Thank for being understanding JoeBlo i was going to to put in in General at first but then i moved it to mod and now its back again 

I have some fun playing around sjnce the first post, the original bot designer could have been made better
Grabbed the computer bots and started modding them a lot more fun

Like to say thankyou for everyones input i'm happy to hear more

To answer a lot of the questions of where i'm coming from
the basic game with the steep learning curve for bot building does not sell itself
 imagine this scenerio

Me rocking up at  the Lan party

Me: Hey Dude remember Robot wars on TV, I got this great new game RA2 thats lets you build your own Death Meca and fight it out
Dude: That show was great i loved Razor show it to me
I boot up the game and show the basic starter bots
Dude: Those bots.........Really suck
I begin to show them how to build their won 1 hour latter they loose their passion and go play Counter Strike

Lets try that again

I show two of the custom souped up bling Bling robots fighting and show him the basic control and starts fighting
Dude: Bro that was APOCALYPTIC    show me more
then i show him how to do some changes to his bot, paint spray, decals, changes a few weapons to his taste etc
 

Call it shallow but the basic game with the steep learning curve for bot building does not sell itself

i came across Ra2 while researching for the robot wars games and quickly realised how awersome
it was .Saying that the basic game has some somewhat lucking
The basic bots you start with, well they SUCK baaaaaddd. Then you start fighting the computer robots. Yes they are dumb but how awersome are they compared to your basic botsI know the game is about making your own bots but its like comparing WW 1 fighter planes to modern fighter jets. And for the beginner to design their own kickas bot is  HARD.

I’ve added the basic 1.2 batch
So basically what i am asking for is what  Mods, Add on and bots you recommend i add on now to make the game fun

A nice couple of packs of bots designs
I definitely want some good deadly bots to use , something also a new player can come in and start fighting with.
