Grrr, JX's..
Weird single wedge setup you got going on there aswell.
I'll admit though, it looks cool.

If it's young Brando, then cool. If it's old Brando, then lolwut.

Burst attachment seems inefficient, though. Maybe 2 60cm panels are enough for that.

That looks like a fail wedge... every single 2 E-Tek drive wedge I have made failed.

And indeed you could do a lighter extender work, with just 60/80 cm polycarbonate extenders on multis.

Where would I use the weight though?

Also, new bot:



Unfortunatley fails against FSS which is what it's supposed to beat. D:

Would using the other attatchment point for the sledges help against the FSS?

I'm guessing you're using Plastic 1 here...I would say shrink the chassis, but you probably can't...22.3kg on either side to free up. Probably not enough for anything decent. I'm somewhat stumped here.

Ummmmm... G.K.? FSS eat sledges for breakfast. You would be better off with many static razors.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

True, and a couple small Beater Bars or LDSL Teeth if you have leftover weight.

Hosts are supposed to show their tournament entries to their own tourneys, so here's my tentative BTTB 4 bot:
