Well thats it tell me what you guys think :)

Not too bad for a newbie, I must say. Good work not having much empty space, that wastes weight. What's the armour? Because when you build a bot, don't select armour. This makes the armour DSA, which is the stongest armour available. I would post more, but I have to go. No doubt there will be others posting advice very soon.

thanks ill use that website :D

Random fact: I got a bot called Dirt Devil which is the same color as these bots
-
haha XD idk how i thougth of the names

Try to build to the weight limit (248.9 for lightweights, 398.9 for middleweights, 800.0 for Heavyweights). If you have a 400kg Heavyweight, your opponents have 400 exta kg of wepaons, drive and whatever else.
Also, make the chassis fit around the components, not fit the components into the chassis that you've made. Bigger chassis weight more, and that weight can be used on weapons. The best bots have an airtight chassis, which is a chassis in which the components fit so tightly into the chassis that there isn't a pixel of empty space.
And, lastly, look at other's showcases. I'd reccomend Sage's showcase, Geice's showcase or NFX's showcase, as they're some of the best builders of the community.
I'll let the other, more experienced members tell you the rest. Have fun! ;)
-
Thanks :D
-
uhh yeah lurk around the other showcases because those bots are terrible to put it bluntly. I'd recommend you download RFS ai since the bots might be at your level, start attempting to clone bots that you see in other people's showcases, read up on the beetlebro's site, then maybe download starcore ai v3.
-
ummm..... yeah
the lightweight needs some significant weaponry, a single iron (i think thats an iron) isnt gonna cut it
-
its used to flip them and run the clock out not for a weapon -.-

im very doubtful that anything will be able to get on top of that to get flipped
and the best thing you could do for it atm is to use razor tips and have other bots be able to go on top of it
-
haha trust me they get on top :P
-
Oh, and when you have a few minutes, take some time to learn these glitches, and practice the on an empty chassis.
All this might seem like an information overload, but just do one or two things at a time if you feel a bit overwhelmed.

Nice to see a new Stock builder.
There's lots of room for improvement. Some of the most basic tips have already been said, so I'm not going to repeat anything. I know that you think your bots are top of the class right now, but if you were to download tougher AI Packs such as, say, Starcore V3 (https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2/AI_Packs/Starcore/StarcoreAIPackV3.rar), you'd see what we mean.
Looking forward to seeing what you build later.
-
Not bad, not great either. You seem to like making bots that look like real bots. Come to the dark side and check out DSL. It's got more components so you can make more realistic looking bots.

Before i'm gonna tell you anything, please tell me, what weight class do you wanna this bot to be?
-
i guess heavy ._. why do you ask?

Cause different weight classes need different treatments.....
Anyways, since you've said that this bot is going to be a heavy, here's some tips:
1. Use 4WD HPz drive with Shinies (the 12kg wheel) or Rubbers (17kg wheel) if you have weight.
2.You need wayyyyy more weapons than that, use either 2 HPZ and put alot of weapons with the help of extenders, or use 4 HPZ and just use 4 razors / disc.
3.For the upper spike, instead of using a DDT, just use either a snapper II (the blue one) or a baseplate anchor to put it.
4.Your bot needs a wedge. To make a decent wedge, use either a Snapper 2 (the green one) or a DDT and put it on your bot, add a round extender to the burst motor until you feel that the length is enough, and then slap a small wedge to it.
5.And finally, your bot needs a trapper. Use 2 snowplows formed in a V-shape/U-shape to make one. The snapper 2 makes this easier.
Here's a good face spinner for you to klone ( copy, draw inspiration from it):

You don't need to remember everything, you only need to remember no 1 and 4 if you're making a bot that have a wedge or 2 (Popups, Face Spinners, Leech style HS, Jugglers)
