These are several tips to make your Stock bot really damaging.

Basic Weapon Info

Golden rule: the more weapons and the quicker there are, the more damaging the bot. Although, depending of the bot, you might want to have just a few weapons on your bot (Popups mainly).

If you want to have an efficient bot, don't use weapons over 12 kg. In Stock RA2, heavy weapons are generally less damaging than lighter ones, because they do weight more for less damage done. Yes, it's not realistic, but it's the game !

Why the golden rule? Well, if you hit an opponent with, let's say, two razor tips at the same time, each razor is going to inflict the damage it is supposed to inflict at the speed it is travelling . The mass factor kinetic energy formula (Ec=mv²) doesn't applies here. This simply means your two razors will do double damage than one razor if the two setups are at the same speed.

Weapon Setups

Use your weapons in groups. With some round extender work, you can make weapon heads/racks with multiple weapons.

I'm calling weapon heads the weapons attached to an offensive motor/piston - all spinners, hammers, pokers, popups, etc...

I'm calling weapon racks a line of static numerous weapons - rammers, pushers.
