You do realize that beetle bashers is IRL, right?

hammer is kinda nice... FS has a giant disc at BW level, needs to be smaller so you can make it invertible

Just wanna say that the way batteries work now in 2.2 is totally different from 2.1 so you might wanna rework what you are currently running, ant batteries are pretty ass now.

Again, the details are in the item's description. Like weapons, you generally pick which one is best suited for the job.That first bot's pretty okay, just change the ant batteries for a WP836E (black battery), to save 4 KG's and properly power your bot, and trade that old-school BSG for a new-school VDMA, for much more oomph in your attack. Then all you need to do is shave 0.3KG's from somewhere to keep it in the weight limit, which you could easily do by swapping the tite extenders for alu.
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**
Not fully sold on still using razors, especially since spike strips are now the go to weapon for popups. But still it's a pretty decent improvement. That being said, I'd err on the side of caution for battery life and try to cram a bit more in there.
Taco Cat's a funky design, but I'm worried, again, about you having too many batteries. Plus, them wedges don't look like they'd be awfully wedgy.
As in bots to test against? There's hardly anything to test against in DSL2.2, since basically everyone moved to IRL or Ironforge. 2.1 bots should have just as good wedges as before, so whatever had good wedges back then will be your best bet to test against.As far as wedge design goes, basically nothing has changed. The only thing I can think of is maybe you left before we realised that only the centre AP of the skirt hinge is actually wedgy. So don't use either of the outer APs for wedges. Skirts + hinges are still king as far as I know.
