sometimes i wonder why i don't play ironforge more. it's really fun

then i remember that i don't know how to forge

steel 3. is a good de-wheeler/de-weaponer, but sucks against anything with tough weaponry

Why you using the drums vertically and with two different weapons?
Dsl bars seem a bad choice for armour too over the actual armour plates. Or you could opt for a more agressive/trapping setup for your front.

Trapping plow needs to be way wider otherwise everyone can just run away and flank you.

how's this? had to downgrade the armor a bit, but it does a much better job of trapping other bots

Looks pretty underweaponed tbh. Try downgrading the drive to slims (or even astros) and beef up the weaponry, maybe to blades on hex plates. Not a fan of the sickles on HS tbh. I also think 1 plow should be enough defense, you're gonna get deweaponed before the other bot gets through 2. If you're going for a more trapping design I would scrap the spin motors altogether and make a hammer or something.
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

Use blades, you don't need bidirectional damage.

doesnt look bad, im worried about invertibility though

Use blades, you don't need bidirectional damage.

he'll actually need to free up quite a bit of weight for that

Reduce armour, you don't need alu5 with those plows and a wedge, if either fail you're dead anyway, and this bot needs more weapons for a MW anyway.

3 duracells & 1 energizer. the angled spinners help it get back up quick if it's knocked backwards, idk about being flipped forwards

Looks cool. I would go with blades or sickles for the spinners. Blades do more damage than iron spikes but they only have a normal on one side IIRC.
