Wait, worst bot builder? Now I'm pissed. Thanks a lot, I'm sure 99% of those votes came from people who hadn't checked my showcase in forever. I've posted this thing to death, but for gods sake I can take out FREAKIN TEMPEST But of course LRA2 is above me on that.

Despite being most controversal, least kind, and most annoying, I'm glad you guys think I've improved

Can I enter Grog, the Reconsurruction? I built him with no bot file editing.
No offence is meant by this but there is a spell checker right there. It comes in handy for me:P

Found this on some other site. http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-test.mv

Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
Level | Score

Level 4 | Low
Level 5 | High
Level 6 - The City of Dis | Very Low
Level 7 | Moderate
Level 8- the Malebolge | High
Level 9 - Cocytus | Low
Page 7 of Scrap Daddy's stock showcase.
Coincidence? I think not.
LOL that's weird.

STOCK
1. CHASSIS
-Invertibility- Make sure your chassis is not too tall in case it could tip over, or that in the event it was inverted that the wheels would still touch the ground. If it's not invertible even with slipperbottoms, rebuild the chassis or give it a self-righting mechanism.
-Self Righting- If you can't make your robot invertible because of things on the top of it, you should try to find a way to use your motors or bursts to flip it back up. If you can't you better hope your bot has amazing wedges and is sturdy enough to not flip over.
-Empty Space- Make sure to always minimize the amount of empty space in your bot. Do not build a big chassis and throw rand parts in it, design it around the parts.
-Big Target- We all appreciate a cool-looking chassis, but if it has a large front end that can easily be attacked, that means it has a greater chance of being KOed.
2. POWER
-Underpowered- Make sure your bot is not too underpowered. Pinks are discouraged in both MWs and HWs, and Nifties are discouraged in HWs.
-Overpowered- A general scale for battery power is this: 1 Supervolt's good for 4 HP-Zteks, a Nifty's good for 2 HP-Zteks, and a pink is good for one HP-Ztek.
3. DRIVE
-Picking the right motors- There are specific motors you want and don't want to use for each weight class. Anything other than HP-Zteks are generally discouraged for use in HWs.
-Amount of motors- If your bot seems like it needs a lot of motors, that usually means it could use less of a larger motor. Don't put two zteks on a Heavyweight when you can add two HP-zteks
4. WEAPONRY
-Good weapons for spinners- The weapons most commonly used (because they're the best) are maces, Razor blades and Iron spikes. Try to avoid sledge hammers and battle axes (the latter's excellent for armor, though).
-Good weapons for popups and rammers- Usually the best bet for a rammer is Iron spikes, and razors for popups.
5. IMPROVING
-Rebuilding- If you're given advice on how to make a bot better, work on that bot before posting others
-Following advice- Make sure you listened to an followed the advice you were given. Check Life Robot Arena 2 and Sypher878s showcases on what not to do.
6. CROPPING
-editing- When you upload a picture of a bot, don't post the bot lab. We all know what it looks like, edit it so it only shows the bot, weight, and optionally, the name
7. ARMOR
-Casters- Add casters only to locations where opponents will most likely hit you. Placing casters at the back will do you no good.
-Returning damage- Having a strong offense can serve as your defense. But if your weapon setup's specialized, adding armor like snowplows, ramplates, battle axes or EMERGENCY wedges can make your bot more durable.
-Amount- Too much armor can render your bot useless as it has no way of dealing damage. Don't overdo your defense, though you can always go overkill on the offense. :P

Also, thank you Joeblo for strait up calling me out in that thread. Unless of course you were referring to the earlier parts of my showcase.

Ok. I'd seen them used in backlash so I didn't know.
This may surprise you but Backlash parts have different stats :O
I guess you're right. I need some sleep.
