LW looks too slow for a rammer.

Flipper looks alright, maybe get rid of the side skirting assembly for some added batteries, or upgraded armour/wedges/drive/whatever needs improved.
If you upgrade them to steel, and drop the beaters holding them on from Large to Medium, that should eat up some of the remaining weight.
You can mount the wheelguard skirts vertically, like I did on my recently showcased No Quarter. You'll still be able to drive around perfectly fine. Maybe some sacrificial CF extenders somewhere, or an extra ant. Definitely looking good, though, if a little short with wedge reach.
ALERT- Another WS coming up...
I'm fine with hugging reier
it's coolit's like Dark July DSLAnd yes, rammers are one of the manliest bot types. What is more exciting than rushing towards your opponent and slamming on them with fury ?

If you're going to overarm your bot you need it to be wide too.

It's not a rammer it's a pusher. It doesn't rams it's opponents nor (mainly) relies on speed to defeat them, it relies on it's superior weapon weight to outweapon them.So no, you don't need speed to win. Not necessarily at least.
And Dark July was sooooooo successful :P
