That's a pretty sweet bot. real nice battery usage.

First tip: Don't use Steel extenders, they waste a huge amount of weight.

Take a look at USS Enterprise in 090901's showcase, it's quite a nice example of how you could improve this bot.
My above post explains everything about everything.

You could mount the extender sideways onto the axle and put both razors on one. Axle wedges used to be great but are much outdated now. Try using hinges.

You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

That looks a lot like Atilla Revolution in Thyrus' tournament.

Nice bots, could be improved, but they're good for a newbie.
