Also, there are extender anchors that weigh 4 kgs. Try using those to save a little space
You're actually better off using a 10cm Square Aluminium Extender. It has the same shape and attachment points, but it only weighs 0.8kg, and since anything attached to the baseplate is invincible, the hit points really don't matter. I've found them very useful for shaving weight off older builds.

I keep forgetting about that lol

No, switch the baseplate anchors out for 10cm extenders to save a little weight and space on the inside of your robot.

We need more LW bots.
Here's a LW flipper. 5 mm. Steel.

Here's what Denali Coven looks like in RA2. I'm actually designing this bot in real life.
EXCEPTION- the real life design has a lifter arm, not a flipper arm.

10 mm. Steel. I like to have the paintjobs I put on my bots really show in fights.

I also built a little counterpart- Carmen. The bot's insides are shown in the previous post. (again, I have to double post whenever I run out of kb.)

Fighting with Carmen...

sorry but steel 10 is usually not allowed in most tournaments (Because it's overkill) but I like how compact it is

...so I don't put DC in tournaments. That's fine. Rosalie III is a lot similar to DC, but has armor plates and 5 mm. Steel instead of 10 mm., so Rosalie III will take the place of DC in tournaments.

Too many of my bots have npc fasts. Take my rammer/lifter: Rosalie III for instance.

More fights...

Feelin' "pushy." ...and yes. I also had a WS fight in these fights.

I was fighting as Rosalie III. I was pinning Complete Control when...

one of my WS obliterates Top Dog.

All WS. BIG hits in this fight...

Motors and internals dont make bots not generic. what makes a bot generic IMO is the weapon and shape and how they can be combined.
nobody really cares about diffrences between motors or other internals. I use NPC fasts for pretty much all my HW because thats just the best for that weight class.

bots like Kate's Revenge aren't generic. I'm trying to make more bots like it.

TWM3R2's are pretty good. They're stronger than NPC fasts...

Yet they are slower and not suitable for 4wd bots

Slower=more torque. Denali Coven is all about torque.

Rather disappointed in this bot, but it's good at outrunning opponents. 1 mm. Steel.

So with your logic 4 Astros have more pushing power than 6 NPC fasts
Also that bot is decent, pokers aren't used much in IRL

Could it be because they can be boring?
