Now I has two cookie (:
Anyhow internet memes aside.
I find lightweights easy to build due to their relative simplicity, it is when i try building middleweight or heavy weight bots i get confused and end up screwing up and making something that doesnt deserve to exist. Any tips? Like what should i focus on with a heavy weight, wedges weapons armor? how much weight should go to each part?
And can someone please explain popup to me, I just don't understand them.

I would definitely join, preferably later in the order so I can add, and not mess up a design

Lol, I will apply myself to fixing that issue then.
And it was said somewhere earlier that mini ray was something of a copy of one of your bots Robo shark, I do apologize I was not trying to copy any of your designs, but you are pretty much the king of HS so i suppose its impossible

Oh my, I didn't notice that, looks like they pretty much intersect those dsl, bars, I think i may be able to lower them somewhat though.
Is it allowed if it is a small overlap in which say I could theoretically cut slots in my DSL bars?

So Taking Tritons Tips and doing some more revisions, here is version 4 of "Mini Ray" The Vertical hammers and side bars help prevent The bot from becoming immobilized in case of inversion. The more heavily armoured DSL bar was a fair trade for 2 weapons instead of 3.  With 1mm Titanium Armour 2 30kg hammers 1 lightning spike 4 20*80 DSL bars Weight of 249 kg

ATM Im now running a dsl bar, with two 45kg hammers on the end, they dont come off near as easy, as a tribar, and i can use 1mm steel, with a weight of 248.6 kg

Alrighty thanks a bunch, any tips on the current bot? Ive noticed with some frustration that my tribar is getting knocked off way to often, is it considered "unethical" to put a shield of some sort over it, seeing as any shield would intersect with the spinner, and as ive come to understand bots should be as realistic as possible, so a shield over the joint for the spinner would probably be frowned upon right?

Well, to answer your question that robot was 248.4 kg, but with some careful fitting of the chassis, I redesigned it, named it Stingray (for obvious reasons i like to think)  This robot is 248.9 kg (A fairly good use of weight i think so) (titanium 1mm) Another version before this had 3 meat tenderizers (25kg ea) a large tribar (30 kg?) and a 30 to 20 , 20*40 , iron spike tail, its total weight was around 246, would the larger tribar and bigger tail be a good trade for less effective weight use? Or should I stay with this set up? Thanks for your tips, they are all very helpful. Also a question, whenever I go to lower the chassis, it seems like it stops unnaturally high, I have tried moving the slider all the way up, and clicking as low as I can on the height bar, that is how I got the current height, I cant help but think it could be lower, any way to make it so or am i pushing the boundaries of minimum height?

So, following all your tips, This is the version 2, Im happy to say it handles much better thanks to the tail, weapon spins faster, and it is quicker on astroflights, thank you for all your tips.

Thanks, yah after some browsing, I noticed many saying the same thing about the piglets, I may have to switch those up. The weapons on the end of the tri-bar are 30kg, It is not the most effective speed, but fairly useful at removing assorted vertical weapons and spikes so i can get at the weaker armour underneath, It is hard to immobilize in the combat arena, and has beaten a random assortment of lightweight bots whether through destructions, points or immobilizations. Thanks!
