could save chassis weight by making it not a T. Instead, make it more like

because weight it calculated by surface area.

This bot isn't really all that good ,but it's the first bot I've built on this laptop so I'm posting it anyway.

Yea, I tryed a couple of differnt names, but BOT CHOY on crack seemed to work best. I actually started building it by doing some major editing of BOT CHOY's chassis.

I liked the other name. It fitted with the theme.

Yea I was thinking about making it military themed. I can't do anything with it now though. It's on my home computer. I don't know what kind of bot I want to build next. I want to start working on a Heavyweight for BBEANS5, but I'm not sure what yet. I'm thinking maybe another of my signature facespinners.

Wheelguards, meh, not really.  What it needs is a wider front.  Narrow fronts just don't work on popups.  I've tried it.

The bracket wedge stopper is also tricky to make work.  It has to be very far back to be effective.  That one might be too far forward, just looking at it.

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

That's a good idea. I have lots of extra weight, so I could probably make the front wider and upgrade toa DDT burst motor. That should improve it quite a bit.

New and improved


New Heavyweight

Quick Specs
30 iron Spikes
1 battery
4 Z teks
I has enough weight left to stack in a 2nd battery which I'll probably do.

OMGwthBBQ!!!! I'm back! I didn't realize how much I missed RA2.
Here's a robot for your viewing pleasure. Unfortunately, it's not an all new design, I had to rebuild an old bot to get the feel of things. However since it's never before been posted on GTM, it will be new for some of you. For those of you who have seen it before, there are a few differences if you look closely, also new skin!


Some victory shots against the infinite inertia AI pack.

They can stop pop-ups about 50% of the time. I have another version with wedges that stick out further, but less razor tips on the weapon. It might be better.

@Sage:The marked extenders sure do make life easier.
@Rier: Yes and no, A more powerful motor would be ideal, but fitting a HP Z-tec, or even a regular Z-tec, would require a massive change in the design. Trust me, I've tried. A redbird does the job for now.
