Beautiful. Do you have a name for it yet?

Also, be sure to listen to the guys with their name in coloured text, like NFX above, and not me  .
Then by all means if he shouldn't listen to you, he shouldn't listen to the colored-name users, since you told him not to listen to you.
Anyways, you can save 2 kg by removing a black extender and attaching your HPZ directly to your baseplate anchor.
Curse my bad logic. *slips out of thread due to new rules*

For a first bot, that's actually pretty good. You've got a good choice of motors and weapon components there, and it looks to me as though you might have DSA (Double Strength Aluminium) on it as well, and eFFe glitched the weapons on. Very nice that you know these glitches already. However, there are a couple you can do to improve it.
Pink Batteries are almost universally never used outside of the Antweight and Beetleweight classes. For this, you ideally want a Nifty Battery. It gives you 50% more power than three pinks, but is only two-thirds of the weight. You'd need a slightly taller chassis for that (three "clicks" of the chassis height slider), but it would provide much better longevity for the weight.
Shiny Hubs are almost always the best wheel choice you can have, due to their supreme lightness compared to other wheels. This would give you an extra 12kg to play with, for things like extra weaponry or defenses, which I would say this bot needs. Maybe something like a plow on the front to protect that exposed HPZ motor.
Another way to protect the HPZ - by mounting it inside the chassis - would be to try something called Snapper Loading. It's one of the trickier glitches to get right, but it saves a huge amount of weight from a larger chassis and heavy extender setups. You need something called the SnapperII Burst Motor (It's in the SZ+ AI Components download if you don't have it), and Sage has a video on it in the Tutorials board (RA2: Tips and Tricks). ty4er suggested an Axle Mount, but that causes something called the Axle Glith of Death, or AGOD, where the position and collision mesh of the components is messed up, plus the robot tends to be quite unstable. There's no way around it, unfortunately, so I'd try to avoid that as much as possible.
tl;dr - You've got some good potential. Take on people's advice, lurk around to see what works, learn some more of the glitches, and you'll be building great bots in no time. =)
You just read my mind =P Welcome, and enjoy your stay. I just wish I lurked a bit before I started..... Also, be sure to listen to the guys with their name in coloured text, like NFX above, and not me . They know what they're doing and will most likely be right even if you don't agree with them at times =D

Okai. Ignore the above then.
But NFX ranted once? Wew.

Alright, Scourge and Gents, how the hell does someone with crap DSL/Stock skills get his rep back to 0? Because -1 is irritating me now.

Bot looks great. Also, why mags and not bsg's? Sorry if I've missed the point.
Judge Burst Motors. (Hugely overpowered to make realistic flippers)
Judge burst motors? I haven't seen those on DSL before.

Are the Alphasim bots any good? (Compared to our designs)

I have to disagree with NFX, a little bit.
My touchpad works really well and is quite robust. It's a little flawed, though. Having a phone that does everything is great; I can go on GTM right before I go to bed (like right now) and on the school bus :D
The battery isn't bad on the HTC Wildfire - my phone. You can gwt an app on the android market that turns off unwanted apps and save battery, as well.
People can call my phone a fashion item, no. I use it for what it is and thats a phone that can email and use the mobile internet.
Plus, I'd rather rely on it, because is rather have it then not bother at all; I treat my phone with respect, anyway. (I check my pocket for my phone like once every minute :P
