Prometheus:

Good weapons, but unwieldy and unstable. I unfortunately ran out out weight and got sloppy. :(

I'll hopefully post more bots soon!

Hmm. Not too shabby. Good first post. You seem to have been lurking for a while.

Lurking seems to be good actually, you get a better start when you start posting it seems. I don't really have much to say about it, maybe you could just go down to 6 spikes instead of 12 so you can upgrade the drive to redbirds. Those motors are more for LW bots than MW ones, unless it does fine with them.

EDIT: Congratulations on 1,000 posts sage. :D

The motors seem far too high and the extenders are very vulnerable.

You can use the side attachement points on the extenders and make them double-stacked that way too, but it wouldn't change weight or anything. Good bot.

Prometheus 2.0:

It still has stability issues, but I think this is about the best I can do with this chassis.

It does good, but it loses weapons quick and has trouble with getting spun around and hit in the back.

if im not mistaken, Prometheus is a cyclops in The Oddessy. Perhaps you should name a one motored bot prometheus, cause then it would make more sense.

unless they are names that have been used specifically. I doubt he came up with prometheus unless he knew who they thing was. If you make up a name, then its fine. But if you use a name from somewhere else, there's usually a reason for it.

Prometheus is a Titan. Polyphemus is a Cyclope.

I'm lucky that I remember that from 3 months ago. Too bad I couldn't remember it on the midterm...

That's a LOT of beetleweights against just one MW.
