Weights for all of them? Are you building for DSL Standard or IRL?

Build to the weight limits, use ant batteries.

Because he linked robotarena.com instead of here as the "get the game here" website.

Here's Pop-Up I made
(Image removed from quote.)
5mm thick steel
Weighs 758.1 kg
With 2 NPC-T64 (fast) motors 2 Micro Wheels 4 pairs of spike strips (8 spike strips in all) and 3 small wedges connected to metal hinges 
That bot's illegal because the spike strips are overlapping the batteries, I suggest changing the batteries to ants (like everyone else have said) and changing the Y-connected spike stripes (which are crap in DSL btw) into a row of razors like this :
(yes this is a HW but the same principles apply to MWs too)
Oh, and also ditch the middle wedge because the left and right wedge's are already doing it's job.
ps : hinge wedges are godly
Ninja'd. I would say middle wedges can work. Doesnt No More Hope (that popup made by 123stw) have 3 wedges? Although I think the middle wedge on Deadgenocide's is 1 pixel further back than the 2 outer wedges, making it useless.

Remember, you should only use ant batteries in the overwhelming majority of bots. 1 per spin motor, 2.5 per BSG burst, and round up.
I havent played DSL in literally years, but IIRC you should use skirts (preferably 120cm steel) for wedges, or the blue wedges or the end of dsl bars or half-sheets.
Also, razors are the best weapons for popups, try to use them. Look up how other popups made by other people attach their razors, since I think using y-connectors is quite inefficient. In addition, the spike strips are going through the batteries atm, which isnt allowed in the DSL standard style of building. You can make the bursts start more vertically to fix this.
However, I can see clear improvement from your earlier bots, both in design, execution and the (lack of) empty space in the chassis. Keep improving!

metal hinges work better for wedges than skirt hinges. I don't think the bot needs to be that high, try to get the beta on the baseplate and then shrink the height of the bot.
Oh, and hypno wheels work best on right/left NPCs

You should try to build to a weight limit, 400 for MW or 800 for HW. Also it looks like it's a bit underpowered but I could be wrong there.

Click posted the new anchors on the previous page, lads.
Still, I hope it has no collision mesh, and angled versions would be sweet too. I played about 10 minutes of DSL 3 after playing IF anf the huge anchors (and massive beta motor) just made me ragequit

Hey Click, any plans on changing the baseplate anchors to ones similar to those in Ironforge? The lack of collision mesh allows so many more interesting designs to happen so much more easily.

sh**ton of money, which combined with some saving is buying me a new GFX card. I just can't decide between this super cheap R9 390x, an MSI r390, a Gigabyte G1 970 (both around £280) or the cheapest 970/390 I can find (around £230).
Help me GTM!
If your power supply is good enough get that 390X
Corsair CX600, which is borderline. I got it, if I have issue I have enough cash left over for a beast PSU.

Looks cool, although I'm a bit concerned about the safety of that snapper. How long does it survive, as well as the stabilizing arms?

@reier
I would be up for getting smashed, if you'd be comfortable doing MW or LW
Great I'll take you on after mystic and Connie. yeah mw or lw is fine with me, I'd probably rather go mw if I had the choice
BTW thanks red
Sure, MW ironforge, ring arena, sounds good?

I'd also try to make the wedges a bit longer too if I were you, it looks like it has a really hard time getting under things
I think the main problem is that it tends to lean back, although longer wedges would help that. I kept the wedges short because I think it looks nicer.

Flip the end around so it lies flush with the ground. Also, plastic 10 is quite heavy if you can find a better use for the weight.
Can't believe I missed that, cheers. I'll see if I can downgrade and add some cool wheelguards or something.

IRL flipper, because I like the shape of it.   Literally useless but oh well I like how it looks.
