Here was my first complete bot,... WAY over done on chassis.....

Lots of wasted space. I didn't realize how much weight was wasted. It's round chassis was max-ed out on the building grid, and it's height was the default height (not sure I even noticed the adjustment at first)....

it was Forest Ranger have big chassis and wheels...lol
and all other robots have the same big wheels, big chassis...until i first time played online(it was about 6 months later) and saw absolutely other design. From that time i began to build something crazy(for me) but still it was sh**...

The person that won that online fight was Lugica. I remember seeing that same picture in his showcase.

My frist was a mid. with a purnamic sipike, two red-brides, alumaman armor.
The bot was a P.O.S..

My very first bot was a LW wedge shaped chassis with nothing on it. I thought "My steel armor will pay off". It couldn't even flip, just drive, and was actually good in arena's with pits. Good enough to beat the stock LW's, that is.

I miss those days too! Now I can't make a bot without wasting hours on optimizing the chassis >_>

The first bot I can remember making had 6 HP Ztek drive and 3 pistons with iron spikes, arranged like this: \|/ Due its own nature(I couldn't fit enough batteries in!) it's what taught me that you don't NEED to supply 100% power =p

my first bot was pretty good against the standard AI. i made apussycat style bot with 4 hp z tecs for drive and 2 pistons with a spike on the end of each for weapons. i used 1 nifty and a small CO2 tank and i used to get really annoyed because it would go so slow after 10 seconds of battle lol
