hey bud welcome to the forums :)
fun bot, good job making it invertible. this is of prime importance for a rammer. you chassis shape is cool and all, but if you want to be competitive against other members in tournaments and against the hard AI packs you can download, let's focus on making it more efficient.
i HIGHLY recommend reading this, it's basically mandatory for new players and teaches you some very useful concepts and techniques:
http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htmbasically, the prime objectives for this bot is getting more spikes on by lightening the bot in other areas. there's many things you can do to lighten the bot up to get you weight to add more weapons, mainly shrinking the chassis and using a more efficient extender setup to hold your weapons. if you get the chassis height juuust low enough to put the HP Zteks in, you can get by on using the shiny hub wheels, which are the lightest wheel and have the same grip as all the others.
try to make it a habit to post the armor and weight of all your robots too, it helps us out a lot.
i'll be glad to see whatever you come up with man, good luck :)
