Do you know what a Popup is? You could turn this robot into if you improved the setup.

take a look at my showcase life robot arena2 I made a middleweight pop up called natural high with pretty much the same chassis shape

last bot on this page https://gametechmods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1471&page=3

VERY underpowered, both steering drives and flipper segments suck. Get one more DDT and use 2 supervolts, then use 2 HP-Zteks for drive. And finally use the small wedge for the DDTs. :D

[Edit] Haha! Beat you guys to it. :P

well my mums freind didnt make wedgeflip so i can edit it

Hmmm... you can actually add more weapons to the burst motors if you use the side attachment points of the extenders. :D

I'm surprised nobody told him to use DSA. (it's on the beetlebros techniques site if you want to know what it is)

Also axes don't work well on popups, use double razors or maybe irons.

DSA *slaps face*

just in case you missed it buddy its basically the strength of steel at the low weight of aluminum to get it just don't click the armor button and it will automatically be on your bot

Hmm... Looking at your showcase LRA2, May I also suggest that if you also give my RA2GE AI pack a go for a more challenging set of opponents (You can do waayyy better than stock and the other packs will just be overkill ATM)?, this can increase your botting skill to a surprising level and can even get you ready for more harder packs like starcore and DSL. Of course while still taking advice from the other members.
more info on how to download this pack can be found on this page.
Oh, and welcome to the forums!

Why are you telling this kid to use DSA, extra extender points.. first of all he should make a bot of his own nd not his 'mum's bahhaa

good first popup
try going to the beetlebros page to learn how to make it better.
also show inside shots of the robots

Well razors are better than axe heads for popups, but you can get alot more on one arm by using the side attachment points of round extenders.

Use them by clicking on the green things that are on the component when its in the preview window before its attached.

cephalopod · « **Reply #33 on:** May 28, 2009, 04:00:06 PM »

To put what they're saying in context, here's your bog-standard round extender

But look how one box is greener (circled in orange below). That's the connection point that you'd connect to the bot with (you can change this by clicking on of the other one)
But this leaves all 3 of those open connection points which you can add stuff to - see the yellow circled points below. What they mean is putting a razor on BOTH of those points, creating more damage!

Well, he should keep that bot if he wants a MW. A newer bot yes, but instead of attaching the razors to one extender, attach multiple extenders on the side of the original extender to make them side by side. Attaching it that way will be better as it does damage all at once.

Here's a popup I built a few months ago that shows what Craaig is talking about.

Looks alright, but, I think the tribar is upside down and I hear sledgehammers suck in stock RA2.
