use less batteries (aka 1 diehard and 2 duracells) and get more weapons to forge

Pretty much what 09 said. Nice build otherwise.

pretty cool looking man, can't think of much to improve :)

unless you want to add some dark armor on front and yank the armor down, so it's like more HP on the front and less in the back

i would mount the piston using the other AP, you can make the chassis shorter and more weapons

As long as AS doesn't care, then go ahead.

The bot itself doesn't look bad, but the skirts being angled upwards looks kinda weird makes me curious. Is there a reason for it? What's wrong with straight ones? That can make it so it's not useless when inverted.

for guiding bots w/ taller weaponry into the piston, though for the sake of invertability i'll probably change it

here's an aw

2slow lightning. Just AI'd it earlier today and was planning to send out the last few bots I signed up for today.

Your bot isn't even a rammer. It would probably make a good extra bot for the team that stinger is on if you made it into a BW.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Even though LS' bot looks more like it and is less generic, AS still claimed the spot first.
