the poker needs better drive and the weapon setup could be better. 5 razors isnt enough for an unarmored lw poker with no wedges either.
plastic on mw popups with armor is fine, but there is no need to use y connectors for the weapons when you could use simple extenders like everyone else. the snapper holding a spike strip is a waste of weight too.
you dont need to be releasing an ai pack iah

I plan to see how the AI pack works as is, then, I plan to switch the poker over to DSA, and add irons in place of razors.

Also, the popup will change. I'm sure of it. The spike strip in the middle helps throw the opponent up on top of the popup.

RA2 is bugged such that all motors draw the same 100 power and there's no way to change it. So HP Z-teks are twice as powerful as normal Z-teks except with an itty bit of more weight. Which means that in almost all cases where they can be used over normal z-teks, they should be used.

You definitely want HPZs on your 36HS because you need the power to move the heavy 9 spike weapon bars. Also, 36HSes typically have HPZ drive. The true 36HSes that people like Sage and Inf built first had HPZ drive in along with the HPZ powered tribars and 2 black batts, but it takes extremely good chassis management to build something like that.

Not a stock guy, but to add the the spin motor battery drain, there's this:

This little antweight has redbird drive and is much faster than other antweights. It's a little weak on the weapon side.

a MW flipper. It's not very good compared to other bots in the pack, but it's still effective. Castor armor is a positive part about this bot. DSA for armor

This bot is replaced in the next edition of this AI pack.

This juggler uses bear claws, which is rare in a VS. It's well defended and very stable.

I read on RA2 wiki that i didn't post any of my effective crawlers. Luckily, this next team is almost all crawlers.

This crawler is a LW. It's VERY devastating, and has DSA. If it's flipped over on its side, it functions as a HS.

another effective crawler. Most of my crawlers are better than this one, but this particular crawler is still damaging, and surprisingly tough.

My most famous crawler- a 32 iron crawler named, "PrIOritY."

Dense 25 cm. castor armor, DSA, and a compact chassis. This is the newest of the PrIOritY series, and also the most compact. The first was very damaging, but had an empty-space-logged-chassis. This one is banned of unwanted space.

Nicknamed, "Bomb", this little antweight is a crawler with a difference. It uses castors at specified locations on the chassis to make it bounce around on the spinner. Maces are a rare find on antweights, so I thought I'd use them on this bot.

This is a SHW crawler. To prevent it from looking like Alligator, I added dense 25 cm. castor armor to the underside and 4 vertical spinners instead of face spinners. VERY good at singling out popups.

Pacman!

a dual wedge LW  popup. VERY damaging, but has plastic armor. Still a good popup because of it's dual wedge concept that most popups don't have.

This is a MW  popup entirely focused on weapons called, "Emerald Pain Wedge". It has 10 razors, DSA, and a good wedge. Believe me- You do not want to wind up on this bot's wedge.

Summit- my first castor-armored popup. Its weapons are likely to be changed due to the use of Y connectors in the next AI version. 4 spike strips, 4 razors, DSA.
