Nice design. Don't use DSL in stock.

And you have chassis space.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

By DSL in stock do u mean using DSL with the total conversion mod or using DSL with stock parts. And theres not much mroe i can oput in there becasue the weight was at 750 kg.

DSL with stock parts

I'd ask you to uninstall DSL, or get the 1.3 patch.

-You have much empty space - avoid that
-Don't mix stock components with DSL components.
(repetitive)

-You can underpower your bot if it uses only spin motors. Also ant batts pwn because your batteries will last longer.
-Use good wheels in DSL. Best are Techno Destructo, Hypnodisc, both of the DSL wheels, Vladiator, Tornado.

________________________________

I was feeling nice so i built you an example:



Still, this is not what i call a good bot - just an example.

Finally, install a fresh copy of RA2, patch the thing, then install DSL following the instructions.

Also DSL is much more high powered than Stock. Using a stock bot to fight a DSL ones is bravery (or suicide, depends of the bot) and using a DSL bot to fight a stock bot is easy as heck, and considered cheating.

EDIT: one last thing: unrealistic DSL bots (bots that couldn't be built IRL) are really disliked.________

1. That should be a bad bot Naryar because it is underweight

2. Obviously, you messed up installing DSL. bigtime. It can get fixed though

3. Use stock parts only with other stock parts against Stock bots (same for DSL)

4. That has to be the most unstable bot I have ever seen. EVER.

False. Building a good 700-kg HW isn't very difficult.

BotWarrior, remember that these tips are mainly for stock. Don't use DSA in DSL. NEVER.

BTW that showcase should be moved to the DSL one.

You guys forgot to mention:
DSL is for realism, if youre building in DSL, do not stack/glitch when building.
