Thank you for these brilliant replies, I appreciate it a bunch.

I'm gonna try out the starcore pack with my current bots first, and then try and improve them with the help of your tips. I'll try to focus my weight more on weapons and less on external armor for starters.

you can also power them with a nifty battery if you choose to keep such a fast drive choice on hs, as most of them use rad drive

I don't quite understand what you're trying to tell me here. Are you saying use nifty battery and slower drive motors? What is "rad drive"?

slaur iii should use shinies over granniegrip wheels, GGs are absolutely useless since a good 90% of the time you can get invertability with shinies alone, and another 5% of the time you can get invertible with rubber wheels which are strangely 1 kg lighter than grannies but almost as large.

Got stuck too much using shinies because the HPz's tilts the front upwards a bit. Just a lazy temporary solution because I didn't have much time to play yesterday.

Just merged the 2 posts. No problem at all. - Pwn

Hey, I'm new here. Played this game when i was about 12, but I picked it up again today and I'm loving it.

I'm getting loads of tips from the wiki and the forums here and it's a brilliant help, but I thought I'd post my bots here in case I do something horribly wrong. It also gives me a place to look back at older bots if I keep playing for a while. If my bot is sh**, tell me.

Enough talk, here are my two first bots: Slaur III and Heskjestaur I, they both wreck all of the stock AI bots exept the flippers. I'd love some harder bots to play against but oh well. Need to get Heskjestaur closer to 400kg, maybe some more armor somewhere could do the trick. Both bots are very weak against flippers, none of them are self-righting or invertible.

Edit: Oh and I think they both have that armor glitch thingy as I didn't press the armors button to choose an armor. Can I check somehow?
