Or you could take out the ramplates and use castor armor.

EDIT: Yay, me a superheavy weight

Rebuild the chassis and make the wedge shallower. Right now it's almost vertical. Add more armor via ramplates. Widen the wedges just a bit. Instead of bringing the chassis inwards in the back where you have the black battery, extrude it a bit and add a 3rd black battery. Get rid of the two razors on the end of the weapon rack. Use 20 cms intsead of angle connectors.

Hope that helps!

Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Cool!

Remove the nifty, you might have to remove a few razors to put in another black.

While those Samurai Swords make it original, It's not a practical defense for your entire front chassis. Try ramplates instead.

The blades would work better if the ones on the sides were angled out, instead of inwards.  Also, you can save a bit of weight by using 45-degree baseplate anchors and mounting the blades right on those, instead of using baseplate anchors + 45-degree angle connectors.  Might let you put on another piece of armor.

I like the look of that bot though.  You sure improved it a lot in one rebuild.

YAY! New bot
Mercury Monkey



2 Stacked Blacks
2 times 5 stacked razors
 This was a quick bot so chassis space is an issue I know.

It makes your bot look so much better if you take a minute and crop out the pictures.

We could make comments and feedback on everything BUT the bot itself.

Naw, that would be mean.

Nice popup btw.

I don't know about having all the razors stacked in one place like that... I think it would do better against HS if you spread them out. It's a good popup.

I dunno Sage. Seism 13 had them all like that and it convincingly beat HS's
