Nice hints but they remind me of those 6-tribar-HP-Ztek-bots that plauge RA2.

I find it funny how everyone now complains about the 4-spinner 36-spike bots.

Generic, as they say.

And venko is probably the only person that actively criticizes them and can make them too.

There is a reason that they remind you of those spinners. It's because certian components in RA2 have distinct advantages over many others, and are used very often because of that.

No I mean the tribars that filled up BBEANS 3. I'll stick to my battle axe's and Spiked clubs. Thanks.

Ever seen an effective bot using spiked clubs or battle axes?

Nothing against you, but your ability to build bots will be greatly stunted until you learn what weapons are the most efficient for what types of bots. There are absolutely zero advantages over using a battle axe over a few iron spikes or razor tips.

S-32, They're advice is accurate.  If you're just building unique or various kinds of bots then that's fine; but for tourneys/competition you'll need to go with efficiency.
Input is appreciated. :)
-Arrogance is a quantity devoid of quality...
-As a client once told me "This is my story, and it's sticking to me!"
-Relationships these days are like the 'Arrival' section of the airport: a lot of baggage is being revealed in one place, and not a lot of it is being correlated to its real owners...

Keep stock in stock, not with DSL. Can we see an inside.
Tips: Do not use square extenders, they have the same Hit Points as round ones. Try to use the side connection points of extenders, because angled ones waste weight (even though you have 350 kilos left over) Don't use pole spikes on spinners. Iron spikes are better.
What is the armor? You are learning. Just look at the other showcases. They are not all just unoriginal junk. You should download DSL, since you like to use the parts so much.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

i would LOVE to see someone spam a lightweight with zteks. i think the record is 2 on a LW. i would also LOVE to see even ONE posted everyday, let alone the dozens you speak of (if you have a tribar lw everyday, there would be many more bots in that same day).

and as for "sarcasm," WHY THE HELL YOU TRYING TO BE SARCASTIC? pointless. and now the checklist:

1. what the heck is a headbang marathon.
2. whats a bouble tribar.
3. why do you think you are a computer program. in the E: drive. which is used for CDs and DVDs.

that is all.

3: Because I store all my stuff in the E: drive. Ii also fits in with the System32 name.
2: I misspell whem I'm fustrated.
1: Prefer Facepalm?

... Acivate?

Also, I'm sure I could fit three Zteks onto a lightweight. or 4.

Edit: It's not weapon spam, And in correction, I was talking about those bots cluttering up youtube, but I made it:
