This is Orange Avenger 3 I hope its alright. It uses that double strength aluminium thing.

Build to the weight limit. You should reduce the weight to 400 by using shiny wheels, having only 2 blacks for batteries, using round extenders for the wedge and possibly shrinking the chassis. Not bad for a first stock bot!

Lol its no where near my first bot its my latest! if you want to see my first bot (first ever bot on RA2 ever) which I made like 2 years ago just ask its horrid though.

Better?

Badger · « **Reply #4 on:** July 08, 2016, 07:31:11 AM »

Yeah, that looks a lot better. Can you show the extender setup on the burst motors, it looks pretty wasteful, you could remove some more weight to get smoke more extenders. THe chassis could be a little smaller too I think.

Is that 1 or 2 black batteries? This design really needs 2.

I cant fit anymore.

You need to stack the batteries. Sage made a tutorial video on all of the glitches that are used in stock.

Its fine with what its got infact its dam effective and long lasting!

just one black is fine for mw popups unless you're running like 4 ddts for weapons

What he means by stacking is literally stack the batteries. There's a glitch essentially allowing you to put the batteries (and other components, if you so desire) inside of each other to create more room in your bot for other components. Ideally, you'd want to have a smaller chassis if you were stacking. Although what you have seems fine to me.

Omega in Orange! OA3's big bro. yeah its nothing good but I was bored and tried to make something HEAVY. its complete with shrimech stick

You need more focus on what's useful:
-6WD is pretty much overkill, but it can work if you optimise everything else.
-That's too many batteries, 3 supervolts should be fine. Maybe learn how to stack.
-That srimech is useless. It probably hardly works, and you can just use your wedge motors to self-right.
-You need more weapons to get the damage in quickly.
-With a chassis that steep you'll need some front armour. It's probably too steep anyway.
-Your chassis could be made smaller.

My advice is too look at other showcases and see what other people did with popups. Then see what you think you can do differently.

Hey, that's not too bad!

Suggestions:

I don't think you need 6 Z-tecs, 4 should be fine.
You only need 2/3 black batteries, try to stack them
Remove the blue snapper, you don't need a srimech. Make sure the height of your bot is 6 notches above minimum, this will keep your bot invertible while giving just enough room for the green snappers
Try and get the wedges as far apart as possible
Improve your extender work regarding the weapon setup

What you did right:

Not a huge amount of empty space. If you follow my suggestions you'll have to shrink the chassis more though
Wedges look alright
Basic setup is there

Overall it's pretty's decent.

Scratchy the Snake!!!

Badger · « **Reply #14 on:** July 17, 2016, 08:52:03 AM »

It's very underweight.You can add 2 or 3 irons per tribar arm instead of 1. You can probably save some space as well by putting the weapon motors on snappers and then shrinking the chassis. Also, stack 2 blacks for this and get rid of the pinks. Then it'll be a decent bot!

I set up a poll!

Orange avenger isnt a terrible bot, but it needs more razors to cause damage faster and needs some sort of frontal protection or it will get ripped apart by other people's weapons when it tries to go under them.

Badger · « **Reply #17 on:** July 18, 2016, 04:35:12 AM »

To be competitive it would need to fit a weight limit, either 390-400 for a MW or 780-800 for a HW

botomatic1000 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 18, 2016, 06:41:34 AM »

Its an MW it weighs 393.5

Badger · « **Reply #19 on:** July 18, 2016, 07:05:05 AM »

My bad, was looking at the first pic

Yeah, looks pretty decent for a MW.
