Move the Ant batteries else where and fit in maybe a flatmotor.
Putting a pair of weaker motors in will probably hinder you just as much as axles - the slow front ones will only rotate at a certain speed... Honestly my way to improve the drive would be NPC's but that's a rebuild, hence I didn't mention.

Good job with building to the weight limit, but those wheels won't increase turning speed when there's nothing powering them. You may also want to try getting that small wedge a little less vertical, I imagine it'll have trouble getting under stuff.

Tomkiadan will get destroyed in battle - just look at the weight class it's in, and it's weight!
It's important to try and stick as closely as possible to weight limits - if you can remove just 50kg from it, it becomes a decent middleweight.

You said all hammers :P
Anyway, they all use the same smartzone. Check your file for smartzone1.txt

Well neither UnDeadbeat or Velociraptor use those so I doubt it's that. It also can't be their AI because they use Omni, as does a lot of other stuff.

You made an anti-ballast using a smart zone, right? Which smart zone did you use? It's possible you used one that those hammers use.

Have you tested this in several arenas?

Firstly, that's a massive image for a tiny bot, shrink it down. You could still have invertibility with smaller, less heavy wheels if you raised your motors up inside, and also if that weapon assembly is fixed, I imagine the actual chassis isn't straight up in battles? Having the chassis straight rather than bent over improves steering. But yeah, that mag is massively exposed. What are the internals?

Well, you've had 3 months already, so what I will grant now is a technical extension, as you have made progress closely before the deadline.
This technical extension means 2 things, however:
1) You must post 6 videos a week, minimum, until it's finished.
2) You will not gain a host score point for hosting this tournament at the end of it, and if you don't complete the tournament in the extension, you will lose one, as you would by not meeting the deadline (which would actually put you on -1).

Yeah, in any type of DSL building it's not really allowed to have things cutting through things like motors, batteries, wheels etc, so those hammers that cut through the belt wouldn't be allowed in a tournament. You could always try scaling your design down to MW and using a disc with teeth rather than hammers.

Haven't heard that name in a while, heh.
But yeah, that front wedge is ugly and you're quite a way underweight.
I would consider posting the insides of your robots as well as the outside so people can help with the layout.
(Finally be careful with off-topic posting, as the rules state, excessive off-topic posting can get you in trouble.)

Seems like old members are coming back.
If I had £1 for every time I've read this on the forum, I'd have considerably more £1's than I currently do.

Why delete? Simply move the DSL3 Beta files into the V1.4 folder and Overwrite All when the message pops up. If you're deleting things, you may be deleting something the game needs.
