Alrighty.
Most of your bots are messy for several reasons:
-Dual weapon systems. Stick to one, hybrids like tractor face are almost pointless since the bot won't reverse and start flipping (Unless you have two versions one with the flipper facing forward and one with the spinner facing forward), if you really want a hybrid, it'd be best to make them both be on the front of the bot, even then it's not easy to pull off
-skins, use the rule of keep it simple, High on Pressure is a good example, however the decal and flipper ruins it, Radioaction is exactly what you should aim to NOT do, don't try and just spam the standard decals, instead try and make them form a pattern. Like:
-Or, you can't make what you want, use custom out-of-botlab-made skins. Like:
-In the case of your flippers, (looking at hammer and song in particular) try and make you're flipper line up with the chassis, Like:
Also, the lexan/plexiglas whatever panel on Hammer and Song would be way to fragile to be a flipper.
-To go the extra length, make supports pneumatic thingamajigs under the flipper like:
-Back to Tractor Face. Exposed Weapon Motors aren't easy to pull off in IRL and with Tractor Face, It probably wouldn't be accepted, you'd need motor protection. No sane bot builder wold leave such a large, probably very expensive motor like that out in the open ready to be destroyed
