My best Lightweight:







Black Death is a rammer with a free spinning disk mounted with 4 spike strips and four razors. Reverse Angle motors for drive.

My best Middleweight:





Crazy Canary has 3 regualr Z-techs with three iron spike on each. Reverse Angle motor for drive and can destroy any stock robot in RA2.

Any comments or criticisms would be apreciated. :)

first one- looks ok. would be better if you were to put the disc on a motor. looks like a redbird would fit.

second- dont need the pink batts. chassis could be smaller.

better then some peoples first post. keep building.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

As a general rule, instead of using pink batteries, use a single nifty (orange) battery. It lasts longer and is the same weight as 2 pinks.

Also, 1 black battery is generally enough to power most middleweights. In Crazy Canary, if you remove the two pinks, you will save 16 kg's, which might be enough to upgrade your drive to something better, or your weapon motors to HPZteks.

Good first bots. With more practice, you'll only get better.

You should swap out your 2 nifty batteries for another black one.

Also, you should download Starcore v1.0. It will give you a pretty good challenge. Once you can beat all the bots in all classes there, download v3.0. With tougher competition, you should improve :)

I have starcore v.3, I manage to beat nearly all the heavyweights with a lot of strategy, and now I am trying to beat them with brute force.

Looks good to me, Is it invertible? I reccomend getting Starcore AI now, you seem ready for it.


For once the mods did something right

I will, and FF is not invertible so to speak, but I managed to wire the motros to go the same direction, so when I am upside down, I can press a button and the motors will start spinning and eventually flip the bot over when enough kinetic energy is going the same way. :)
Any comments would be appreciated. :D
