Well, your latest 2 bots are pretty nice already. But just remember this: Rear armor isn't necessary at all unless you can have them function as a stabilizer. You really can get bots invertible with shinies, even rubbers. Your chassis only needs to be as tall as a HPZ. When making the chassis height, drag it all the way to the bottom, and raise it by 4 clicks (correct me if I'm wrong). Also, visualize your robot setup (make sure everything is very close to each other) first. Then build a chassis that is somewhat skin-tight to those components. If something doesn't fit/there's empty space around it, rebuild it with some tweaks. I know it's a little time-wasting, but it's worth it when you can see that you can use all the remaining weight with more weapons.

I could give more advice, but S32's project seems to be looking good. :D

yeah but just trust me, I'm not
 
reir would not create 20+ threads, post to the point of being a MW, start a huge showcase, progress, stop spaming, create a second Youtube acount, fill it up with vids, and try to get advice from legends under a fake acount
 
also, you know I'm not reir, or else you would not be using me for the evovling AI thing
 
can't you just believe me?

Wow, great improvement actually.

On the first one, try using one baseplate anchor with a T connector and some extenders coming off of it. You can get more weapons on this way..

On the second one, don't use a baseplate anchor for a wedge. Bad idea. Use a snapper instead.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

@S32: Symbiosis is not between two members of the same biological species :P

@Sage: And weight on the front of the bot, and blades on wedges... the list goes on, especially in DSL.

@Thread: Why is there so much fail here ?
