You finally made Showcase. That's Good! :approve:

And the bot... Well, Build to the weight limit and Use only Ant Batteries.
And Of course, It needs weapons.

Really needs weapons. I would get rid of 4 wheels and use 4 ants instead of all those orange batts.

If you add weapons, you might accidentally win.
My bot was not designed to win.   :laughing

1 ant per spin motor is the rule, as far as I can work out from what people have been saying. But I always make it a point to slightly overpower my bots, just to make sure that they don't run out of power halfway through. So this would do fine with 4 ants, swap the two ant wheels for Hypnos, possibly, and trim the chassis down slightly. That should knock it back into an MW, I think.

Because they are a very small and easy power sauce to fit into LW's. They are the easiest power sauce to fit into LW'S.

Must i clean this showcase before it catches even more crap ?

Constructive criticism was asked so it will be given -

-The bot is overpowered. Use only ant batts for ALL spin motors (1 or 2 for each, 2 if you want them to last longer)
-Try to use two wheel drive NPCs or NPC Fasts if you want a fast MW, NOT 4 Astroflights. 4 Astroflights is terribly unefficient.
-More than 1 wheel per motor is weight wasted.
-If you want to keep with the "pacifist" theme you might want a flipper (somehow a non-violent way to win), because here it's not doing much.

Flippers work fine for me :)

All my bots, apart from the newest, have been flippers, flick through some showcases.
Have a look at Nary's and G.K's because that's where I looked!
I do those awful YouTube videos.

Thanks, but mine isn't the place to look. Check Nary's, R0B0's, Pwn's, Ounce's, Urjak's and MikeNCR's. For more adventurous stuff, there's 123's, JoeBlo's and Click's.

Lol I am not sure how to comment on a bot that's intended "not" to win.

Add ballast maybe?
