Am I wrong or you want a Spinner from the West entry?

no, no, jk.

Nice to see a new builder...

Well, for your bot... pretty decent, but still have many upgrades to do.

-What does these JX small motors are for? Do you use them as flippers?

-IMO, these Whyachi hammers suck. Use 30kg's instead, and your spinner will have more "range".

-It looks that you haven't enough battery power. Is there another orange batt in the bot?

-That chassis could be made smaller. In RA2, the golden rule is making the tightier chassis possible, that means very few empty space in your bot.

-I don't know what armor you have, but this bot looks weakly defended. There's a lot of unprotected areas. For example, side horizontal attacks (side hammers, horizontal spinners, sit'n'spinners, shell spinners) will damage your chassis easily. Put some external plating (snowplows or simply metal sheets)

Ah, and have a look at the other showcases, you'll learn a lot of things.

Then you can change the JX's for the smallest bursts, it makes for the same wedge and less weight.

it is better. But rear armor isn't really useful here.

You should add front armor and get these wedges really flush to the ground.

Some wedges in the front (the chassis having a wedge) would help for throwing bots, and hitting their undersides.
