Ideally, it should have faster drive (Z-Teks), and not be so long and narrow. Razors are ideal for popups as well.

Yeah not much you can do there... best just to start over.  Make it wider to start with.

Felt like re-working the MW:

This on the other hand is getting somewhere.  The double wedges are redundantly redundant though.  Also, "realistic" is not an excuse to ignore standard bot building rules... that chassis could easily be shrunk and it would still be perfectly realistic.  With the extra weight from doing those things you could get a little bit of armor on the front, say a couple of ice picks or iron spikes.

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

Meep.

Whats funny, is that after I built this, I realized it was pretty much a re-tool of Crazy Gadget.
(Derp and Gadget have different chassis, just the same T-shape)
Though unlike Crazy Gadget, Derp Patrol's HP motors are more concealed, and better protected.
.....Except Derp's wedges don't have blade armor >__>

And I get the feeling I should have used Razors, but I wanted to use Irons for this build.

Felt like tweaking Derp Patrol slightly:

Snowplow offers better protection, but now the front of the robot is basically an ice cream scoop.
Oh, and with the leftover weight, I was able to put blades on the wedge-arms.

If you're gonna use the plow and irons, perhaps you should turn it into a wammer of sorts.

Well, Irons are more durable than razors for wamming. You could just have them angled upwards to stop opponents driving over the top, and not have the weapon motors fire.

Yea, I could just angle the Irons with the DDTs, as a possibility.
That, or I try and re-position the anchor a bit and "properly" position the snowplow.

I was lurking around the RA2 wiki last night, and...
Pretty much the next day I felt like "re-building" that old BBeans bot of mine:

Too bad blades do 0 damage :/

Just replace them with irons.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

@Mr.Awesum: I'm might just scrap this idea all together, as blades are terrible.

They spin outward, as the thick end is supposedly the end that doesnt damage.

I did a test with them for my Ninja Challenge with a rammer, and the thin side did more damage.

You could get another pair of wheels on that. And you should AI the motors to spin inwards instead.

If I did all the "fixes" that everyone suggested, RoC would pretty much become:

So again, I might just ultimately scrap Revenge of Cutman.
