Firstly, that's a massive image for a tiny bot, shrink it down. You could still have invertibility with smaller, less heavy wheels if you raised your motors up inside, and also if that weapon assembly is fixed, I imagine the actual chassis isn't straight up in battles? Having the chassis straight rather than bent over improves steering. But yeah, that mag is massively exposed. What are the internals?

boring wedge

make it a dustpan

or a dantomkia styled flipper

you have 25 kg left

secondly, your chassis extends beyond the titanium sheet. rendering it useless.

and no shtuff attached to the base of the bot, cause its indestructible and not irl so might wanna just replace that with something else

Use less drive on Disc-ioteca, it can be made a lightweight easily and you don't need anywhere near that much.

Tomkiadan will get destroyed in battle - just look at the weight class it's in, and it's weight!
It's important to try and stick as closely as possible to weight limits - if you can remove just 50kg from it, it becomes a decent middleweight.

Good job with building to the weight limit, but those wheels won't increase turning speed when there's nothing powering them. You may also want to try getting that small wedge a little less vertical, I imagine it'll have trouble getting under stuff.

Great job on the flipper arm looks astounding.

Move the Ant batteries else where and fit in maybe a flatmotor.

Putting a pair of weaker motors in will probably hinder you just as much as axles - the slow front ones will only rotate at a certain speed... Honestly my way to improve the drive would be NPC's but that's a rebuild, hence I didn't mention.

He could move the motors to the middle. It should improve turning speed by then.
