I would accept that LW hammer as IRL as long as it doesn't gain a significant advantage when the hammer swings out of control.

SHW won't be legal because the wepons hit the floor when the match starts. Still looks crazy though.

What's the purpose of that rule anyway?  I mean, I wouldn't call Craaig's SHW IRL, but you could definitely make an IRL bot with that design.  I just don't see what it's meant to prevent.

...So you're not sure what it was originally made for?

Why not just make a "no crawlers or spikeballs" rule?

Max just copied Freeziez's BB rules when he took the series over IIRC.

Yeah, I've been kinda lenient on that kind of stuff. I took out the no fs rule recently but I guess I should update that point as well.

I wasn't really planning on entering it because it is silly and probably not IRL. I think there should be some leniency with bots that have weapons on/for wheels, I mean I added the beaters to try and help with traction, not to score points, and there have been a lot of bots with sawblade wheels.

I made Crasp Evo Jr a lot shorter and restyled it as Colossus. Most misleading name of the year. And yes my drums are still pink.

Something that isn't a generic box, nice.

Looks good, how's the weapon?

I'd try to get the wheels in the chassis, but other than that it looks fantastic.

Not happening without a full rebuild or drive motor downgrade. I don't think it's the worst thing ever as it is :P I'll skin a little hole in it or something.
