you could...
take the receiver out of its casing and mount it vertically.
do the above step but take the pins out of the board and solder the pwm cables directly into it and mount it horizontally.
switch to a spektrum radio and a orange receiver.
extend the wedge and put lightening holes in the bot somewhere.

but your 1/2 horse motor puts out only 50w more than your standard 550 motor...

it's AC. DC doesn't have a switching frequency. 1/2 a horse for an almost 30lb motor at 115v is comically weak. a chinadrill at 18v produces nearly 1/2 a horse. a Inexpensive Chinese Brushless Motor or ICBM at 37v will produce just under 4 hp, weighs 2 1/2 lbs and it costs $70.

You want to make your wedge flush with the ground and straight. Right now I can see it is not straight. This will inhibit your ability to get under other bots and cause funky driving characteristics.
Also you want to use plastite or wood screws in UHMW. Not machine screws. Even if you tap the holes. UHMW doesn't hold a fine thread very well.

Thanks Enigma
Anyways for my next IRL design.
I decided to make a Bot Launcher.
(Image removed from quote.)
The bot is called Blue Mischeif.
How it works: The flipper is powered by a Judge Burst, that is attached to a Servo Piston, so the flipper goes up & forward at the same time.
Nice use of the taz parts. Just a couple things to think about to make your bots even better looking. Your parts don't quite fit right and that visually detracts from the bot a bit. Your skirt hinges, while a cool idea are a little too short compared to the chassis and consequently make the bot look a little off. Also work on your skinning. Flat colors with scratches and grime and small decals tend to look better than crazy textures from texture packs.

Not bad, not great either. You seem to like making bots that look like real bots. Come to the dark side and check out DSL. It's got more components so you can make more realistic looking bots.

Earlier tonight I threw together a quick, proof of concept "Pile Off Parts" model of the IRL combat robot I am building (12 or 30 pounds, it could go either way, not sure), showing off the wheels, saw blade, etc.
(Image removed from quote.)
The black/brown thingy under the blade is a cardboard and plastic strut I built to keep the blue tub lifted off of the blade to give a better sense of what it might look like when it is built. The odd looking sheets on the wheels are sander pads thrown on as a design feature. Of course the wheels will also be lower in the back, which will make the chassis higher, so I will have to find a way to keep the blade from scraping the floor (probably with some kind of cardboard or wood strut.)
Whatever you do please name it no strings attached...

There are a number of weight divisions, from a half-dozen ounces on up to 200 pounds-plus. The reigning champ in the heavyweight division is a bot called BioHazard. But I think I can take him. My two 24-volt batteries push my weight up to 120 pounds, so the weigh-in should be no problem. And I’m in great shape — 45 inches long including my lifter arm, 24 inches wide, 16 inches high
So he wants to face Biohazard, while being half the weight of his opponent and having an awful ground clearance around most of his sides? Oh and if he gets under Biohazard's skirt, he still can't lift him due to it being about as strong as me.
Yeah but he cost more than bio... and moar money = better robbot amirite? It also looks like one of these but with a lot of crap bolted to it... I'd also be willing to bet my 30 could beat it.

It all depends on the gun. Larger calipers tend to kick harder. Usually if you hold it right the kick isn't bad.
