This was My Most Recent "Pop Up" Robot that I built in Stock RA2, Tell me what I did Wrong/Right. More Horrible Robots still to Come!

For one thing, never use square extenders. Never ever ever. They weigh more than round ones for no additional benefits.
-
Wheels are too large. All the wheels in standard RA2 have the same grip and HP, so the lighter wheels are better.

Hey, welcome to the forums! Good to see that some things are in order, namely you're close to the weight limit, and you know what a popup is and to use razors, but of course there is room for improvement.
This is a good guide to start:

You might want to replace the wheels for rubber wheels and replace all the extender work for round extenders.

-wheels are indeed too large
-round extenders are indeed better
-you need to use the large black batteries for that. two should be enough, or one black battery plus a nifty. in stock avoid the pink batteries, and nifties are limited in their effective use AKA lightweights and some low power middleweights, and the occasional "i need a bit more power" moment.
-high power Ztek drive is needed, instead of normal ztek drive.
you got the no empty space rule well.
