You win. Next image will be edited. 1 thing, what program would you use?

Thank you, you learnt something today. Badger showcased using MS Paint, but I personally recommend Paint.NET - It's free, versatile, and IMO, better than even Photoshop.

Wait, better than photoshop? I didn’t know that was a thing!

Not really.

You can get a much smaller chassis than it currently has by deleting a battery and mounting the drive motors on their sides. Also, 10 mm aluminium is kinda wasteful, and the supports for the weapon look pretty frail.

There's motor support, which is a good start. If you're using a big chassis, you'll want to skin it nicely to make it look alright. You should also make the disc supports meet the chassis at the edge of the chassis.

And, most importantly, build to a weight limit. You could probably get this bot down to a MW pretty easily.

I think I’ll downgrade armor to make this an MW

Not a bad tomb clone but here is what I would change.
First you could use just one extender anchor for the weapon support as it would save weight and make it easier to get things lined up properly. also more supports are probably needed to make it realistic as well as moving them to the sides of the bot to look more natural. I would fix the colour scheme to make it just 2 colours rather than orange,yellow and red. Try to make it compact and dont waste so much space.To make it more unique give it side guards made of extenders and to make it less boxy

I do have enough weight to add wheelguards. Stay tuned for Fire Burns 2!


Edit: I will enter SpeedSlice into hoppin’s tournament.

There's still a lot of empty space in that chassis, and the chassis is still a boring box with a bad skin. It's not a bad bot, it's just a very boring one that you could make interesting with some work.

Later, I’ll make something more interesting like a flipper.

Way too tall and boxy for its own good.
Add some slopes and/or shrink the height.
I have several opinions.

Firstly I must say its rather boxy, by moving the front wheels back and sloping the front of the chassis you can make vetter use of the arm by making it on panel with 0 bends in it. Secondly, whilst I find the idea of tinting the splash to suit the name of the bot, I find it really of putting to look at and if youre able to post better internal shots of the bot, please do.

You can make much better use of the internal structure by pssibly rotating the batteries 90 degrees and moving them back ss far as you can, leavimg little empty space within the bot if you need to, widen the chassis a bit. Even without these changes you still have an extra 40kgs to use, remebering that the lighter bot will often be the one being shoved around due to the weight of the opponent may be a good idea, I suggest using this weight on wheelguards and/or front armour as thays where the contact of the bots will mainly be.

Hope I could assist.

The splash is even puke green, lawl.

I kinda like it, but it's probably too big for it's own good.

1.I tried slightly upgrading the armor, it pushed it over

2. NO! Unless you win my challenge.
