Yeah, you might wanna rethink your support structure too - if any real bot had supports held on like that with round tubes connecting them from that far back, it'd probably crumple.

Those hammers will hardly ever hit anything because I doubt anything will go up the skirts. I'd also try find more weight efficient ways of stabilization.
Also on the original 'salad' thing you should tilt the motor angle up so you don't need to start with your wheels off the ground and your skirts on the ground. Them being flat when you start is hugely advantageous to turning and stability. Try putting the mag onto one of the flipper segments on the side, which means it's easily angled and you can get rid of the 3rd multi inside the chassis.

Well that's something you've learnt for the future. Cutting/Ripping Teeth suck, and avoid Spike Strips wherever possible. That's something lots of people can take away from this.

It's not 3 countries in 1. They're not independent from each other, you don't need a passport to cross Wales/England/Scotland. Scotland may potentially be fighting for it's independence from us in the future, in which case it will compete on it's own. Because it will be it's own country. It is literally just like the states of USA, as far as I'm aware. It's not 3 independent countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom

Weaponed flipper should be built out of iron spikes and large beaters in DSL2. Spike strips aren't too bad but... normals.
also, anyone who considers the cutting and ripping teeth good weapons is completely clueless. That is all.
I used it in one of my old bots, and it actually worked well. It would cause a lot of damage coupled with the spikes and it was really consistent in terms of throwing a bot.
The teeth are awful for damage. Even replacing each one with a razor would cause more damage. I really, really recommend you try making a generic 'popup' design using razors, maybe even iron spikes, then say that spike strips and teeth cause lots of damage. And this is coming from someone who doesn't even build popups. It's just common knowledge.

1) Don't use mags, they're no more powerful than BSGs and use more power.
2) If you want a weaponed flipper, for the love of everything DON'T use spike strips. Please. My brain melts.

All I'm gonna say is for everyone to make sure they check dates on things before they post, and check if they really want to bring something up from so far back, and also that people shouldn't start some argument here, over just a bump.
Badnik, Jonzu, Alex etc, may I suggest writing an open letter to discuss how you feel rather than carrying on spamming this thread and making it a bigger thing than it needs to be.

Just as a quick update, my GTM server has now expanded to 3 distinct areas, 2 creative/survival choice towns and one strictly survival town, which has been going down very well :D

I am proud of my mention on the TVTropes page. In fairness it is one of the best examples :P

Tried what Conraaa suggested to the VS. Doesn't look very appealing, I must say, but if heavy plows are as good as made out...

Yes, Mudkip was based upon an axolotl Nary :P

I'll look into that in a bit, thanks. In other news... AXEoBOTl It's an axolotl robot with an axe.  If you're concerned about weight or armour you're doin' it wrong. But it's a HW. :P
