I'm a bit rusty with stock but here's my take. I'm assuming you used ra2cf, that's not how it was done traditionally so my advice isn't taking the mod into account.

Face spinners are essentially rammers with the ability to chew the underbelly of an opponent. The weapons would be better at gut ripping if they were angled up slightly, and if there was an even numbers of discs spinning inwards. Your casters and slowplows aren't useful in conventinal AI vs. AI fights.

If you remake the robot, you could slim down your chassis and use maybe two black batteries instead of the random grouping you have now.

Ah Alright, thank you. Still relatively new to Unrealistic Stock

Lets try this again. Introducing Atomic

This time I did it the real way and didnt use component freedom. However, I do struggle trying to get to the weight limit. The Ram Plates are attached to Angle connectors because they wouldnt place with normal baseplate anchors. Unfortunately, I guess im not meant for stock. Feedback is much appreciated  ;)

Btw, the supervolt isnt clipping the snapper, its just floating in the air.

For a heavyweight,  you'll generally want two stacked black batteries. You can use ra2cf to do that if you can't do it normally.  I dont think anyone cares anymore. Try to learn how do do some of the other glitches legit though, like snapper loading. It will help you a lot with understanding what kind of stacking is and isn't allowed, and it will really improve your building. Make the chassis wedge longer so it isn't as steep and you'll be able to get under bots better. Once you stack the black batteries, delete the pinks and swap the snapper motors for the bigger burst motors. You'll need them if you want to hit hard enough to do real damage. Once you learn snapper loading and the Effe glitch, you'll probably be able to get more razors on there too.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

the first thing that offended me was the middle ramplate being placed far too forward

Ive been in the stock mood lately. If only the newer users didnt use CF we could have more tournaments.
 
One-Two-GO!.png

One-Two-GO!, LW hammer I made over the course of 2 hours. Had to start over twice once due to the chassis size and because I initially couldnt get two baseplate anchors inside each other a little bit. Happy on how this came out! (and this was the first time I successfully stack a CB inside a battery!)

Two new bots! Pop Secret & DARE

 
The HS's!!!!.png


Pop Secret has a Supervolt, DSA, two HP Zteks and RADs. I do plan on updating it before Herabitix's tournament closes so the drive motors are inside of the chassis

DARE has 2 stacked Supervolts, DSA, four HP Zteks (Weapon) and HP Ztek Drive. I was interesting in making a 36HS. I did pretty good I think now I just got to wait for a HW Stock tournament to roll around the corner

i feel like you could get better drive or armor or something on the mw if you switch to shinies. I'm sure there's a way to use 1 blue snapper too, that should save you quite a bit of weight. they seem pretty good though, good work

Yes, Herabitix told me there was a way to use one snapper. I'll get on it tomorrow (aka later today) and try to tweak it a bit more.. Thanks! :smile:
