Why waste 6 kg attaching the drive and making it damageable?
Motor taking damage is better than chassis taking damage.  Unlike NPC, slim doesn't offer chassis protection when mounted internally.  Rather or not that's worth 6kg though is another matter.

No, that's why I used 120cm skirts.

If you mount everything off a flipper maker like this



 and use a 120 CM skirt you might be able to correct the stability problem.

Also, using 2 Flipper segments is more weighty than my use of 1.

Sorry I meant one of these and have it parallel to the weapon giving a longer forward stance to prevent flipping.

It's a trade-off.  So you would have to decide what you want after weighting the pros and cons I listed.  Personally I would use 6kg for something else if I can squeeze out the weight.

But that bot does look really cool, but I would be more worried with wedges going underneath, then bots hitting the front of that mag...
