QFT, but wouldn't it be better if the plastic extenders were replaced by angled skirts? They're wider and stronger.

And if I may say something about this award: Both The Ounce and Craaig deserve it... trust me. I was the lucky you-know-what that beat them. But, I went with the first guy that lost. Sorry, Ounce.
You know that doesn't help since I never completely got over that loss, but thanks for thinking I deserve it anyway. My votes: Best Rookie: Resentful Princess 2

Not too bad, but yes, follow their advice.   It appears that you still have stock components in your game, which means you didn't install the DSL patch correctly. Use the one in Sage's signature. I think there's a better way to attach the plows, like using a single extender or 2 flipper segments. I know it's a clamp, but I can't see from here how the weapon works; all I can tell from here is that the razors are attached to the Mags.

You might want to use razors on hex plates on piglets.
Static razors? On a non-gutripper? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n5E7feJHw0&feature=related#But yeah, like they said, try different weapons, like small DS teeth or beater bars. I bet you can make the chassis extensions that hold the weapons smaller, since piglet motors (assuming those are what you're using) can be attached slightly outside of the chassis, and the middle section looks vulnerable; add armor if you can. As for the motor issue, keep trying. you might have to make the chassis larger, but the weight gained from using Vlads may be worth it.

Small JXs? I don't like the way you positioned the razors: it doesn't look entirely realistic.

"Building wedges in DSL is bullsh**", eh ?
You know, I've had that in my signature for half a year :P. Notice how many wedged bots I've built during that time and how many were actually successful. What are the 2 titanium skirts on the side for?
Read the last paragraph. Nothing spectacular, but I've made a couple of modifications:  As you can see I've changed Europa's weapon setup (the reason I didn't use a 100 cm disk in the first place was because I thought the increased weapon diameter would take away from its stability) and used the weight gained to add a rear stabilizer.  By slightly changing V.M. Worker's weapon setup, I've made it much more stable. It also has a couple of really lucky wins under its belt:

Wasn't expecting to be promoted any time soon. This orange name will take some time to get used to.
Thanks guys!

When i saw myself losing to Ogre in Yoda's tournament, i saw "heh, nice design, i should ripoff that sometime" and here we go: As in a flipper with razor tips on a beta burst? I've built one of those before: (Image removed from quote.)
But it sucked at dealing damage and was more suited to being a flipper. As for yours, maybe you can add halfsheets on the bottom?

That sucks, I didn't get to vote this time. Don't feel bad R0B0, I always thought Pwn was the better out of us two anyway; he can build designs that are both original and effective. Still, losing my place in the top three DSL builders.............

There's no harm in having a little extra armor, and it's more realistic that way. I don't think it needs more batteries; it already beats Savage Assault pretty much every time. I now present Bullet Ant 6:  5mm plastic, 8 razors, 6 ants. Definitely the best one in the series by far, combining elements from the 3rd and 5th versions (in case some of you are wondering, the 4th one was never shown because it wasn't much different from the 3rd version). It can out-wedge anything (inconsistently, but still), has powerful attacks, and best of all, no AGOD! The angled 40cm skirts from BA3 are back, but this time they're mounted on the burst motors, so now they not only work as armor, but they act as a flipping mechanism to keep its opponent in the air while it hammers on its chassis (no, they do not block the razors), and they also act as a srimech aid.

Yet another VS:  NPC fasts, 3 ants, 6-mag, 20 beater bars, 24 small DS teeth, 2 halfsheets. Before you ask, no it's not a Hellish Uproar rebuild, but since that is what it reminded me of, I gave it that generic flame skin used on the other Uproar bots. Adept at killing wedges including wammers, as you can see, but that rear armor hinders its self-righting capabilities, and doesn't do a very good job of protecting the bot. I'll have to fix that. Also, this is my 1000th non-playground post (real post count is 1094)! w00t!!!

Cool!
I understand the reason for the wedge, but to me it seems like it would keep opponents from hitting the hammers. If this happens often, consider using something shorter than a skirt, or (I really don't want to say it...) the other side of the skirt hinge.

Heh, funny how I was considering entering CO IV.
The chassis seems vulnerable though, even if most of it is only a millimeter thick...

Why?
The weight would be distributed better. Use a shorter extender on the snapper (assuming that's what you have your drive attached to) to attach the drive motors; I would suggest a single 20cm extender.

Finally a new bot:  5mm titanium, 4 NPC fasts, 4 ants, 16 beater bars, 22 razors. Basically a HW version of Neptune, named Triton after Neptune's largest moon, and because our TriTon loves flails so much.  Advantages over its SHW counterpart include a slightly faster spin speed, and a longer reach, so it performs better against wedges.

Change to 3mm plastic; it's more efficient than 3mm aluminum. With the weight gained, get stronger flipping arms, add more external armor, or a longer wedge, whichever possible.

If I recall my first stock team was Team Ragnell, which would later spawn a similarly-named DSL team. The stock team consisted of Thunderbird, a generic poker, a couple of tribar VSs, a disc HS, and a flipper.
The team still exists, but now with more modern stock bots.
