Swap the position of the bsgs and the mags so the weapons dont intersect. Then lower the armour and add more weapons

wtf are you on about mystic

i think it would be better to have a 4x1 chassis, put the npc's in the chassis and then have 2 layers of weaponry, instead of it being really wide. also those sledgehammers are kinda useless. use the 5kg beater bars with razors and have the end razors angled slightly, so the rest of the weapons aren't touching the floor (though you can use angled skirts if you have enough weight and aren't facing the rule of 7). i think using vlads would be better also.

rebuild of a bot i liked but was lost sometime ago

tite 1, npc normals and 2 ants. it's much better in the fact that it has more weapons and is much more stable and less havoky. although it isnt invertible at all now and occasionally havoks D:

1. anywhere between 10 and 20 minutes usually
2. probably this bot, although i dont usually have many troubles building bots aha
3. irl: either this one or this one
standard: i guess this bot, although those flail rammers are pretty good too

a tip to save chassis space is to put down 1 ant flat, then raise another ant 2 notches and put it on top of the last one. since this robot only needs 4 ants you can easily reduce the chassis to 2x1, then put the drive on the outside (and possibly downgrade the drive to regular NPC, given that regs have much more hp than fasts). no idea why ty4er thinks a 6x1 chassis is fine.

width mostly. although looking at how you've set up those extenders, a 4x1 chassis is better

instead of using 2 disks, use shell panels instead and try and get 3 razors on per panel. you might want to swap the wheels for technos and shrink the chassis. a 6x1 chassis is fine

its more fun and easy to build in

not always true

noobs build irl because other noobs (and badnik) tell them to. it's a lot easier to build in irl because you dont think about 'how can i make this bot have more weapons/drive' or anything like that. personally i think that people should build for the rule of cool more than irl, it looks a lot better and you dont think 'oh this bot has too many weapons what do i do' (although people shouldn't think that in any case anyway). the term irl can mean so much, and you aren't building up to any kind of level, which is why i think we should use the rule of cool in place of irl instead, for a better standard of building.

although i do think people should build dsl standard before any of this
