Your Weapon motors will be heavily prone to being ripped off by another VS or a pop-up. You can save weight by building the weapon off a single snapper and try putting moving the weapon motors in the chassis, using the snappers or snapper.
Your Drive is also heavily exposed and don't use those wheels! Use Shiny hubs because they better grip compared to the ones you're using.
Not bad for a first attempt but seriously, do have a read of ClickBeetle's tutorial here: http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm
Edit: Need to just say some more about this.
Edit 2: Good use on DSA, it's much better  in Stock compared to what it is in DSL.

It's not bad or naive like a lot of newbie stock bots, you just don't have enough weapons. You're using too many anchors and snappers.

Both of them has DSA, the problem with the popup is that I didn't know where the direction of the circle extenders are going, so I went for Squares to make it easy.

Tip for round extenders - zoom in close and you'll notice they're hexagonal cylinders. You could either keep track of the rotation while zoomed in or you could download some skin pack that adds a marker to the extender.

You might want to read this section of ClickBeetle's tutorial: http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm#extenders.
This Section is perfect if you need to know about how to use extenders effectively, without needing to use angle connectors as seen on The Messiah and knowing where to connect perfectly. Remember that in Stock, longer extenders like the 60cm extender, has the same amount of health as a short 20cm extender. For your Pop-up, try using multiple 20cm extenders for the wedge of your Pop-Up instead of a longer 60cm since the multiple 20cm will give you more health over the single 60 cm. Also try to avoid using the Square extenders if you can since while they appear heavier and easy to use than the round ones, they have the same amount of health as the round ones, being less useful, since you could use the spare weight from the round extenders for more weaponry like more Razors.

swap out the ramplates with a plow on the hs, that should get you enough weight to get more than 6 weapons

Why did you upgrade the drive on the HS? Your ramplate aren't going to be affective ramming weapons and you're exposed HPz don't have enough weapons.

Updated messiah, for Badnik's Mafia. You may think that it had short weapon range, but I swap it the other way around.

you should be able to get the zteks directly on the y connector with the eFFe glitch

if you attach the zteks to the hidden AP on the snapper, you should be able to make it invertible i think

also, HS at MW level don't really need that much drive, you could go down to redbirds or even rads to get more weapons

you have a ton of chassis space which you could trim down too.

it's definitely coming together though, not a bad newbie effort at all.

Only difference is that Mafian Messiah is dead, also uses rounds instead of Y's

you have literally no reach with those weapons, swap your battery and snapper so you can move the weapons further up

you should also be able to mount the plow off of the hidden snapper AP and get rid of that anchor/chassis dongle

Yu forgot popups were banned, huh? The VS/Rammer hybrid looks Good, but Im obligated to tell you that if you stacked the black batteries you could shrink your chassis and save a lot of weight. You should actually rework the chassis to be shorter and wider so you can space the Drive motors farther apart and stack the batteries between them.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

Do the VS discs actually manage to hit anything, or does the ramming rack stop bots before they go that far up the wedge? Does it even have a wedge, or just a flat front? The pics are very small and at bad angles.
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**
