Here is my first bot, H.I.S.T.S (Haven't I Seen This Before). This is the first bot I feel like I can enter in a tournament and expect something. I just went wild with the skins. [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]

Ra2cf is making it worse. If you did this robot legit you'd have to make that chassis bigger to fit anything, and then it would be closer to the weight limit.

Apart from the use of CF. I have a few criticism to make. To start off, I would advise not to use the spike strips for the main weapon since unlike the same component in DSL, spike strips barely do much damage in stock. Instead try using razors due their high piercing/damaging capabilities, other weapon components like Iron spikes or maces in some cases, are also effective for a poker due to their damage capabilities.
If you are going for an unrealistic build style, instead of using multiple pistons for the weapon, instead just one piston with a T connect on it, some extenders then stick as many weapons as you can fit on. Remember that unrealistic gameplay is not tied to weapon spam rules of IRL building, so with the weight saved from cutting the number of pistons down, you can have more weight to put into better motors, heavy components or more weaponry. In addition to this, you might want to move your burst motors and swap them out for snapper 2, since your wedge is too steep to get under most bots, which means your weapon cannot come into play. With lower down smaller bursts, you'll be able to get your wedges low enough to exploit any low ground clearance. Remember to build to the weight limit. Change the normal Z-Teks for high powered ZTeks. Remember that all motors in Stock drain the same amount of battery power regardless, so you don't need to change any batteries, unless you're using more than the required amount for a heavy-weight.
I'm aware that this is a lot to take in, but just take one step at a time and you'll have it. Also, I would also recommend reading this if you haven't already. This should contain want you need to know about Stock building in general and without using CF: http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm
