It's not two faces, as the collision is a pyramid, but just more surface area.

36 isnt a power of 2.
2^5 = 32, 2^6 = 64.
so 32x32 or 64x64

Haha damn it!
It's clockwise for the first 4 points, not CCW.
It will always be chaseiss for me. Chasee just don't sound right.

Hehehe... :D
I like that setup a lot. Weight-effective.

I like this showcase not because the bots are amazing but because you actually listen to advice :)
Alright, so the main thing you should do is build to the weight limit (which is 800 kgs on a HW). Right now any decent bot you face will have 70 kgs more of weapons to beat you with.
As for the design itself, that middle spinner is kinda counter-productive, as well as completely vulnerable. I would recommend removing the center spinner and adding 2 more vertical spinners. That should really improve this bots performance. Also, you should test these bots out and then see what happens in battle before you showcase them, because you'll be able to fix things by yourself that way.
Also, the chassis is too tall. On the height slider while building your chassis, it only takes 6 pixels of movement for a vertical Snapper 2. It looks like you have 8 or so.
Have you looked at Clickbeetle's building tips? They help a ton.

Oh I know :P
I'm loving this showcase. Keep it up Gazea!

 ^That's what I came up with. Looking at it it looks right, but I'd have to build it to be sure.

The point of making a 36 HS is that you figure it out yourself to prove your skills. The rules are also fairly strict:
1. 36 weapons that weight 10 kgs each, ex. Iron Spikes and Maces. (You can, if you have the weight, add a frontal weapon for protection)
2. These 36 weapons will be on 4 tribars that are on 4 HP-Zteks.
3. The drive will be 2 HP-Zteks, usually with shiny hub wheels on them.
4. The power will be 2 Black Batteries.
5. This is optional, but you will get much more respect if you can make it invertible as well.
That said, I have built a lot of them and will you give you a few tips:
1. Pretty much the only way is to use two blue Snapper II's. There are two workable designs that use 2 servos and a few with one snapper II... but i already made those :P
2. You should learn snapper loading before you attempt this. (Look in my signature for a tutorial.)
3. There are many, many ways to do a setup for this type of bot (which is why they are fun to build) but it's becoming hard to come up with new ones as of late. I would suggest looking at other peoples versions and copying the design. After you make your first it's easier to design a new setup.
4. Come up with the setup in your head or on paper before even attempting it in game. This will usually help. The weight of the stuff is 762-766 kgs (depending on if you use 2 20cms or 4 20cms for your setup) or 774 (if you choose granny guard wheels instead of shiny hubs) so your chassis will have to be fairly small. The breakdown for the components is here:
360= Weapons
120= Weapon Motors
60= Drive Motors
60= Batteries
56= Tribars
48= Extenders for weapons
26= Snapper II's
24= Wheels (Shiny Hubs) OR 36= Granny Guard Wheels
4-8= Extenders for setup
4= Control Board

Ima make that HS outta one snapper... maybe xD
It's possible it's not probable, and probable it won't be as good.

RA2 is less of a game and more of a hobby for me. While I don't spend a ton of time actually playing RA2, I spend most of my time on RA2 related things (tournaments, tutorial videos, the forums, etc.). When I want pure entertainment I go downstairs and play some Rock Band or some shooter game.

Bargain bin somewhere. Only previous interest in robotics was the lego mindstorms. Thought the game looked cool, turned out I was right, here i am 3 (?) years later.

Yep, as long as the motor is angled 45 degrees or less upwards.
