Yes it can, you just have to change things such as your weapon size or your VS stance. Do not let yourself stopped by the direct implications of what you did. You don't like these ? Then work to change them.

a robot is a whole, if you change something in it you will lose something else and win something else at the same time. Then when you try to fix something you lost, you realize you lost something else. Such is ra2, every choice and every use of weight is a loss.

You just have to maximize gain and minimize loss.

Besides, using a smaller discs gains weight but loses in disc HP. But if you add more weapons your disc is more protected. See what i mean ? Win, loss somewhere else.

Even so, the wheels would be too forward, holding opponents back from the discs.

Not if you also angle them outwards, like Nightmare in later seasons, so stuff can get down the middle and your horizontal stability is increased so it won't tip as easily when you turn.

Finalized my BB7 team. Son of Hurricane might have some changes to it, but let's just see after it goes through Rob Collin's Poker Night. Hurricane 2 might also get a little update, but depends on it's performance in Helloface's tournament.

LW:
Armor: 1 Tit.


MW:
Armor: 1 Tit.


HW:
Armor: 1 Steel


SHW:
Armor: 1 Steel


This seems the most sketchy of the four bots in my opinion. The enormous discs really don't seem IRL. But in the case it is deemed not IRL enough, at least I have this:

Alt. SHW:
Armor: 10 Steel

Yeah I like Radioactive more aswell. Try them against NAR AI, and whichever wins more fights easier, use it.

The answer is obvious, a pusher is never going to win against anything in Nar AI.

no

also i'd hardly call any of those bots irl. for the lw you can put more aesthetics on it (components or whatever) and make the flipper shorter, it looks kinda ugly when its that far out. you can also make the chassis bigger to hide those axles and change the tail a bit. for the mw you can add some axle supports, have the weapon further back, make the drive wider and further forwards and add some more stuff to stop it tipping. i'd also get a perm 80 instead of a dual etek for more drive and axle supports, etc. for the hw, try just making it look prettier and perhaps add some supports to the skirt at the front (extenders going from the extender by the wheels?). with the first superheavyweight you can do the same as the heavyweight, some axle supports would help too. the other superheavyweight just looks ugly to me. those weapons just look like they were put there randomly, without any thought into aesthetics.

is this bot don't lost all razors in a fight before do a damage thought

Updated Radioactive, renamed it to Guardian and gave it a skin.



Insides:


And also, reinforced the extenders on Hurricane 2



And also, are the motor supports enough?

(Image removed from quote.)

lose the front dsl bars and replace with dual plows. it will look cleaner and give spinners less to catch on.

this might give you an idea of what i mean.

Fine enough for me.

Of course you're gonna need to get your own opinion because everyone is divided on what to call IRL.

Well, it's IRL then. Despite the fact that the extender work looks like spaghetti.

Well then fix it !

I'm definitely going to make a tutorial on how to properly do extender work.
