Boa with R40M Orkan and ECC Thunder is quite popular, Golem with R40M Orkan, SURA-F Pinata and ECC Thunder is also an option if you want more firepower at the cost of speed and health.

Rogatka really needs two R40M Orkans, if you can't put two on Rogatka you should use GAU Punisher Ts.

I should also say, it's not too difficult to earn Gold in game. Your receive 50 gold every time you level up (total of 30 levels) and you receive gold for achieving various Medals in battle. The easiest for beginners to get is the medal of capture, you have to capture the most Beacons and be on the winning team, use a fast robot like Cossack with a close range weapon (GAU Punisher T, R40M Orkan).

You should also keep Medium robots (GL. Patton, Vityaz, Rogatka, Boa, Golem at level one, light robots (Gepard, Destrier, Schütze, Cossack) at level 2 and weapons at Level 5 until you're more experienced, if you level up higher you will get matched against better players using level 3 robots with level 8 weapons.

I should probably make a beginners guide page, there's a lot more I could tell you but this is getting too long for a comment thread. But anyway, there's some basics to get you started.
