YEAH BUT YOU JUST BUY RAZORS AND STICK THEM ON YOUR 'BOT LIKE A RETARDED 3 YEAR OLD PLAYING WITH LEGOS.
ALLCAPS= EXTREME WIN.
Stop it Enigma, this post is unnecessary

In some ways, IRLroboteering is just like RA2
In this way:
Minimise empty chasis space
Not in this way:
MOAR RAZORS :P

I use Cordless Drill motors. Trevor Wright said that my robot will scoot along the arena floor, like a pondskater on water.
Well I don't like them, this is much a matter of oppinion however May I suggest this for a very simple but effective design:  This is just an example of how simple your robot should be

List of components you need:
S/C
Transmitter and Reciever (preferably Spektrum)
2x Motors (From Robot Market Place)
2x 16V NiCads (You need a spare one just in case)
A lot of wire
2 Anderson's Connecters (Or Dean's - I use Dean's but you can use Anderson's, just means that you have less weight for the weapon, if you want one)
1.5m x 2m Sheet of 8mm HDPE (More than 5 for a pusher) - trust me, I ordered the 1cm one. BIG MISTAKE
Good cutting equipment
A lot of angling tools.
^Corrections^

Good point.
The problem will be making the chassis. It it was made of metal or steel, problem is i cant weld.
Also the designs name is call Scoopertron, was gonna rename it Shove It.
Maybe i should have stuck with antweights 1st
No, I'd go for a FW, go into the world of roboteering head first :D Make it out of HDPE: http://www.directplasticsonline.co.uk/HDPE_Sheet.htmlOnly use the black HDPE, they may appear the same but the white HDPE is a lot more brittle Don't call it scoopertron, we already have a bot called tron attending, it would be confusing XD DP: Also, if you have enough HDPE armour, not even an axe can get through it (Crushers maybe)
HDPE is underestimated, its awesome

Great to see potential new builders coming along.
PLEASE scrap the RC car idea, it will end up as a modified RC Car, not a FW
No rollcages, they don't work, just make it invertible
Use HDPE, its really easy to work with
Don't use the cheapest parts available to you, they are false economy, you will spend more in repairs than you will with a better part
I don't want to say that our robots are the best, but try and build something along the lines of annihilation, it was easy to build, has NEVER broken, and is quite an effective pusher. Try to make it look original however
Good Look :D

It's not the amount of extenders, its how you use them and how they look. I agree, it looks messy. Those razors are in an awkward position.
Its a TRUE popup
Right, and I'm saying the DDTs are too far back to make a CLEAN true popup setup, resulting in awkward razors.
The dtts are so far back due to the rule of seven

No, you can see where the razors intersect the ramplates on the pic, they are fine.

:O, you fixed it, a bulldozer bot (even if it was built by GK) never loses! :P
