You could create a "U" shape Out of extenders and connect the motors on the tips of the "U" shape.

I'm going to say that's un-realistic but I am probaly wrong. Then again how is Critical Emergancy's lifter setup realistic? You could add another ant battery or posibly increase the armor. I want to say drop the extender work to polycarb but then you will loose your weapons quicker. I don't know enough about popups to be able to give good advice.

Last resort if it still doesn't work
1.Take your "Teams" folder out of the bad copy.
2.Delete the bad copy.
3.Go to your clean RA2 folder copy and paste that.
4.Rename it.
5.Download a clean copy of DSL2 and DLS2.1
6.Place DSL2 and DSL2.1 in the newly copied and renamed copy of RA2
7.Place your "Teams" folder into the new copy
Hope this works

What, that a boxbot tournament is a real robot combat tournament?
To answer the question it is no. I had this arguement in his robotics team thread so don't start this again G.K. and Av. Sparkey please stop putting boxbot stuff in robot combat threads. It just isnt the same. Sparkey should call them Combox tournaments.

All I can say to help is this:
Carbon Fiber sheets are sold on eBay for reasonable prices.
The sheets are very very easy to cut with a dremel kit.
Make sure you use a dust mask and saftey gogles when cutting carbon fiber. The dust is very fine and very bad for you. Also UHMW Polycarbonate is a great construction material. I made my whole bot out of it and it is still in great shape after winning against two sawbots. Side note what every you hear do not use hacked servos for drive. They just aren't compettive anymore. Check out http://www.robotmarketplace.com/store.html (good for general everything parts) http://kitbots.com/ (have a beetleweight and hobby weight kit as well as drive motors) (I used the 18volt drill motors in Shish-Kabot with no major problems) http://banebots.com/ (drive motors) (never used them but I know alot of guys who do) http://www.fingertechrobotics.com/ (decent parts selection) Manufaturer Good Luck!

Look for a picture of a sun and an up arrow. Usally on the Function Key row. Find it hold down FN and press the key. If you still can't figure it out Try your parents.

K, I'm working on a VS but it always flips over, I'm gonna get help from someone sercretley though....
you wanna know who it is? jules 
This makes it sound like he is teaching you or has been helping you. Not that you sent him a bot to look at. Just dont start a war by posting something stupid about him again. Other members will jump on you if you do. (Edit): Beat G.K. to it!

You're arguing politics with ACAMS, logic and rationality have no place here.

Bump please don't flame the thread or me!
A full body spinner as defined by Kickn Bot By Grant Imahara is what you guys call a Sheck Spinner. A thwack is generaly a 2 wheeled robot with a mass on the end of an arm or arms. That spins inplace to cause damage. So a SnS or a FBS according to the GTM definition is a thwack.
Just thought I would clarify this with what is used "IRL".

Having fun tonight? Going to guess weight 424kgs?
Raise wedge on Axel thing to top
stronger weapon motors
attach plow to skirt hindge
use more weapons
place bottom armor on it if you want to waste weight or if it needs protection
lower chasis height
if you want to pull the low weight trick off better use an antibalast and the text from a lightweight.

So does this mean that we could see the real flipper tactic of ram with the back to slow down a spinner then turn around and fire the flipper?

Looks good!! Try to switch out more ants for the big orange batteries. If you save any weight increase the armor.
