Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.

First, go to the Team HQ in your game, and select a robot. You'll notice an "Export Bot" button at the bottom. Click that, choose what you want to name the bot, then click OK. Your robot is now saved as a .bot file in the Robot Designs folder, in the same directory as the main game.

When you click on the Bot Lab, you want to Upload your bot, and depending on what mod and weight class it is, it'll be uploaded in a different place. Let's say you have built a Stock HW, you'll click on the Heavy Weight link under Stock Upload. On the next screen, select Browse, then go to your Robot Designs folder, and select the bot you want to upload. Once you click Upload File, your bot will be uploaded onto the Bot Exchange. =)

Nobody has mentioned the compatibility folders... I'll let somone else explain that since I still use XP and have no clue where they are.

I'm on Windows 7, I've never even heard of compatibility folders. RA2 runs perfectly fine for me.

I thought the entire RA2 folder was placed in a different directory by default on Windows 7, but I might be wrong. I'm probably thinking of Vista having that issue.

Ah, I see. All my RA2 stuff is in my C:/Users/directory, rather than C:/Program Files, but it still works.

Just don't install RA2 in Program Files (the regular or x86) and you won't have to deal with that.

Mine are installed to a folder on the desktop. I'm assuming that qwerty's are just in the default location in the directory.
