Yeah, I know i'm kinda short on power on Final Frontier, but I don't know what to downgrade in order to get the weight for more ants.
Oh and here are the insides on anarchy

Yeah, I know it's not very tight  :laughing
I'll tighten up tommorow maybe.

And ofcourse it's named after the maiden song, all my bots are named after songs ;)

Make the front armour lighter?
And I hate Bruce's voice, he flies out of tune too often. I'll stick to Judas Priest.

Judas Priest has faster/better riffs and a bearable vocalist.
Judas Priest >>>>>>>>> Iron Maiden
I wouldn't mind it so much if it wasn't for Bruce.

Faster doesn't equal better.
Besides, I'd probably agree with you for maidens early stuff, but their newer stuff is brilliant!

Anyway, better stop this discussion before nar or joeblo come in and complain at us ;P

You could switch to straight wedges, or angled polys. That'll get you the spare kgs you need for another ant.

Straight wedges?

Straight panels, rather than angled ones.

Well I wanted angled wedges to cover the sides a bit better.

I downgraded the armour to plastic 3  so I could keep the aluminum front skirts and it has 16 ants now, which I believe is enough power for it.

16's kinda overdoing it, in my view. I thought it was one ant per spin motor, so technically this only needs 5. I'd give it 8 at the most, personally.

IIRC the big batteries are equivalent to about 8 ants.
8x4=32 add the 16 gives you the equivalent of 48 ants
minus 2 for the drive and that leaves 46 ants for the beta's which take up 21 and that means 4 more ants than strictly necessary.

So yeah, probably could get away with one or two less ants, but there's not much I could do with the extra weight saved really.

Beta? I thought we were talking about the one with the 6-Mag Disc with the hammers on it.

Possible CC 4 entry?

It deals A LOT of damage which i'm quite pleased about, could be a bit weak defence wise though...

Looks pretty good, Scorp. My only concern is the size of its wheels in relation to the body size and that armour. If a well-armoured flipper hits that, it's done.
