Removed redundancies and unimportant phrases, although contemplating moving the section, as drills are more FS-like than sawbot-like.
As all the saw-like components are lighter than 50 kg, you shouldn't use very powerful motors. Even an E-tek is too much except for the REALLY heavy saw designs, like two heavy replica discs or many chewblades in a drumlike design.

A TWM3R is a good choice for any classic sawblade, but for heavier discs like the replica discs you'd be better off with stronger motors, especially since the disc CAN be stopped if the disc isn't perfectly circular (toothed weapon) or if the motor is really too weak for the weapon.

== Drills ==
A variant of the sawbot is a drill. These robots feature a lengthwise attack zone (compared to the vertical or horizontal attack zones of the traditional sawbots), although designs vary heavily depending on the weight class. Sub-[[Lightweight]] classes take advantage of the [[Chicken Drill]] glitch to deal lethal damage despite only having a single [[Razor]] per weapon motor. While the drill design is not optimal on heavier weight classes for stock, drills in DSL can be a threat simply by spamming light and damaging weapons onto small drums/discs in a lengthwise manner, such as [[Mindless Aggression 4]].
