some progress:
i have started ideas for the thing. One of them is to jump.
i think a rely powerful piston facing upward should do the trick and have smart zone ballast somewhere way below the robot to keep it balanced.
the guns will be based off of firebeetles laser cannons but will be more like guns. they will have servos for tilt and the robots turning will be pan.
i have also made an omnidirectional platform type thing for it.

is there anyway to make the chassis collision mesh big but keep the chassis small? that way the robots wont become tangled with each other and the shots wont have the hit the tiny box in the center of the robot. it will just have to hit the "personal bubble" of the robot.
edit: i made a crappy drawing to show you the thing with the chassis mesh.
