I'll start with the good things:
1) You've built to the weight limit
2) Good wheel choice
3) Not loads of empty space
4) Good weapon choice

Now the bad things:
5) Slow drive, redbirds on a HW? Atleast use z-teks (HP ones preferably)
6) Use the blue snappers to overlap the weapon motors

Get BBEANS AI, there is a wide variety from good to bad bots for you to compete against
Copy absolute chaos into your robot designs, look at the blue snapper & weapon setups used, this is a good example of a very good HS

Like Vert said, J24, get BBEANS AI to start, then get Starcore and PYS. Or just get them all at the same time like me!  :gawe:

I know, I like BBEANS better, but it has all SFTWs. In PYS, all of the bots are average, and some are awesome (except Gauntlet.)

You can use less snappers and less motors (but more weapons on each motor) to gain weight.

In PYS, all of the bots are average,

Average is what you build. Pysc isn't average, neither the old vets.

With the bot in the OP, you could eFFe glitch 1 of those Snapper 2s to hold at least 3 of the HP weapon motors.
you would save A LOT of weight that way.

Have you got the a components in your game? Like the emergency wedge? The blue snapper is an ai component too (although I'm not too sure which stock ai bot uses it)

They can be downloaded from joe's website

It was semi-unfinished. Note the second AP.

RA2 was exactly like RA1. They rushed the game and ended up with a few "non-existent" files.
And by ""non-existent", I mean the AI parts and the other hidden parts.

Would probably be best to downgrade the HPZs to redbirds, so that you can get a wedge, & it wouldprobably need a supervolt
You are using DSA aren't you?
