That chassis has no protection. Especially with that weapon setup. Maybe you could use only 2 extenders to attach, drop down to a nifty and add some casters or a plow? It should also be trivial to make it invertible with a snapper layout.

I'm not. just saying talking to brick walls is a waste of breath.
I'm under the impression other people read these threads so I feel it is still worth pointing things out that could be changed. I certainly spent a lot of time reading through recently active showcases when I was learning.

However, this is rather detracting from my previous point so free to continue this conversation elsewhere if need be.

If you're going to make a 1WD not (let alone an uncontrollable one) you really should have 9 weapons. You could also mount the drive on the snapper rather than wasting weight on both a snapper and a larger chassis.
don't question those who know infinitely more than you
Oh sorry, I didn't realise GTM has devolved to memeing even in showcases now?

5Z can definitely be invertible. I'm also not sure how useful casters are on the base of a LW. Would work better with side defence imo.

5Z has castors, which make it immune to popups. This also makes it stable.

Side defence isn't a necessity on a HS like this, but it IS something to think about. Thanks for the tip.

In what world are popups the threat to a 1WD HS? You want to protect your wheel and weapon motor more than your baseplate.

If you insist on the bottom armour then at least make it invertible.

Ah yes. Badger with the "as many weapons as I can get away with" plan. This is why I can't take IRL tournaments seriously.

You realise allowing people to edit their bot between rounds is ridiculous? Especially with AWs where there is little chassis variety.

I'm putting myself in the no camp here. No point in having permanent bans if we don't enforce them.

Well the download will you be your internet speed.

I would be curious to see how a Windows computer with a Geekbench single CPU score around 2400 performs.  Any takers? :)
I have a Surface Book with i7-6600u. Can't really find an accurate score for it but I can benchmark for you.
I could also throttle down my desktop if that helps.

Note that we will most likely be removing Eruption, Carbide, and Original Sin from the game, as they all have restrictive licensing agreements.
What's the chance you can leave in "Generic Bar Spinner", "Generic UK style Flipper" and "Generic 4WD Wedge bot"?

Probably the best way is to open up the bot file in a text editor and look through the components. If you give me and example of one you downloaded I can demonstrate.
