Armor is Plastic 3. But I have to ask, is there a problem with having two smartzones? One smartzone isn't enough to cover the bot.

Troll level; Professional.
bad posting detected
It's actually true though... This guy is either a troll or double-account.

Secondly an ego gets you nowhere, unless you're Nary, but he's more about ham. I second this. And steel sucks, efficiency wise, Titanium or plastic is better. And, chewblades suck. At least, to me they do. The wedge, oh god the wedge. Use skirt hinges with a skirt attached to the middle.

Did you even AI it?

Explains why I failed math.
Nope, just there is a big difference between : "AI vs AI" and "Player vs AI" in the battles in RA2.
So yeah, maybe I overreacted, but I was still kinda right for this bot 
Anyway, I wish you "a good luck with your progress in RA2"/"to become a good builder", have fun with RA2.
Why, thank you.

Also, I'm going to +rep S.H.I.E.L.D, for the manly act of uploading of his controversy bot "Black tarantula". His bot have a static wedge, titanium armour and it's not invertible and can't srimech usually. Now I can finaly test it and proof my theory. 1 vs 1, one match only, Combat Arena, hazards OFF, 3 mins matches, Starcore 3, AI vs AI (popup.py), 29 wins in total vs all the 69 SC3 HWs (this means, that it can beat only 42% of the HWs). The result can variate, but still is a fail IMO, considering how weak are most of the SC3 bots. So NO : "almost unstoppable, has beaten the whole roster of Starcore 3"; "it can trash more than 2/3 of the SC3 bots" or whatever.
A huge pic with the results : Explains why I failed math.

It just seems too... powerful. Usually sending bots like Grisly Bear and Velociraptor flying end over end with ease.
...and this is a bad thing because _______
To be honest... I don't know.

I don't. I'm was a decent DSL builder with potential and i could beat that thing SO easily with any garbage i made, just my opinion.
Mechadino is right. Lack of proper weapons, slow, mish mash of components, it's basically just a punching bag.
Even for MW's.
If you didn't get this already... the WHOLE POINT of the bot IS to be a punching bag.
Yes. Yes it is. But even so, is it really that memorable? I mean come on, if you're gonna test your bot, at least test it against something that fights back.

Great fun to rip to pieces, though.
Oh totally.

But, Nightmare had stability problems (No self righting, hard to turn) as well as being vulnerable to HS'
Hurricane 2 however, CAN self right, is quite fast and nimble for it's size, and has been able to take on Grog.
It can't go into corners though. Large skirts kinda hinder maneuverability.

Now that I'm done with SoH, time for my HW. Replaced the angle extenders with Flippermakers  Motor protection and reinforced the extenders for the skirts.  Also swapped out Tit.1 for Plastic 3. I'm not sure what it is, but for some reason it just seems really sketchy to me. It just seems too... powerful. Usually sending bots like Grisly Bear and Velociraptor flying end over end with ease.

by the looks of it, you should be able to drive it straight when its controlled. if its only doing that when its ai'd, odds are that you probably failed with the ai.
"turn" is how far your robot turns, while "turnSPEED" is how fast it turns. try lowering the turn to 60 50 or 40 (60 tends to work), and 2 or 2.5 should be a good turnspeed.
Turnspeed is 1. Turn is 60

Fixed the wiggling. Well, it's somewhat improved.
Actually, it just left right's it's way to the opponent now.
And it still wings it's own axle to the left.
I'm assuming that it's perhaps something to do with the wheels.
Will try Nary's advice again...

I've taken nary's advice and... Still isn't fixed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEYjXvqKfWY&feature=youtu.beAs you can see from the video, it has no problems charging straight into opponents. But as soon as it's in front of their faces, it does this little wiggle.

Rotate the wheels a bit. If it doesn't work, retry.
Thanks!
