I have finally got around to making a stock case after really only playing DSL since I had it.
Here is my first bot Keritgo

Can you please finish adding spikes to your incomplete rack, rather than being uuuuuuuuunnnnnndddddeeeeerrrrrwwwweeeiiiigggghhhhhtttttt ?

Ben Purse · « **Reply #2 on:** December 31, 2010, 07:11:02 PM »

Is this better?

I used T connecters because some Iron Spikes went to the back of the extender but T connecters make a complete rack.

I'd suggest removing the pole spike. It's doing nothing, and keeps opponents away from the Irons- those are what you want to be hitting the opponent with. Also, try using black or red bars. They're lighter, stronger, and you'll be able to fit far more spikes on.

No, you use the attachment point at the other end to make the round extenders face the same way. You can get twice the amount of irons on for much less extender weight.

Is this better now?

NFX · « **Reply #6 on:** December 31, 2010, 07:23:01 PM »

Yes, that is better. That's the way most static ramming racks are arranged. If you remove the plow and its attachment from the back, you'd have enough weight for a couple more irons on the front. It's unlikely that you'll be attacked from the back, unless it's a rumble.

Naryar · « **Reply #7 on:** December 31, 2010, 07:33:11 PM »

Yes, you got it !

Four Razors

NFX · « **Reply #9 on:** December 31, 2010, 08:24:23 PM »

Not terribly bad. Swap the SnapperII for a DDT to get a better wedge, though. And 4 razors is a little bit low on a MW, in my opinion. 6 or 8 would be preferable.

Naryar · « **Reply #10 on:** December 31, 2010, 08:31:46 PM »

uuuuuuuuunnnnnndddddeeeeerrrrrwwwweeeiiiigggghhhhhtttttt AGAIN.

Oh, and I fixed your thread name. This building level is above average for a new showcase, and average in overall, so no need to flagellate yourself.

Ben Purse · « **Reply #11 on:** December 31, 2010, 08:37:09 PM »

New and improved Kartzae with 9 razors now

Naryar · « **Reply #12 on:** December 31, 2010, 08:37:38 PM »

Huge amounts of empty space aren't going to help.

9 razors on a single DDT is also too much.

NFX · « **Reply #13 on:** December 31, 2010, 08:38:29 PM »

9 razors is a bit much for one DDT. Try 2 DDT's, with 4 razors on each arm. And Nar's right on the space front(ier).

Ben Purse · « **Reply #14 on:** December 31, 2010, 08:58:02 PM »

Sized downed the chassis but i had to use a snapper as a wedge as a DDT would not fit.

9 razors.

Extend the chassis until it does. Also, this needs 2 blacks.

But then it will be a heavyweight and I will have empty space.

You could try your hand at the Psycolone Popup Challenge, it's a good exercise in chassis space management.

Is their any link to that? I would like to try it.

NFX · « **Reply #19 on:** December 31, 2010, 09:12:32 PM »

There's not really a link that I know of, but the idea is to make a MW popup with 2 Blacks, 2 HP Z-Teks with rubber wheels, 3 DDT motors, 8 razors and DSA Armour.
