Not bad for a member first learning stock. First tip, samurai swords are cool, but terrible. Swap them out for irons, razors, or spike strips

Now THAT's a fun bot. Try all-face spinners.

Insides? weight? Also, Sledgehammers aren't very good. Try an iron in its place. Other than that, I like your design.

are you using ra2cf on your design

Yeah. Just to help you Sickle when dealing with other people who play Stock, you play Stock IRL. The current Meta for Stock now is Unrealistic, which basically have builders use glitch and no outside program help to make unrealistic bots that are efficient. The IRL Meta is also currently centered in DSL now

However, there are few other players who play Stock IRL. Anyway, back to the bot, while I don't play Stock IRL, I think they do have a point with replacing the sledge with iron as I read from other Stock IRL showcases. Irons are just better because they have no normals, allowing them to damage from every part of the component IIRC

fact

iron spikes, maces and razor tips are most used one on stock.

anyway, I had no comments on these bot becuase IRL on stock.

I had no idea IRL stock exists...
Also, I agree with WenXiangLee. Irons, maces, and razor tips are best because they inflict incredible damage from all sides.

You should try out razor tips on tribars for your next robot.

Well, TommyProductionsInc, Superbomb122, and Antbot also play it. There's even two Stock IRL tourney out there, Banter Wars and RoboDestruction (the former is very popular)

I just discovered this, so I'll tackle everything here.

Why Not- As a base, it isn't bad-looking. However, the skin is perhaps one of the most random things I have ever seen. In addition, that spinner in the back looks flimsily supported if it is meant to look IRL. Clean up the skin and get rid of that spinner and it should look fine.

Bob the Spinner- That spinner looks very unbalanced. Also, I'm doubting it's reach is all that great. Make the chassis less boxy, shrink it, rework the bar, and use something other than swords on it.

Just Saws- Unit

Slam- That's a Beta clone alright. I'm not sure how to make it better, as Beta clones generally suck in aesthetics and performance.

Overall, there are many places to improve here, but I'm sure you can get the hang of things if you keep practicing at it.

AntBot (creator of robodestruction) actually has a similar robot named SLAM! as well.

"Slam" as in the actual bot from BattleBots?

I'd like to see Sickle build a Beta BattleBot replica.

I've been revisiting stock recently, and found some older builds.
