Get rid of all the empty white space around the image.

What kind of example are you trying to set? :V

While usually one to practice good cropping and background transparency, I am on my dad's laptop and I make the flowchart on a website, which automatically generated an imaged.

Edit: Happy now? =P

The second step is dumb. You should always lay out your parts first in the bot to make sure it is airtight before building it.

That's not true. Many times I'll start with a huge box chassis and put the components in it to test different layouts and such before deciding on my chassis shape.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

Best flowchart ever. ALTHOUGH- Since it's for newbies....
You forgot about the step where it has to beat EMERGENCY.
I mean, assuming they use stock AI.

Thanks, I just thought that a link would be easier than repeating the same stuff in every newb's showcase. ;)

This needs to be improved so it is more complete, but not TOO complex.

that's what I do. Make a huge chassis first and see how I can make things work.
