To be honest I wouldn't power them up, but you can allways try experimenting, run versions with powered up shots against another bot and then try a non powered up version against the same bot and see which works best. Its classed as an F2 because it doesn't shoot viruses or ties, but Jez is running a league for all bots, so your bot would face F1 bots that use ties and viruses. In the past some F2 bots have been entered into the F1 league and to some extent F2 bots are stronger than F1.

Should I remove the slime?
Jez:
Oops! May well be my fault that your bot died Kage. Yours was probably the first one I tested which is why I made this post. You may have noticed that more bots that I tested died v veg than survived, including every one of my bots that I tested!!
If you have downloaded the latest version of DB then you will be able to see how well it is doing for yourself, it has been suggested that it is the waste setting causing this problem so I'll be trying all the bots that couldn't cope again; after changing the waste setting.
AFAIK (I'm familiar with the old versions of DB not the latest ones but it should still be the same ) slime is a defence against ties. It doesn't cause your bot any harm to have slime when you don't need it, all it is doing then is costing nrg to make! It used to be that you could only have slime or shell but I'm not sure that is true still. I'll check the wiki in a while and make sure.
I am running all the leagues as one at the moment. Depending on the result I may then title that the F1 league and reinstate all the old leagues, that's why I am adding the (F1) or (F2) etc bits to the bots names, they'll be easier to sort back into individual leagues and we'll be able to see at a glance which are the dominant types of bots.
What I normally do if I change a bot, power it up lots or add ties etc, but keep the original design of an old bot is simply add a V2 or V1.1 to it. That way you keep the old bot and have a recognisable new bot while keeping track of how the new bot developed.
F2 simply means you can't use ties for feeding, it's fine to use ties in other ways though.

Can we leech in F1 if someone else ties to us?
Jez:
You can do anything you like in F1, the bots can be as nasty and devious as you wish.
