Needs moar razors, less empty space.
He has a total of 10 razors, i don't see much space i can fill up, but i could probably fit a pink batt in there.
I've built a Heavyweight pop-up with 60 razors. 10=/=60
60 razors is complete overkill. Seism 13 only has 10 razors, R4 had 20. I think 20's the maximum you can get away with while still being reasonably effective.
And it has no external armour. :P

Thing is, Razorous (my Axle Drum/Frequency Rammer from a while back) "only" had 62 razors. Which I thought was enough.

Wow, your bots just keep getting better and better! :)
And I can't wait to go against you on Multiplayer again....now that I'm getting better, I think.
Darn, why does your game have to be messed up?

Keep your designs simple. That last popup is incredibly messy.

Here is my new bot, Mutant flower. (well, i'm not for sure on his name)





+ 799.0 KG
+ DSA
+ 3 Rows of axes
- Not invertible
- Empty Space
Ok i did BFE him to fit the airtanks in (you might see they are out side the chassis) but i might make a legal version for contests. oh! and here is The Dreaded Shredder going against some starcore bots: (still on my sisters pc)





 Tell me how i can improve him!

Those look to be V3 machines, judging by Maelstrom. If you get V4, then Maelstrom has twice as many weapons, and MUCH better protection.

Also, the front pointy bits of the chassis are pointless, you can chop them off and extend the chassis back a little to get the air tanks in properly. Although the piston isn't doing much, I'd just make it a normal rammer. In which case it needs at least 4WD HPZs. T connectors are effectively wasted weight, round extenders are much lighter, and give you two AP's for weapons in this configuration. But axe heads are a pretty good choice on rammers, you could add some more of those with some leftover weight.

Yeah, please swap out the t connectors for regular extenders and use the side attachment points.

Make them red too... for Sage.

Looks rather cool, but AWFULLY inefficient.

Yeah, please swap out the t connectors for regular 20cm ROUND extenders and use the side attachment points.

Black fits more the color theme, but put just one red round extender too... for Sage.

I thinking about Starcore 4 but it's a alpha so less bots and more errors, yeah if i don't have the piston i don't need the air tanks, i was lazy about the T connectors because they're easier :P i gonna change them.

BFE = D:

Really! it isn't that hard, I'm gonna make a guide when i get 250 posts...

That's true, but you need to get some practice in with regular competition bots beforehand, otherwise you will end up with a Zombie Pirate Ninja. It was one of my earliest DSL bots, I entered it in BBEANS 6, and it got soundly thrashed. =]

And Starcore V4 might have less bots, but I have so far spotted no errors with it at all, and the robots are considerably more challenging. Maelstrom, as I said, has twice the weaponry and far better protection, and it's pretty much the same right the way through the pack.

I'm gonna try out Starcore 4.

Cool. I don't really see the point of the upper plows on Anti-Gravity and those wedges don't look very efficient. For Alpha Bomb, downgrade the drive to regular Z-Teks (unless you can shrink the chassis well enough or something) and stack a black.

Well, the upper plows are mostly just to fill up the weight :P but i think it makes self righting easier, and bots get right under him without the wedges.

For Alpha Bomb, downgrade the drive to regular Z-Teks (unless you can shrink the chassis well enough or something) and stack a black.
regular Z-Teks will probably help him not fly around the place (but that's when he caused the most damage, but i'll try it anyway) and yeah, i can stack a black.
