first off, it's name was rhino
second off, it was made by the viva el torro team
third off, he was the first FBS.
What are you smoking. Yes Inertia labs built Rhino. But the one that fought in battlebots Longbeach 1999 and Vegas 1999. It had a pnumatic spike much like Rammstine. Yes it did have a heavy weight on the back and could act as a thwack. No FBS there. (IRL a FBS is a what is called a Sheck Spinner here) Yes there was a Halon Rhino (not official name but called it). It fough in RW 97 in the heavyweight division. Check your facts before you post. Info on it. http://web.archive.org/web/20051230170126/http://www.inertialabs.com/

Looks alot better.
You don't need rear armor. The AI bots don't attack the back. It is part of the programing. I'm not sure why.

Another idea adding to the insanly long list already is Extenders and armor plates can deform and dent like the chaisis can.

Big black one if it fits. If not more of what you have if you are keeping the burst motors. Otherwise you need one Ant per spin motor.

There are better ways to build flippers. The BioHazard replica uses that setup and it isnt the best flipper around in RA2. (Don't argue here and spam Ineptus's thread please)

First problem. Your bot is Unrealistic. Unrealistic means parts pass through each other. Your burst motor is going through your battery. That is not allowed.
You could do better with more battery power. For flipper drive.
The reason your flipper isnt working is you have two connected to each other. this doesnt work in RA2.
Try to use different wheels. There are better choices. Stronger grippier.
Lower your flamethrowers use them as armor.
I cant help much more without the weight and armor.
Those large panals look like cheat parts
Check out other peoples showcases for ideas and insparation. It will help with designing. There are simpler ways of building something like this.

if it is the blue one yes.
Edit: I see no dark tank in the most resently posted bot. So I guess it is name confusion.

which tank to use then ?
puma co2 tank Also you might want to use the edit button instead of double posting. It annoys some other people here.

Comment from building real bots. Try to stick to one or 2 weapon systems. The more weapons you have the more the bots weight gets divided between each weapon and then something has to give armor, drive, battery, weapon affectiveness. So basicly I think one great weapon is better than 2 mediocre ones. Just something to think about when building a bot.
But about the bot. Looks like it scores high damage points with the flame throwers. Try to work on building a bot that is invertable instead of having a flipper to self-right. You will save weight and be able to have better drive weapons ect.
The dark tank is a "forbidden component".
Keep building and have fun :)

Try using burst motors instead of pnuematic rams. The JX large is pretty strong. Also I think 5mm Steel is overkill I dont know though.

Tony had a deal with the devil. Thats why Hazard always won.

I see nothing wrong with running with different weapons for different bots. Heck I have a hook attachment for my bot for when it fights "Herald". The same tactics are employed by Team Plumb Crazy with Sewer Snake and Pipe Wench. Sewer Snake has three lifter configurations (wedge, spike normal one) and will run 4 wheeled or 6 wheeled depending on the lifter configuration. Being a builder I know it is not fun to have your bot destroyed. I do stuff to prevent being destroyed beyond repair as well.

Someone has way to much free time. That is the strangest bot I have ever seen.

Try to stay away from angle connecters. (they aren't very strong) instead use the flipper segments or side attachment points on extenders.
Try to stay away from cheat parts. (I know it is more fun) I got chewed for using them as well.
I think you could run that off of 3 ant batteries if you aren't using a burst motor. I know it doesn't sound right but it works.
Try mounting your motors inside the chasis to save weight.
You might want to use more weapons. (I don't know if those will last long enough)
Also if you can come up with the weight try I think they are called door hinges for your wedges.
Welcome back.

I don't like any slow wedgebot or pushbot that is poorly driven. Also I don't like Upheaval because I lost to him.

 I had no clue this was possible. Second Sentenal is stronger than I thought.
