You are improving. Less extender work, and more weapons. Also use shinies, and rotate your drive HPZs 90 degrees to made them fit without sliding on the ground.

Much better, though obvious ripoff of Rigadoon Revamped. Shrink the chassis around the batery and anchors

I have the tri bars upside down, so it does not scrape, and for some reason it won't move with shinies, witch ticked me off, but I'm not rebuilding it for that :mrgreen: , so that can't be improved, and do you mean more HS? I might leave it 'cause I wanted to try to built a dubble HS
 
also, I based it off of a bot in Barbies showcase, and tryed to make it my own way

Doing better dude!

Plusses: Well armoured, good weaponry, built to the weight limit! *gasp*

Awesome.

Bad stuff:
chassis is fat... take it off the McDonalds.
Learn to use the other connection points on extenders instead of relying on t connectors.
you should try to base the build in the middle of the chassis so that the bot will be invertible. You kept your baseplate connectors pretty low... if they were higher toward the middle i think your bot might be invertible, tough to say.

Because you did so well with improvement... I am going to make a quick tutorial for something that will improve this bot greatly.. give me a half an hour.
