This is my first robot: Space Odyssey.

It can win ANY fight, I guarantee it.

Special thanks to Thrackerzod  :claping

Best bot I've ever seen.  I give it a perfect 5/7.

It looks pretty at least.

You should be able to swap out the sawblade with a disc, put some razors or irons on there, and have that be a decent base for a face spinner.

Can we see insides?

Why thank you.  I give all the credit to my computer which allowed my to play the game.

Yea, it's not the most practical, but it was fun to make.  The only thing inside the bot are the batteries, motors, and controller.  No hidden secrets and nothing to look twice at.

Usually you want to show off the insides just so we know what motors, batteries, etc. you used.  Also, if you have to make two posts in a row, you can edit the first one rather than making two posts in a row,

Yeah pretty much what Thrackerzod said. I want to make sure that you're utilizing your chassis space properly. Empty space can eat up a lot of weight.

Alright so, as for the bot, here's a building guide you can read.  It's kinda old but still has good advice.

Thanks
