I've heard a lot about people custom fitting their chassis to their parts. Is there an actually method to this, or is it just lots of trial and error?

I like it.  You might want to rotate the razors so that it hits with both sides.

What do you mean by that?

Oh, I think I see what you mean. I am only hitting with 2 razors at a time, aren't I?

The problem with shortening the chassis would be that the DDTs in the front wouldn't fit anymore. I could compensate by making the top surface  larger, but that would shorten the length of the wedge, which I don't think would be a particularly great idea.

You see, the way I have the bot set up I need the extra space for all 4 motors. I use it not only to prop bots on top and gut-rip them, but also to ram at high speeds and flip bots if need be (I actually HAVE to do this to defeat one of my friends VS bots. Come around, hit from the side. It's tough, though, because he can invert it with his weapons.)

I don't really have much to show right now(having only but toyed around with the game for the last couple of weeks), but he's my current favorite bot. It's a really simple popup with a bunch of empty space from before I understood how batteries worked.

EDIT: Bot weighs 495.8, with DSA. Also, I rotated the Razors so they all would impact. Result == much better bot. Unfortunately, it still doesn't stand up to the Starcore v1 pack at all.
