Not too bad.

A few general tips:
Build to the weight limit.
Minimize empty space in your bot's chassis.
View other showcases for ideas.

I could go into more detailed tips, but I'm kinda lazy right now :P.

Maybe they're meant to be shockingly bad. *Da dum dum tish*



Just kidding. It's alright. it wouldn't stand much of a chance against the bots of today but it's still quite good.

- Built to the weight limit
- Make the chassis as small as you can.
- It's not invertible. While that isn't really required, it doesn't have a srimech either, to get it back on it's wheels...
- A Nifty is enough to power those 2 Z-tek HPs. More battery power then that on your current design will only "improve" battery power to the point of pointlessness (unless you like playing 10 minute stalemate matches)
- Hammerheads aren't so good. Also it's not very effective anyway in it's current position.
- What armor does it have?

Try to attach more than one razor per piston, you'll get more damage out of it.

I don't know what armor your using, but I'm guessing it's not DSA, to get it simply don't go into the armor screen when making a new bot and you'll get armor stronger than steel but as light as aluminium!

BUILD TO THE WEIGHT LIMIT I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!

Practice invertibility. With your bots being invertible it willow you to:

a) learn to manage chassis space better
b) build the chassis around the bot
c) learn that wedges are the best things ever.
