Not bad for a first robot!
Tips:
-Wheels on axles are useless and essentially eat up weight. You can remove them.
-Your forks are unneeded. If you really want a wedge, set up a DDT and a small wedge. That's probably the best wedge setup out there, and it should get under EMERGENCY with ease if set up well enough.
-Ballasts aren't needed at all either. Take them out.
-I believe you only need one black battery to power four HP Z-teks, but I could be wrong.
-You can shorten your robot a lot and use smaller wheels, for example shiny hubs, which are considered the best wheels in the game because all wheels have the same grip.
-Your choice of weaponry (maces) are excellent, arguably the best weapon for a spinner in RA2. However, they don't need to be on extenders that long, or even extenders at all. Once you take out the front axles, move your weapons forward.
-DSA is a lot better than steel is, and lighter too. If you want the shine back, I believe you can add it using bot file editing, but I don't know how exactly to do it.
-Your chassis management is pretty decent. Remember when designing a robot to design the chassis around the components instead of simply building a chassis and tossing stuff in.
-It would probably do good for you to read this:
