Well, not bad at all for a newcomer.

Criticism you asked on El Bandito:
- You should maybe add more frontal defense.

- You may also consider rebuilding the chassis and making a smaller one.

- Avoid pink batteries especially on a HW

- Snowplows placed like that (behind the spinners) are pretty much useless. You should move them to protect your spinner motors, and for saving weight you should attach it on the Snappers holding your spinners, not on different snappers.

- It's underpowered - adding a nifty would be nice.

-6 irons on a HW HS is insufficient.

Popup looks nice, although i would add side defense for warding off HS.

Does it have Double strength aluminium armor?

Don't use ant batteries on a Stock bot.

Before you ask, Look at the front of flippity doo dah.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

Nonsense.

Ant batts have three cylindrical elements; these things you can see have two rectangular elements.

Secondly, in no way that guy has DSL parts in that game : look at the damn components tab.

C'mon Sys32, I would at least hope you would be able to identify a DDT Motor by now.

The DDTs were obvious, but I do also want to see the insides, because I have really bad feeling that it has RAD drive and nifty in there

So are we...

The popup looks decent from what I can see, but I want internals before I can really judge.

El Bandito:
More weapons
Replace snappers with baseplate anchors
Make side plows parallel with chassis, the angle extenders waste weight and don't do much in this situation

Flipidy-Doo-Da looks good, but without a picture of the inside I can't offer much advice.

Glad to see a new face around here, I'm looking forward to seeing what you build next.

heres flipidy's inside (the pinks are quad stacked) i fixed the popup so instead of just a spike strip it also has an iron which gives a little more reach and punch

and to nar yes it does

1.Good Bot
2.unless you like the flipping power, switch the DDTs with wedges for Snapper2s, lighter and less flippy, but much less space taken
3. Try to shrink the chassis if you use smaller motors.
4.You need more weapons, but you chose a good weapon motor for them
5.Good drive
6.Pinks belong on Lightweights, try to use Supervolts and Niftys.

Hammer of Justice has a single pink battery, and I don't think that one is a lightweight...
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

I reccomend using razor tips instead of spike strips. Spike strips have a bad weight->damage ratio.
