Three bots for you today. Two lightweights and another remake of the first bot I ever submitted. First the lightweights:
This is a new version of Zanzibar which I submitted to Redditbots for the new LW competition. I wanted to withdraw it and replace it with the second lightweight in this post when I saw how many spinners were being entered, but unfortunately he wouldn't allow resubmissions. So here's a generic ass VS. 1X TWM3R for weapo power, 2X Slimbodies for drive. Pics below:
Exterior:

Interior:

Now the second lightweight.Sundown. It's another front hinge flipper, and is essentially a lightweight version of Bocuma, but this time designed with Bocuma II's design in mind rather than the original like with the previous lightweight front-hinger I posted a while back. This was built to replace Zanzibar in Redditbots due to the high number of spinners, but got turned away. 1X Storm front hinge burst for the weapon, and 2X slimbodies for drive.
Exterior:

Interior:

And finally the heavyweight. This marks the seventh version of Tommib, and the very first fully IRL version. Blade no longer clips the motors, and there's no intersecting parts. It's also been rebuilt using DSCs IRL packs, and has been given a srimech arm again as I wasn't happy with the speed or reliability of self righting just using the disc.
Exterior:

Interior (Minus Top Armour):

(The disc just clears the batteries, though this image makes it look like it'll clip with them because of the angle. Honest :P)
