Question: Are those wedges meant to flip anything or are they just meant to be wedges? Because if they are just there to be wedges, you could probably get down to about 8/10 ants.
Just to be wedgey.
Don't use the cheat control board, and you might want to try using metal hinge wedges, which can be just as good as snapper wedges but a lot lighter.

Watch out for AGOD though XD
Sorry, never knew that board was a cheat.

AGOD? I probably sound a total newb but what does that mean?

Redone half of the extenders to DSL extenders. I'm done for tonight and I have to go to a wedding tomorrow and I have lots of homework on Sunday.

I will report if the extra ant batteries improve the power of the BSGs, I have 14 or 15 ATM.

Anything else I can improve?

I'll change the extenders then.

I'm downlaoding Sage's DSL, so I'll transfer this bot over, after I replace the extenders on my bot, and I can start from there.

If I'm totally honest, I don't see the fuss over the extenders.

I appreciate you guy's help and all, but to me it just doesn't seem neccesary. I'll change it anyway, though.

I added more ants, and downgraded the armour to titanium 5, to accomodate the batts.

Sorry. I only used square because it is easier to get the orientation right for the razors. Any I didn't think the reds mattered as they weren't exposed, and were the nearest ones in the extender tab. I'll go change the reds now, but the squares are needed for me, as I cannot get the attachment points to point in the right direction with the round extenders. Does it really make that much of a difference? The squares have 1 more KG and the same HP.

And I'll add more ants.

Or ant batteries.

Any advice on the bot?

Mix stock and DSL? If you are referring to Emergency, That is Critical Emergency. If not, could you tell me what you mean?

so... what about hammers on a motor?
It means you're making a VS.

Does this apply to stock aswell? Meaning hammers are good in stock!?

Yes it does apply, and no hammers still suck in stock.
*Quietly changes all my stock bots*

I learnt that Razor Tips are the most damaging weapon in DSL. Am I wrong?  :confused:

Thing is, my bots don't look all that special as well. They're built so that I enjoy using them in battle, not always to win. Not exactly showcase material. I may make a few showcase robots soon though.

Also, anyone know if DSL 3.0 is coming out?

This is more of a chat thread now. Maybe I should start a new thread the the newbie forum?

I've been through quite a few pages on the wiki, so I know most of the really famous forum member. I have been looking at 123savethewhale's showcase. He started building good bots really quickly.

Should I get NAR AI? I can beat most of the DSL HWs with most of my bots (Usually with an OOTA). I'm not that confident I can beat the NAR bots...

Also, about the showcase, my robots are incredibly combat inefficient. I enjoy building flippers with static spikes, and I usually use 'cheat parts' (i.e Judge burst, some random downloaded components on occasion).
I could go on forever why my bots aren't up to scratch. The only thing I'm really good at is wedges, but even then I find it hard to get under the DSL emergency on a head on collision.

Thanks for the continued encouragement.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I may stay for a bit, but I'm not too sure about the showcase. I'm not the best builder, and I make bots to have fun with, not to destroy everything else in the arena. Still, I would like to know how to get better, I mainly build flippers and the odd popup/VS. Still, that is for another thread.

Anyway, thank you again for the warm welcome.

Hello, this is my 1st post on these forums, so please don't flame if this is in the wrong area ect...

Anyway, I am searchibng for interesting components to use on my DSL 2.1 version of the game, and I came across this:
https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2/Components/GSE_bigbrotherflipper.exe
I am a big fan of the Robot Wars robot Bigger Brother, and I downloaded it. however, as it is a .exe file, I am not sure weather (spelling?) it is safe to open. A few months ago I had my OS completely broken by a .exe file. As all the other component pack I have downloaded are .zip, I was wondering if this one is safe.

Thanks for your help.
