would you like you robots to be flipped and collapse with cardboard armour, or comparibly strong with wood armour? Or instead of building one roughly the size of an xbox controller, you could build an antweight? So you could go to events with it?
well, the size of an xbox controller could be better in the sense that he gets practise driving and building, before he challenges himself with the task of building an AW.

You can get servos for around £5/$7 if you're lucky, and if you have any Lego lying around the wheels are good for actual robots. cardboard armour is ATROCIOUS even for hobbyweight robots that wont be seeing any real battles. use wood or polycarbonate. The cost varies depending on what resourses are near, although from a hobby store they are around 50p per square inch for wood, and for lexan i think (correct me if i'm wrong) its about £1.20 per square inch. Speed controllers aren't needed, as you are running servos. A good reciever would be about £20 for 2.4GHz, and you will need some batteries, AA's/AAA's are reccomended for fun, but if you are serious get a pre-made battery pack from the robot market place. You will need two seperate packs, one for the receiver, and one for the motors. around £20 for them too, depending on what voltage you run.
All in all, i would set aside around £75 for it. Go to the robot market place for the radio equipment and batteries, your local hobby store for the armour and servos, your long lost stash of lego for the wheels, and get tools from your local DIY shop. you will probably need a drill, a screwdriver, some screws and a dab of glue.
Also, you will need some basic wiring knowledge!! :P
Hope this helped.

I dont really like assymetry in my robots (weird, i know.) so i don't really want to use that setup. sorry.
Any other ideas?

Remove one of the HPZ's no
shrink the chassis Its as small as it can go
and moar razors. no.
why should he rebuild it into an entirely different form of HS? Exactly. Because if he removes all that weight he'll have a moar wieght for moar razors no. it worked well the single HS way, but better this way.
Any other comments? Or do i have to ask for help building popups?

Ah, I know this problem. The only way to get rid of it is to change the graphics card (trust me; I tried extracting it in vain, completely un-installing it in the process, so it's not the game). What graphics card do you run?

If you want to attach the ploughs without that messy extender work, use a base plate anchor (for easyness), and rotate it so that it's at the same angle as a plough (do this on both sides). Then attach something like a 60cm extender, then attach the plough on the end of each extender. if the plough faces upwards, just de-attach the plough and the extender, and rotate the extender 90degrees.
The bug you've found is called 'stacking.' Its ok in stock but forbidden here.
Remove the plough, and add a few more batteries (depending on how many you have).
Alternatively, you could use 1 PC625 and 2 ants. Put the PC625 in the space at the back, and the two ants in the front extensions where the omni extenders are.
