Unless I can make something effective, Hazard will have to do.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Although, I must admit something. I'm really having trouble building a rep that I want that fits in with the weight limit. I know it was done to encourage building of IRL robots that GTMers built themselves, but I think it would've been far better if the weight had been middleweight.
I absolutely agree with him

To be clear, skinned components are allowed right?

I realise, but I've got to ask you something. As I'm more used to building DSL Middle and Heavyweights, what are the best motors to use for 4-wheel drive LW rammers?

Slimbodys if you can fit them. But the drive would be about 1/3 of your bots weight. :P

That's the trouble, really. Any robot I try to build realistically in LW always becomes too heavy, and even if I fix it, my useless computer ALWAYS resets the moment it tries to save   :trollface

Some 2wd LW's that'd be not too hard to make in DSL:
Code:BLACK
Concretor
Monarch
Paladin
Snipe
Widowmaker 2


and there's a ton more. This also ignores robots where the wheels aren't visible from the top/sides, where it could be 2 or 4 wheels.

He posted his Mr. Self Destruct (basically an upgraded Ruiner) on his showcase.

Anyway, without further ado, I'll make the Code Black rep, send a basic unskinned version to guarantee my place, and then in September, send a properly skinned version when I can access Photoshop at my school.
