Looks good. Someone will pick up something I missed. The tornado spike does look better.

Increase armor
Typhoon spike on the disk in the center to keep the weapons of the ground when inverted like Vengance has.

 I know defer to better builders than me.

^^^Unrealistic: tribars go through Perms
Try to shrink the chasis to a cube shape or a small rectangle shape.
Try to come up with the weight to use drive E-teks instead of NPC's.
With current set up and remaining weight you could use 50 KG's hammers instead of 45KG's hammers.
Is it Invertable?

Fix Pnumatic cylanders so they can be used to self right a botwould be a nice thing.

1. Allow animated gifs for bot skins.

2. Install a better online server for lag-less online play.

1. What? Bots don't have animated skins IRL...


2: That would be nice.

Some bots have light patterns or flashing lights. (rationalization to do this)

Go to My Computer--> Program files (86X){if you have a 64 bit computer if not just program files}--> Atari Infogames--> Robot Arena 2--> Scroll down till you find RA2.exe then right click it --> Click in the dropdown menu creat shortcut --> click and drag shortcut to desktop.

This should work

don't use angle conectors, and I don't know if piglets have enough power for dis guy

Sparkey is right.

Bot: The bot seems big. Try to shrink it. You will get more weight and you can then use heavier weapons.
Armor: I am not sure what you are using but try to stay away from steel. It is overkill. (I think not sure though)
Drive: Lighter wheels and try the NPC motors for your drive. The bot will go faster and have more pushing power.
Weapon: try using the DSL bar and sticking weapons on it. Also I am not sure how affective 1 razor on a piston is.
Try to make one good weapon system instead of two mediocer weapon systems.(Something most real bot builders do)
Weapon motor:try using a magmotor weapon version. (not sure of exact name) instead of piglets.

If my advice is wrong please correct me.

I'm a PC.  I don't like Macs.  I would like macs more if they had a task bar like interface in the dock for switching windows. I also don't like that file edit ect. Are on the top of the screen in a bar not in the window.  I used to love XP. I got a new computer in January with windows 7 I am never going back. I do agree with Joe on graphic design programs tend to be better on Macs.

Good idea but that would be un-realistic to use brushless motors for drive on a real robot. High RPM lower torque much like the Piglets in DSL. I know I have brought this up before but Drill Motors. They are used on 12lbs-60lbs robots commonly so they could be used for a lightweight.
