Try to build to the weight limit (248.9 for lightweights, 398.9 for middleweights, 800.0 for Heavyweights). If you have a 400kg Heavyweight, your opponents have 400 exta kg of wepaons, drive and whatever else.
Also, make the chassis fit around the components, not fit the components into the chassis that you've made. Bigger chassis weight more, and that weight can be used on weapons. The best bots have an airtight chassis, which is a chassis in which the components fit so tightly into the chassis that there isn't a pixel of empty space.
And, lastly, look at other's showcases. I'd reccomend Sage's showcase, Geice's showcase or NFX's showcase, as they're some of the best builders of the community.
I'll let the other, more experienced members tell you the rest. Have fun!
