3 miles away ? Then biking to it shouldn't be a problem... unless you live on a mountain ?
Go to school by hang glider.  Just get a music player of your own, and turn the volume up sufficiently so the music coming through your headphones drowns her out. But not so much that you deafen yourself. I find 70% Volume to be a good level for me.

I like the idea of knocking the opponents bots into the FS but it exposes the motors more
Not really, because the HS motor is well protected by the snowplow, like with Child's Play IV, and the FS motor is protected by the razors and the disc. If the razors or the disc are lost, then the motor becomes dead weight, and a drain on the battery.

It's not so much the HP that plows are used for, but the fracture. Once the HP has been depletd, it takes a 2,000 point hit to knock off a Heavy Plow, which is difficult for anything other than a really strongly built rammer to do consistently. But if you stick it on the midpoint of the DSL bar, that's a lot of weight used on the bar that goes past the AP and isn't doing anything, other than being a target. I'd try and seperate the DSL bar into a 20x40 on the end, holding the plow on, and a longer bar behind it to attach it to the DSL disc, or whatever you're deciding to use to attach the extenders.
but haven't you said somewhere that plows don't really work as stabilizers?
I may have said that in Stock, where plows have 1000 HP, and standard fracture. A Heavy Plow in DSL is a completely different story, as it is with most components.

Foul Language? In MY Showcase? Get <expletive>ed. Back to some building. I seem to be recycling this chassis quite a bit for my spinny LW's.  248.7, DSA, 1 Nifty. Finally managed to get a LW FS/HS Hybrid. HS is meant to push opponents into the FS, similar to that IRL HS with the Sir K Drill on the wheel that Click build in DSL. Invertibility's obviously compromised, but aside from that it works reasonably well. Not too sure how I can improve the design much.

It looks cute. But those stabilisers should ideally be longer. Maybe Samurai blades might be a better option. if you dropped down to one caster, and placed it in the center to protect that vulnerable T connector, that may give you the weight for it.

I disagree. It'd probably be a nondescript jazz-style acoustic bass & drumkit accompaniment to the soliloquy.

I didn't konw there was a chart. It would certainly make things a lot easier for everyone. =)

Extend whatever's holding the Perm on to make it realistic? You could add some skirts under the PA Top bits, to defend the Perm once it's furtner out.

Looking awesome. Could you use wide ant wheels and upgrade the middle DS tooth to a razor?
It would stick through the Tite sheet if it was a razor. Plus it would obstruct the two razors on the side.

A Large Air Tank wouldn't fit into the chassis. Medium one seems to last long enough. Would downgrading to Plastic 3 be enough to get a stabilising tail on or something? Something that would be on a lower level than the chassis, and maybe force the wedge into the ground to make it a bit better.

idea get  249.0 (sans Smartzone), Tite 3, 2 ants, TWM3R drive, 1 Medium Air Tank. Wedge is decent, self-rights with the power of the piston.

Press the Pause button before you attach the Perm. See if that works. If you attach it straight away, it spins a little bit, which may cause the AGOD.

Perhaps you should just try a midpoint between what you're trying, and the last one you did. For instance:
1 = Low
16 = High
9 = High
5 = Low
7 = Low
8 = Correct
Something like that.

The chassis shape reminds me of something like a WipEout-style hovercraft thing. It looks pretty good for IRL, though, but you technically only need 3 ants for this (every spin motor needs 1 ant for full power), but 4 or 5 would give it more longevity, plus some weight for more armour, or small aesthetic touches. If you take a look at a bot called Freezerburn in my showcase, it's got a similar sort of design. =) Good work for an IRL bot, though.

wow. Vertikiller did much better than expected. Sorry NFX for kicking you out but atleast we both made it to round 2 in koth. Semi final here we come! 
That's true, but I never really stood much of a chance against you and your 8 razor tips. But hopefully I can do well in KOTH, I was doing rather well there before the match was stopped. Good luck to you. =)

Sweet. Nice work, SKBT.

48 razors? I'd probably widen the wedges as much as you can, though.
