You could at least be helpful.

Av, I suggetst you decrease the chassis height significantly, to make it invertible, and then add more weapons.

Admittedly, it does look a bit like a poor clone of Tornado. But that's probably just me.

I reckon you could potentially get twice the amount of spikes on there if you used the other connection points on bars instead of those T-Connectors. If possible, try to avoid using T-connectors outside your robot. They're about as durable as a Chocolate Teapot.

looks mighty unstable. You should mount the drive on the snapper and change to shinies.

As G.K. said, it does look unstable. In fact, about as unstable as a Jelly Skyscraper in an Earthquake.

But that aside, not bad for a first Beetleweight, I suppose.

As far as i can see, it is most likely better than Tornado.

Anyways, why is this chassis so huge ? You can downgrade to 1 black battery as well (or even 1 Nfty but you'll run low on power soon) and the weapon setup isn't the best with these extenders.

Does it have DSA as well ?

Um,are you talking about hurricane?
I tried DSA in the times when i was not even on these forums,And it took less hits for a bot to kill it than with steel so i opted for steel.

Yes i am.

And i can guarantee you that DSA > Steel... it is written in the bot file.

That would be inconsistent. Don't use an HS. Actually, no bot can create the same damage consistently. Your best bet would be a hammer with a single razor.

If you know enough about bot files you WILL see that DSA is stronger than steel (2 times stronger than standard aluminium = stronger than steel)

What likely happened is you applied steel, tested it, then applied aluminum. This means that DSA is not possible at that point. In order to get DSA, ignore the armor tab completely.


For once the mods did something right
