Dem starting newb pokers...

anyways it's pretty decent for a starting bot. you got some stock basics.

-Pole spikes are generally poor, use razors or irons
-use only a single poker and add more weapons to it.
-large airtanks are far superior to small airtanks in general, sure they're less handy and so bulky but they have far more air and it will make you save weight.
-pretty sure you could attach that snowplow with a lighter extender work, try to lower it.

and now for the obligatory link

Check that, it's very good reading for improving your stock builds.

It certainly isn't the worst first bot I've seen. I think you've got a decent weapon system down, just take Naryar's advice and switch to irons or razors. I'd shrink the chassis down and get rid of the snapper, as it's kinda useless in its current application. You can also probably use shiny hub wheels to save some more weight. With all this extra weight I'd get more weapons.

I find maces to work better than irons and razors, simply because they protect the weapon extenders better that irons and razors. Razors wouldn't even be that good on  a poker since they have half as much HP as all other weapons in the game.
