Nice!

I should probably nitpick by now, so you can still shrink the chassis. It could still be invertible with shinies, so with the free weight you can still add more armor or weapon breakers. :D

Not much more you can do with that bot.  You could shrink the chassis a bit more and possibly change to shiny wheels, but overall it's as good as you can make it.  Nice work.


Another possible option: Use a Nifty instead of a Supervolt; that should still be enough power and you will get a whole 14 kgs to add some razor tips or something.

For just starting out you build surprisingly well. With a little more practice you could build some pretty good bots. Keep up the good work.

It's been sometime since I last posted in here mainly do to the fact that either could not come up with any ideas or the ones i came up with, failed. Anyways heres one that didn't.

It's sorta a popup grabber hybrid called "Raise your Hands and Destroy". The DDt's in the middle each have 2 razors and as well as damage, allow it to self right. The snapper ll's each have 4 razors. 4 Z-teks with Rubber wheels on each. And finally theres 3 Black Batteries to power it. I would like to add 2 snowplows on each side but i clearly don't have the weight. Any ideas on how make/decrease  weight would be helpful.
And heres how it does:

Interesting design, I don't think I've seen one like this while I've been here. First thing to get the weight down would be to use only one DDT for the wedges, that save you a good 20+kg right there, I'm not sure if it only needs two Blackvolts, though, you might have to ask someone else on that. Maybe lose the plow on the top, I'm not sure it's completely necessary, it should fare just as well without.

Also, where did the other two ramplates on the front go? =O

2 DDTs (for self-righteousness!) and 3 blacks are fine. But yeah, the plow might not be necessary since it already has the side popups can do the job. You might want to add some side caster armor to make it fare better against HSes. :D

I thought the two DDT's with the popup arms on were for selfrighteousness. So two Small Wedges on one DDT would work fine. And the front DDT wouldn't be doing anything, so 4 HP Z-Teks, 2 DDT's and 2 Snappers...2 Blackvolts sounds roughly right, in my view.

One black would be powering the drive, an another black would only give adequate power for a DDT and Snapper2. Another black is always recommended, but it won't matter when the opponent lasts 10 seconds. :P

Dp here is a new robot:
Destroyer of Life




It has 24 irons and 12 maces. I would like to have another black volt but as you can see I do not have enough weight. Ideas for increasing/decreasing weight?

If you're gonna have the motors as far out ass that, you'll definately need a snowplow to protect them.
I'd suggest using a 20 cm extender instead of that longer one anyway.

@Above robot: Are the weapons hitting the floor?
Seems like they are.
(....more or less, I don't know if it has hidden wheels or something)

Yeah, you'll probably want the motors facing up anyway,stock bots are mainly bulky anyway, so it's not like a bot's gonna be too low to get hit.

you can use 20cms instead of 40cms to attach the motors to the snappers. you'll have to snapper load though. check out RA2: tips and tricks in the tutorials section to find out how.
