2 things. Use BSG, and use a 40cm skirt as motor extender.
Also you can probably reduce your chassis size.

 Simply point and pull the trigger. If that doesn't work, you can try this one instead.

I think you might be able reduce the chassis for that by sinking the front in a V shape. This is mainly for reducing the damage taken by popups.

Looks fine as long as the burst motor is touching the ground.

For Skyress, you can use carbon fiber extender instead of polycarb. You can significantly increase the bot's width that way.

Lol looks like you are very popular Naryar.

Excessively powerful weapons are not allowed(If you kill your opponent, you lose that match!) Lol so this tournament is about how to get yourself killed? Use double side aluminum maximize the likelihood of your chassis getting hit by the enemy? Spam flamethrowers to get scores but not kill? I don't like the sound of this at all.

My "cube" has the length and width of 0.311127, and a height of 0.338182. But since BFE is banned and I can't eyeball 0.027055 I am stuck with the rectangle that I currently have.
I think BFE should be allowed for making this chassis so we can have perfect cubes.

Can you change the 120 Carbon Fiber Extender back to it's original values? I mean it's not like we need 2 -400 anti ballasts in the game.

You can try dropping the armor to tit 5 and put external armors on (caster on bottom, multi+40 side panel top).

Bot needs static bottom armor. Since the potter isn't sink into the chassis, anchor + larger chassis is preferred over skirt hinge. Either that or you will need a caster to prevent getting killed by popups.

beater bar + ds light > razor for non flail VS.

Ah, okay. You probably could, but the bot would suck agaisnt everything else.
A wammer can pin and de-weapon them actually, but they are just not regarded as pinners in most cases since they wedge other things. The normal "weapon in front" pinner however cannot prevent bots from going on top. Some turn a few razors up to prevent it, but they tend to break quickly against VS.

I was referring to your claim that "You can't pin a wedgeless VS". Valid Query 2's match against Fever in TA could have probably gone that way if the AI had been Pusher instead of Rammer. Admittedly, against HnM, it doesn't fare well.
Maybe I should rephrase it as. You can't pin "my" wedgeless VSs. Since I was thinking about them when I made that comment.

Wedge is still a large part of get pinners to work. That said, maybe it's not a good idea to spam Fotepx's showcase about the effectiveness of every bot type. Valid Query 2?
How often does it remain in a desirable position again HnM4, RPP, or Cash Cow?

And pinners?
Pinner without wedge cannot pin anything.
Not necessarily, a wedge is only needed against another wedge.
You can't even pin a wedgeless VS. And good luck trying to pin a flail SnS without wedge.

And pinners?
Pinner without wedge cannot pin anything. And most pinners falls more into the de-weapon category than relying on wedge war to win.

Let me rephrase what I said, a bot can attack from the front, below, above, sweep, or return damage. After which we can compare how likely the bot is going to be in the expected position.
It takes the same condition to stay in front as it is below (win the wedge war and not get sweeped). A bot that damage from below (popups) tends to do this better than one in front (face spinner).
A bot that damage from above tend to rely on extenders to prevent weapon from touching the floor. While they have little trouble getting into position against wedges, they will struggle to get into position against even a mediocre sweep bot.
A bot that sweeps relies on denying other bots' ability to get under/get above. So far the Flail SnS is the best at this task.
A return damage bot does not care much about it's position. It wins by skipping all positioning mechanism and relying on it's superior weapon weight.
And finally, we have crawlers, which skips drive for superior defense/weapon coverage.

Just most of them are probably useless. :P
Agree. Crawler aside, the 4 types effective bots are wedge (includes everything that rely solely on winning the wedge war), flail sns, wedgeless vs, and de-weapon (Sting Ray and Refraction). This particular bot falls into the wedge category, as it does not introduce a new method of winning. So we can ask if this huge barrel is the most efficient way of dealing damage after winning the wedge war.

Remove those poly skirts in the front and add bottom armor.
