Antiballasts are components you add to a robot. Adding the component takes weight off the robot but the maximum does not change - in other words it decreases the weight of your robot so you can add more weight.
You need to remove the antiballast before testing or going into a match so it doesn't go mad, then you can re-add it in the botlab. When you remove it you will notice the weight of the robot will be above 800kg.
To install it, open that RAR and export whats inside it to your components folder. You can then find the 'weight maker' in the extras section.

[...] where's the sound on the wildcard videos?
Not sure, seems it didn't record - sorry. EDIT: Sorry for the lack of videos today, and there probably won't be any tomorrow either - been trying to get some serious revision done for the big maths exam tomorrow.

You can even use a flipper segment as a few of those. In fact all of them.

I beat Half-Life 2 this morning. I have to say the ending was a bit dissapointing. Mabye Chapters 1 and 2 will be better, or at least end with a better cliffhanger.
Epic game. Can't remember the cliffhangers being much better in the episodes though. Episode 3 will be good, with it being the end of the HL2 stuff. Am I the only one who sees Serge as an admin?
He isn't here, but he has changed the logo up there ^ I`m back
Excellent! :D

Also it is better to have your motors facing the other way like you had it before. It gives your bot a larger stance and protects the motors.
Yuh, I was about to say that - I didn't mean sticking out of the chassis like that, I meant like... uhh... *searches though DSL showcases* https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/45616screenshot_316.PNGThe 3rd bot down there.

I would recommend sticking the NPC's out of the chassis and making the chassis smaller - if you wanna know what I mean, grab a NPC Fast Right, take it to the bottom right corner of your bot and look at how far out of the chassis you can attach it. This could help cut down on weight to be used for more weaponry :D

Like Mario Kart, but with graphics for angsty teens?
Meh.
Mario Kart Wii's terrible though. You can't deny it. It's not even about racing anymore.
Played it once or twice online, when I had a Wii and had some spare DVD-R's lying around. It was okay, I guess. Good ol' Mario Kart.
Meh. It's easier to win if you stay at the back. It fails. Party game. Requires no skill. Mario Kart DS or the original are the only ones i play anymore. :P

Don't downgrade, cos then you'll be dancin' all over the arena. I'd say just put more weight into the bot if you can - maybe making use of the halfsheets in the extras menu if you don't know what to use - theres an attachment point which means you can pop them on the bottom of the chassis and they will never fall off. Ever. (In other words excellent bottom armour) But it sounds like - if you have 2wd - you could put another pair of motors and wheels on.

NPC Fasts are the most commonly used drive motors, and for good reason. They rock. Use the left/right versions and for some reason you can even mount them half-outside the chassis. They weight double a piglet (40kg) but 2 fasts are easily better than 4 piglets in my opinion, especially with the right wheels (the grippest small wheels are Hypnos, otherwise you'll be going up to the big wheels like Techno Destructos)

NarBlo is Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaig
Whaa? G.K. is misinformed. I got over the whole 'haha-double-account' thing after people did Legion, Legion. and Legion.., and I thought they were stupid then, just as they are now.

Neither are me. Promise. Absolute promise. And I stick to my promises.
I think this whole things a bit stupid to be honest.

loool, oops. No point in re-uploading, I'll just put an annotation up or something. I laughed a lot at that, the random message at the end :')

Last 2 matches of Round 2 are up. Later will probably bring the first round of the Loser's Bracket.
