i would change the beaters to razors(if they are better)

That depends on what you intended your poker to be. DP-based pokers and concussion-based pokers have their own pros and cons. :D


[Edit] Also, there's nothing wrong with what you said. A DSL bar+small wedge setup might be better if it makes the bot wedgier, but as of now we're just uncertain. :P

Yeah, I was simply stating why Half-sheets are good, not why DSL bars are bad.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

But DSL bar wedges are useless once the small wedge falls off.

I think it's better just to go cheap on the wedge by using flipper segments.

I like it a lot except for the shell panel.

iirc they don't have enough hp for what you are using it for right now.

That Perm looks like it will fall off easily... and if one of those sledges comes off you are screwed.

Nice clamp, but what scrap said really.

Oh, and this is a Fight or Flight-style clamp, doesn't really works like Complete Control. A Complete Control-style clamp would be more fitted with super-torquey and super-slow spin motors.

Looks like a HS could rip off those plows quickly.

Looks like the plows just hinder bots from coming into contact with the flywheel. Maybe some other type of stabilisers would be better?
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**
