Any suggestions for what to do with the leftover weight?

If you haven't read my forum introduction yet, I suggest you do so before you view this showcase.  If you have then you would know I don't really like stock, but I've been getting better recently, and I wanted to start a showcase to see if that was true.  Don't be surprised if what I showcase is not original; like I said before, I haven't been very good at stock until the most recent weeks.  Here's a very destructive (but very vulnerable) popup, Go Up Here:



HP Z-Tek drive with shinies
1 Supervolt
6 razor tips on 2 DDTs
1 ramplate and DSA for armor

Strengths:
  • Fast
  • Powerful weapon
  • Wedge placement works well against other wedges
Weaknesses:
  • Steep front wedge and ramplate can decrease the effectiveness of the bot
  • Very exposed front
  • Exposed wheels
It can't beat many of Starcore 3.0's MW HSs (for obvious reasons), but I think it's still a fairly good popup.

@ Reier:  Thanks, I just realized it does look kind of like Zapper now.

@ Naryar:  OK, but I now have 45 kilos left over.  I can't think of what to improve.  :?

I have.  In fact, Planet Earth is what got me interested in snow leopards.

@ HurricaneAndrew:  Very funny:ermm:

To be more accurate, I'm interested in plants and animals, mainly snow leopards (if you can't tell by my username and avatar).

Also, I have a few questions:

@ Sage:  Thanks, but how can I fix the texture of the red snapper II without altering the texture for the original snapper 2?  I tried renaming the maps and editing the .txt files but I haven't had success.

@ no one in particular:  Do the steps to AIing stated here apply to DSL?  If not then where can I find a guide to AIing in DSL?

I should have done this a while ago, but I think it's necessary since I haven't really introduced myself to the community.

I am 15, and my interests include books, science, anything and everything natural, and combat robotics, including of course RA2.

I bought the game 8 months ago, and for a while I was a complete n00b.  My computer broke down only about a month after I had purchased the game.  It was about two months before I was playing RA2 again, and of course I was still a n00b.
 
When I had repaired my computer, I discovered this community as the current official RA2 community.  Here I searched for tips on how to build better robots.  I had found some really good tutorials (mainly the Beetle bros' website), but I was still having trouble building decent bots.
 
4 months ago I decided to download DSL, and found it easier to build decent bots and overall much better than stock, mainly because of the realistic rule.  I had then pretty much abandoned stock and despised it, but I have recently downloaded Starcore 3.0 and am building a little more in stock now that I understand and can better perform the glitches.

I now think I am a decent builder, although most of my building is heavily influenced by Sage and the Beetle bros and I've pretty much fallen in love with Sage's skin pack.

I didn't join earlier for 2 main reasons:

1. If I would have joined right when I discovered the forums, I most likely would have been the target of n00b whackers.

2. Because of the first reason, I wanted to do a lot of preparation before becoming a part of this community, just to be safe and to leave a good impression.

Although I have gotten those issues solved, I'm still not much of a social person, usually posting only to give advice or if directly addressed.  Despite that, I'm looking forward to being welcomed by you into your community.

Thank you,

you could make the chassis more narrow to make it less exposed and to reduce empty space.
