I think DSL would suit you better LRA2.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Once he has less open space and builds to the weight limit, learning to build in DSL and Stock becomes very different.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Jebus christ.

Guys, Stop it. If he's not good at building let him improve in his own time. Pestering people only alienates them. I'm a pretty good example of that, and so is venko.

He'll get there, or pretty close eventually.

LRA2, try a LW first...

EDIT: Whoops.

Hmm, better than most of my flippers... Go for Rad's then try to replace the pinks with a black.

Also, try some rubbers.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

Ok. Empty space wise, its actually a lot better, but I'm wondering if you built the chassis first and just got lucky fitting the components. What you should do is build a chassis for your robot that you think is big or small enough, put the components in it, then look at it and notice any empty space you've got. Then think; 'Well how could I get rid of this?' Move and replace the components so they're nicley compact, most emty space should be on the outside. Then redo the chassis so that its big enough to fit your components, but doesn't have the empty space. Hope this makes sence.

Also: don't use redbirds. They're too big. Use angle motors; they're just as powerful and take up much less space accordingly. If you use them, you should be able to fit in a black batt, or at least a nifty. You should be able to fit two DDT burst motors in there. Two is always better than one. Shiney hubs are also better than slippers. Finally, did you use DSA?

And did you actually replicate/clone a bot built by CB, or just name your bot after him?
Good evening.

Ztek drive and shinies please, as well as a black battery.

beginners showcases naturally spawn a load of help but remember they are trying to help you improve just the same as a coach helps the football team :-D

trying sitting down planning something and taking a dedicated half an hour or so making it, then test it out, improve it, then post it up, remember incomplete bots can be saved still

replicas of real life bots are a better idea then other peoples RA2 bots, not to say you cant make similar bots and say that it was inspired by....

This is alot better for the chassis space. use Shiny hub wheels though to get the most out of the weight so you can add more weaponry. Also, build to the weight limit. Try to keep your weight 239-249, 389-399, or 784-799 everytime. Try it on your next bot.

WOW.

I leave for 3 days and I come back to 79 posts of bots of someone who really needs to read and take into account what other people say.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time
