Time to jump on the bandwagon with my own IronForge thing.

A Vertical Spinner:

Steel 10mm | 249.8KG (including 1 ballast)

Weaponry is a bit fragile when tested against the AI, maybe needs another weapon set with a sacrifice to some armour?
Turning is a bit unstable too, which is why the ballast is there – though it does not help that much.

armor is more important in IF than the other 2 and chassis armor is way tougher so you don't necessarily have to go the DSL route and make a teeny chassis surrounded by plates. weapons also do less damage in IF so defense can be very viable.
on a MW VS you can easily get away with slim drive instead of firebirds. I really think if you want a disk that big you need a stronger weapon motor though, it'll be a challenge to get weight for it however

Wedges are about 50/50. I may have to reduce the weapon size since it makes the centre of mass of the bot a bit too high.
