Fix that chassis. Maybe something star-shaped and directly attach the discs to the chassis (via ME's of course).

The first version has a wider radius, and width is very important for sweep.

You can probably turn those multi extenders out by 30 or 40 degrees, so you have a larger radius.

Narrow the chassis maybe?
Better than GK since 2009.

Shrink the chassis, stick the E-teks out a bit maybe, and get a larger tank.

What?
You only need a min. supply for Flamethrowers, they run after it is out of CO2 as long as the control is held down.

These flamers aren't well placed anyways. Not going to deal much damage.

Also your heavy plow extender work is exposed, making the extenders prone to getting ripped off quickly and not using the plow's fracture to the best.

yes and no... yes if your player controlling, no if your AIing.

traditional AI methods wont be able to abuse this for some reason only hax can have the robots maintain a strong flame constantly under AI otherwise it will slowly die out like it is meant to.  ;)

Weak armor is fine as long as he's sure most bots can't touch it. That chassis seems to be at a safe distance from most weapon systems.

Coolest That Darn Dustpan-type bot ever.  Should've gotten more votes than it did.  Very clever way of doing counterweights; I wouldn't have thought of that.

It would've got more votes if you didn't enter :P

I taught the DSL "Master" something?

Any way thanks for the complements. I might stick this on the bot exchange.
