Oh well.
Prove me so, wise-guy.

If you read the forums, you'll notice that both questions "how do i save my robots" and "how to export them" have been asked more than five, perhaps ten, times on the forums.

Well... he just doesn't know the meaning of the word "diplomacy".
But he isn't wrong; actually fighting a beetleweight with something three times heavier is nothing impressive.
You should try at least middleweights, and then heavyweights when you'll really build well.
I won't be here for more than a month, so you could actually look at other people's showcases. And the BeetleBros tutorial, really very useful (yea i'm repeating but it's really important).
EDIT: Inf, you may have more experience than me but shut up. All I see there is an angry kid venting frustration somewhere.

Three things:
-Read the forums
-Use the Help buttons on your game
-Read the tutorials (at least the useful ones for you)

Well... fight at least Starcore middleweights because TF is two times lighter as your bot. A beetleweight (175kg) has no chance against this, too. -You can fit it shiny hubs (less weight) -Use HP Z-Teks, no normal Zteks (HP Z-teks are twice as more powerful as normal Z-Teks for only 20% weight more) and stick to the Supervolt. -Build to the 800kg limit (all the Starcore heavyweights are near 800kg) -More, more, more frontal weapons (defense and offense at the same time) -I dont think that chassis shape is really efficient. -Get used to round extenders especially the side attachment points. With sufficient experience on the topic you can win more than 20kg. -These external pistons look EXTREMELY vulnerable to a hammer. The gold rule in RA2 bot building is "save weight". That often applies to real bot building too (but in that case there's also money). Have a look at http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com. I learned much there, as a good part of us.

Use the GTM file uploader (homepage) and upload it (use a .RAR file as needed). Then copy/paste the link given into a PM that you will send to Click.
(i missed two times, but its still that)
I think you have a little less than 2 weeks remaining.
Oh, and an advice: the best armors are 1,5 and 10mm Titanium and 3mm Plastic.
And DSA isn't a worthy choice in DSL. It is in fact the crappier armor possible.
Ah, and of course have a look to the DSL AI bots. This way you'll learn a lot.

No problem.
Beware the bigger chassis... don't overdo it, that is try to have no empty space, as empty space is weight lost.
Ah, I forget a thing: put some more weapons on your pistons. Something like the DSL piston bots (Poison Stinger & Eye Stabber). This will seriously increase damage.

I just did - i can't wait to see all your work.
EDIT: Looking good.

This reminds me of RoAcH in S3. Potentially a killer design and cool looking.
But if you want to make it better:
-Don't use redbirds for this (they suck especially for a heavyweight drive). Use HP Z-teks in this case or even 4WD HP Z-tek if you want to make some ramming.
-Do some round extender work rather than all these grey connectors, way lighter, there's perhaps 30kg wasted on grey connectors.
-Put more weapons on the front of you bot. Again with extender work. You have weight to work with.
-This chassis could be lighter.
-The battery setup is sufficient. But use a big air tank (warning, this thing is huge) or 2-3 air tanks, because here you haven't got a lot of CO2 to power your weapons.
As Inf said, get Starcore. I would recommend the v1.0. (ask Sage for the shock, he went directly from stock to S3) Look at the bots in there, it is decent building and learn from it.

I was just thinking that too...

Indeed.
Third Venkothread to be ruined. LOL.

More seriously, Flashcrazed, I would recommend drawing a map of the arena, with in-draw comments and followed by a text.
Because you graphic don't help, actually.

Well I bet you haven't seen me driving Headache 3 (BotM).
Put your wheels as close as you can. That'll decrease turning speed (so make basically the opposite of 360 Arc Pounder, whose wheels are afar from each other for faster turning. (sorry for the grammar, i know i failed there)

Well a Large JX could withstand the weight of a normal TWM3R-powered face spinner, no?
About speed... IDK the grip of the Cobra wheels... but ill say he is perhaps as fast as an average DSL HW?
And what batteries did you put on it?

Yea, Flashcrazed.
Just take an inner pic of your rammer in the bot lab and we will give you some advice.
(Sage... you're giving sarcasm lessons to PYS himself?)

HAHA good job Man Manu.

Post an inner pic of the second one like you did on the first.
EDIT: ZOMG i sense the Venko Effect.
