It'll help you improve your building skills.
much empty space. Is it invertible?
For the other bot
Use HPZs
you need one black for this
Shrink the chassis as low as possible
use shinnies
put Irons on the disk if you want a disk type, or use a Tri-bar.
You should replace disc of doom's disc with a tribar and dual razors/irons.
You could also put in 4 HP zteks and there's plenty of room for two black batteries.

Hey can you for once tell him something good he did
Yeah, Disc of Doom. OK.
No room, the HPZs are too big,
(Still) No room, the batteries are too big.
I don't mean it like that just telling him one nice thing is enough and then the help tipsHey can you for once tell him something good he did
I'm trying to help him build better robots. Filling my posts with fluff about how wonderfull he is is all good and nice, but it's not gonna help him build a better robot.
He is doing one primary thing I like, and that's keeping the chassis simple. Simple chassis are excellent foundations for good robots.Yeah, Disc of Doom. OK.
Well discs are rather inefficient, but if you really must keep the disc at least double up the weapons.No room, the HPZs are too big,
(Still) No room, the batteries are too big.
Re-make your chassis. This time when you do the height, make the chassis six tics higher than the lowest height. This is big enough for both Zteks and black batteries but it still low enough for shiny wheels to reach both the top and bottom.

When the bot is good I will tell him so. Until then I'll tell him things to make it better. It's not my job to make him feel good about himself, but to make him a better builder.
First off, if you won't rebuild your chassis and say things like "OH NOES IT WON'T FIT" there's no point in me helping you out with anything else. Rebuilding your chassis is the most fundamental aspect of bot building, and just putting parts in a chassis is the most inefficient way to build. Remember this.
The second thing is the weight limit. LW ~ 249, MW ~ 399, HW ~ 800. What the heck are you doing with a 412 kg bot? It's easy enough to get down to a MW, just remove ALL the pinks and use ONE black battery. Instead of 4 redbird drive, use 2 HPZ or normal ztek drive. YES THIS WILL REQUIRE A NEW CHASSIS. Heck, this bot could be a LW if you used RAD drive.
Once you free up weight by making the chassis the right size (means close to NO empty space) then you will probably have more weight for weapons. You could double up the irons on the disc using extenders, for twice the damage.
Now for the popup. Remove the wedges on the baseplate extenders and put a DDT motor > 20 cm ROUND! extender > ONE small wedge. do this for both sides. Remove that horrible, inefficient, and ugly weapon system on the center DDT and use round extender with razors on them. Add another nifty to the left side of the robot opposite the one you already have, and remove the pink battery.
When the bot is good I will tell him so. Until then I'll tell him things to make it better.
Geez.Is this name means the cheat from Warcraft3?
@Thyrus- Because there was no more room to put anything else into it.
Anyway, my new bot, All Your Base Are Belong 2 Us:

First of all building stock in DSL = massive fail
Second, I will list what is good and bad in this bot:
Good:
Uses Blacks and not Pinks and Nifties
Built to the weight limit
Bad:
Everything else
errrrm ok... Wait, was he pointing to Atom Smasher or Alien Queen?

K, I'll tell him he's a fail.
I think he means the SC4 version.
I got it but only three bots on each team show up:S
Geez.

How come Preytor answered for freeziez...
Double-accounting maybe?
THERE'S NEW ALIEN QUEEN?

Stack the blacks and get a DDT wedge in there. Oh, and use shinies and rotate the Irons so they hit at once.
You only really need Shiny wheels, if not then Grannies. The wheelguards are probably unecessary. Rotate the Irons so they all hit at once.
where's the air?
But I want double-sided ice picks.

The skin choice makes it eye-raping IMO though
BUMPMount the weapon motors on one Snapper II :rage
Meh...

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/44465b.PNG)
You could get away with one SnapperII for this, but you'd need Static RAD drive. And then you'd have to do something to avoid it turning into a Fury klone.I think the drive is static, I see nothing to make it snapper mounted.
Remove 1 drive motor :POH YOU
Why do they spin in the same direction? O,o
Make them spin outward, yo.
You always could just re-build the whole thing.Why do they spin in the same direction? O,o
Make them spin outward, yo.
Because I messed up.
But when I went to change it, it AGODed and both HPZ axles went flying and now I can't find them.
So I took the robot design of the one in the picture and kept it.
You shouldn't really post bots if you know they have glaring weaknesses that should really be fixed before showcased. Unless you are having severe trouble and are in need of assistance.
Both of those HS are Rammer bait. Neither are well protected or well weaponed enough to consistently defeat a very common foe.
snapper load the t extender off and put the motors on it without using other extenders

I didn't ask for your sh**, if I posted it, I thought it was good.

WELL.......
I was actually giving you good advice. Can't be here for more than two days and I'm already dealing with morons.
Too bad buddy, you thought wrong.
So next time you want somebody to help you, I'll make sure no one does since you can't even take my "sh**" and put it to good use.
That's just Inf's thing. He gives good advice, but he doesn't give it gently.This.
this obviously needs more red extenders.Joke's worn off.
this obviously needs more red extenders.You can only spam that in Sage's showcase.
Listen, Naryar gave you the correct advice first hand. And you didn't do anything he said. I would not need to post here if you could just listen to somebody who knows what they're doing. Do my eyes deceive me or does it not say "Need help." Under the first picture? WELL IF YOU WANT HELP YOU HAVE TO LISTEN BECAUSE THE NEWEST VERSION IS NO BETTER
Lighten the extender work, and I believe you can be fine with only one nifty.
Besides, you can still lighten that extender work further; use extenders instead of t-connectors.
