Mag weapon motors have 400hp, never expose them. Only use the middle AP of a skirt hinge for a wedge or the wedge will suck (I'm sure we said this before but meh). Never use angle connectors, they have something like 100hp. Be clever with all of the extender APs. Use grippier wheels than rubbers (hypnos are a good choice on LWs and with limited space, otherwise use technos).

Looks a lot like Industrial Coal Miner, I assume that's where the idea came from. Looks cool though.

I would recommend changing the angle connectors for even just extenders (1 20cm extender mounted on it's side could replace your 90 degree thing and the 22.5 one too), and also you could milk a little extra weight out of it by changing the baseplate anchors for the more useful, and lighter, red and black multi-extenders. Just a few tips, there are more, but see what you can do from there :)

Yeah, looks like a klone of it.

Absolutely nothing wrong with kloning when you're starting out, it really helps you nail some important ideas and skills.

You don't need the spikes at the back. The AI only attack the back if you leave it exposed. Use multi extenders instead of baseplate anchors, even though you won't need them in this bot after removing the back spikes. You might be able to get some better wheels or something with the extra weight. Use this link to learn the basics if you haven't already:

That drum bot isn't bad, just get rid of the rear spikes and get grippier wheels.

Learn how to work with a small chassis and then serious progress can be made. Not too bad though.

What armor do you have? Sure is a step in the right direction though.

Yep. Try getting a smaller chassis and start to attatch things outside of the chassis.

Lurk in some other showcases. Shrink chassis and get some armor external armor.

Needs some kind of weapon to KO the opponent. Just flames won't cut it.
