Sawbots are basically [[VS]] with disc components instead of weapons on extenders.
Sawbots are basically [[VS]] with disc or sawblade weapon components instead of weapons on extenders.
Contrarily to classical [[HS]]/[[VS]] or drums that features bars/discs/tribars, a sawbot's weapon is just (as the name implies) a saw or circular weapon (single component) attached to a motor. Middleweight and especially heavyweights can have multiple saws.

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]].
