I would use a beta burst for this, and use titanium instead of failuminium. also, use techno's instead of mud tires, and move the bat's around and use 2 60kg black bat's and 4 ants.

I also say @sparkey
Why Shinies?
I... I think I've quit. Lurking and posting where I feel it's needed from time to time. I was never particularly good, but I tried. Never really succeeding, but trying all the same.
This is what I spend my time on now

What I can see:

- Hmm, the thing's a mess.
- The clubs won't do much as the spikes of them are the damaging point, so basically you just made some air-powered nudge. People around here only really go for frontal weapons too. It's not a bad practice, just saying.
- A single flipper BSG would probably only work in the lightweight class or lower - every other class is too heavy to be budged. You have too much weight on it too for it to be effective too. (Flippers really should be as light on the flipping arm as possible)
- Too many batteries there, far too many. I'd probably give it just 5 ants myself, going off the layout and making it efficient (probably dropping it down into the LW class) . That'll allow you to really reduce the chassis size.

I might make my own take on this.

Sparkey seems to have started giving DSL advice then switched to stock. XD

Try a beta burst for the flipping weapon, 2 if you want it to be a pure flipper.

Back weapons aren't necessary, really. Needs moar armour at the front if its gonna be a flipper (or most anything), and probably a wedge, or smaller, chassis. See Second Sentinel (NAR one is better though:P) for help.

For a poker, on the other hand, it'll need more weapons. Use the large puma tanks as they are more efficient (if i remember right). Razors/Sir K drills/Irons and some other weapons which I can't think of right now (a hand please?:P) would be better than Spiked Clubs and pointy tips. Eye stabber would be a good one to look at, even though its weapons have normals (Can't think of any better atm).

Vlads/Hypnos would probably be ok for this bot, or even technos if you want it to be really fast. Is that NPCF drive? If not, use it :P

Also, what is the chassis armour? I know its aluminium, but it would help if we knew precisely what it was. Also, build to the weight limit. I would like to see what you have done to Extreme Xterminator myself- that could be a darned good bot.

EDIT: Damnit, I took so long typing this in a thoughtful manner that people have beaten me to it :P

It's not correctly powered also.

And the front wedges aren't doing much.

13 year old talking about Hangovers ? :P

I dont see the need for that dive placement at least... its kinda going to kill your turning circle...

also do you know about attachment points ? you always place Mag's asymmetrically...
