon Spikes with razors. =D

I can't remember what the first PM I got was. The first one in the ones I deleted was from Urjak with my Wiki registration stuff.

Woo, just cleared out my PM Inbox. =D 44 Pages down to 10. Yay bandwidth.

If it's a serious DSL bot, then they should be BSG's. If it's IRL, then the motors shouldn't be exposed like that
=> you implying IRL isn't serious DSL. Thank you NFX. 
Anyways, why are metal hinges so hated in IRL ? Because the mass has decided so, or is there a reason for it ? They're pretty much realistic, and snapper wedges (which are probably better than metal hinges) are not frowned upon.
DSL and IRL are different building styles. Though the line is being blurred by some. IRL places aesthetics above efficiency, whereas with DSL, it's the other way around. Both are excellent, in my view, and both take different building aspects seriously. =D And Metal Hinge - or sprung - wedges are only ever used in IRL for side defense. If you tried to use it on the front as an offensive strategy, it would simply dig into the ground, and severely hinder your mobility, probably folding under you sooner or later.

If it's a serious DSL bot, then they should be BSG's. If it's IRL, then the motors shouldn't be exposed like that, and GET RID OF THOSE METAL HINGE WEDGES. Seriously, they really do turn my nuts the wrong way.
Still needs more batteries and less armour, though.

Hammer/Flipper Hybrid? Don't see too many of those. I'd try to get the hammers potisioned closer to the center of the machine, though, rather than out at the sides. I'd also swap the Mags for BSG's, to save on weight and batteries. I'd drop the armour to Tite 5 at the very most, and add some more batteries to supply the bursts, I think you need at least 14 for this design if you used four BSG's.

I think Naryar's just worried about losing his Man Points. My skin seems to have reverted itself back to the Standard one. I'll switch it back to Xmas immediately.

Try mounting the motors on the long sides of the chassis. That'll make it more square, and give you hopefully space for the 100cm Disc.

You've got a 150cm disc at the moment. A 100cm disc would focus your weight closer to the center of the bot, and allow you to spin up faster. It'd also allow you to add some more weaponry for added destructiveness.
And yeah, Plastic 3's pretty good.

Plastic 1 seems a little bit risky to me, and NPC's and Ant wheels don't really seem that good a combination to me. I'd try Mini Wheels at the very least, and try to upgrade that armour. Maybe swap the Medium Beater Bars for razors to get a little bit of weight for that. How stable is it?
