Most of your bots are way too tall and have poor ground clearence. Also, don't use ballasts in your bots. They are useless. Build to the weight limit of whatever division you're aiming for as well. An 800 kg HW will have more weapons etc. 90% of the time than a 500 kg one.

razors are better for popups.

One more thing: use round extenders instead of square ones. They both have the same strength, but the round ones are lighter.

king mager · « **Reply #5 on:** November 07, 2008, 07:00:09 PM »

i would but its confusing to tell which is the top of the round ones like if u want to put another extender on that one to have 2 spikes or sumthin its hard to do that.

ShadowArts · « **Reply #6 on:** November 07, 2008, 07:18:28 PM »

:D Showcase, yay! Didn't know Gir bot/Poptart killer could flip.

I don't think you need the extra red battery though. The competition with Reaper was funny. Phone call... :P

Somebody · « **Reply #7 on:** November 07, 2008, 07:28:34 PM »

Here is my plan:
Each round extender in stock is an octagon. First place it without spinning it on the attachment point, then see with another extender which side the attachment point is on. Delete the original one and click to attach a new one. The side with the attachment point will be in the same place (if you didn't turn the first one), then you carefully watch it until it is pointing in the correct direction you want it to.

Aren't they hexagons?

Somebody · « **Reply #9 on:** November 07, 2008, 07:31:24 PM »

One of the two shapes. I am not sure which.

add another black battery. and try to put some stronger drive, along with a smaller chassis.

Urjak · « **Reply #14 on:** November 08, 2008, 09:42:23 AM »

Those are better then berfore, they have less chassis space but as Sage said, you could shrink it a bit more.

man manu · « **Reply #15 on:** November 08, 2008, 09:50:04 AM »

circle chassis is not very good most of the time as most of the components in RA2 are rectangular and do not fit snugly around corners.

Both are weak.

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #18 on:** November 08, 2008, 10:11:20 AM »

Spyder = exact same as Shreddar, but only with less spikes and bigger chassis.

king mager · « **Reply #19 on:** November 08, 2008, 11:14:04 AM »

sorry somestranguy i didnt kno that i copied your bot,but i never seen it before. anyways ill change it. and i can put stronger drive in cuz the battery wont fit, but it goes pretty fast with red birds. and what are u talking about system? jupiter is a full body spinner, and hurrican has 3 razors on each...sooooooo......yeaaaah...
