You have almost 80 kilograms. Use them. Put at least another row of Irons, and swap the T connectors except the one in the middle for round extenders.

Ditch all those T connectors and replace them with extenders... but have the secondary attachment points of the extenders rotated to face forward.  Attach the irons to those attachment points. You will save a lot of weight that way.  Learn to use the secondary attachment points on extenders instead of using T connectors and angle connectors, it will make for more effecient attachment.

You have taken our advice, thrown it in jail and lthrown away the key. I'm not going to comment on the new bot just yet. About that rammer though, this is what I meant about the extenders:

Then why have you left over 100kgs?
Why are you using 90 degree connectors when you can use round extenders?
Why are you using ballasts?
Why are you using two bad weapons only?

You do know that cheat parts aren't appreciated that much, right? :P

Again, see what G.K. did to the iron rack. He used round extenders, which are 3kgs lighter than bulky and brittle T connectors. Plus, you can add one more iron for less weight.

Also in stock, we have a principle of 'the more, the merrier'. That applies to your SnS. Instead of those inefficient fireman's axes, swap them to iron or razor racks like Pillar of Fire:

Clash Cubes 1 - Grey Matter (Runner-Up)
King of Karnage - Sideshow Freak (Runner-Up, Best Engineered)
Rust In Pieces - Paper Cut 3 (Grand Champion, Most Dangerous Bot)
Wheely Tag Tournament - Ion Thruster (Grand Champion, along with Ounces' DiSemboweLment)
UK vs USA - Dark Striker (Grand Champion)
Rust In Pieces 2 - Claymore (Runner-Up, Favourite Bot)
BBEANS 6 - Infection 4 (Runner-Up)
RA2 Team Championships - Serious Business, Skeksis (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, and Badnik)
RA2 Team Championships 2 - The Other Stig (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, Badnik, 090901, and R1885)
Replica Wars 3 - Abaddon (Runner-Up, Luckiest Bot)
BroBots - wheebot & yaybot (Runner-Up)
Robo Zone 2 - Dipper (4th place, Survival Champion, & Best Axle Bot)
ARBBC - The Covenant (3rd place, BW Rumble Winner, Most Feared BW)

No :P


Why the heck do you have an angle thingy on the burst when the burst can TURN to face the way you want it to?
I'm not sure the burst is necessary on the scoop.
Chassis could be shrunk
And it's 60kg underweight - and 3 maces isn't enough on a MW. I think you get where i'm going with this. MORE WEAPONS :P
