That's good. OK then, first things first. In order to do so, you'll need to reinstall your RA2 to how it was when you started out.

Don't mix stock with DSL!!
Stock bots, even the well built ones in the starcore packs (I presume that's an old starcore pack though) are gonna get ripped to shreds because they have a lot less strength.
In DSL, the parts and the armour is alot stronger, so, just don't do it as it's pointless really.

Now, ignoring that, on to the actual bot.
Rember, ONE ANT CAN FULLY POWER ONE SPIN MOTOR.
You only realy need 3 ants in there, not the 10+ you've actually got there.
You could get away with mag drive for that bot, but put better wheels on it.
Hypnos are the best wheels of that size (rather small).
Vlad spikes may seem good, but they have normals (meaning that they only deal damage with certain sides) this means you're better off not using them.
The top self righter doesn't need to be so heavy, a poly sheet would be sufficient for that.
Try and put some protection on the bottom of the bot, if you click on the middle Atatchment point of a titanium half sheet you can stick it on the bottom of your bot it will protect it nicely (as it becomes invincible).

Also, please could you post the weight of the bot aswell.

Edit: Jesus, 11 replies while I was typing ma wall of text

You'll have got my complaint about DSL and stock mixed by now, and some of my points have already been said by NFX now, but still, I can't be bothered to change that post :P

In this mixed stock/DSL version of the game, yes, unfortunately. However, it's a sacrifice you'll need to make.

alright. So i do have a stock version of the game and this crazy mixed up version. so could i keep my other stock version still?

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #45 on:** December 27, 2010, 02:14:56 PM »

Theoratically, yes. Make two copies of the directory, though. You'll need that for the Starcore and DSL.

and how exactly would i come around to doing that? my dad downloaded all this stuff for me lol so i gots no idea.

Good thing you've got me to show you, then :D

But anyway, enough gloating from me. Once you've deleted the messed up version, here's how to copy the directory-

1) Click on "My Computer"
2) Then click on the button for the C Drive.
3) Program Files
4) Infogrames
5) Once in the Infogrames file, select "Robot Arena 2", but don't go into it.
6) Copy
7) Paste
8) Once the copied file appears, rename it "Robot Arena 2 Starcore". This will be your Starcore directory.
9) Copy the file again, but rename this version "Robot Arena 2 DSL". This will be your DSL directory.

Once you've done this, reply, tell me if you did it correctly, and then I'll continue.

So I clicked on ra2 copy and pasted it and now it says ra2 copy. Am I good so far?

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #50 on:** December 27, 2010, 02:29:16 PM »

Yep, you're good so far. You did delete the messed up version first though, right?

IF YOU HAVEN'T, DON'T YET

I think so. Completely reinstall the game before you continue. Once you've done that, continue from Point 1.

G.K. · « **Reply #55 on:** December 27, 2010, 02:34:30 PM »

No. Copy your 'Teams' folder and place it somewhere secure before you delete. Then feel free.

Spinner Bot · « **Reply #56 on:** December 27, 2010, 02:36:11 PM »

Ugh I am so confused. Sorry but how would I do that? I'm garbage at stuff like this

G.K. · « **Reply #57 on:** December 27, 2010, 02:37:32 PM »

Before you delete your messed up game, copy the folder named 'Teams' and paste it somewhere secure. Then follow GF93's instructions.

As well as robot designs if you have some in.

What would be the most "secure" place
