You're on an arena that is very well known for crashing. Try another arena and see if it fixes the problem.

In a way, I feel that some of my designs are timeless. In another way, I think I was never as good as I thought I was.

You have enough weight to get six wheel drive. Do that first, then load up on as many razors as you can. More weapons are always better.

Wait if CO2 is safer than Nitrogen then why is CO2 banned and Nitrogen allowed on Battlebots?
Its lower pressure, but the storage method is different. At that(850psi) pressure, CO2 becomes a liquid, but every time you fire the weapon it gets colder as it changes states and pressure drops(The advantage is that is keeps the pressure consistent, letting you get more flips out of it). Nitrogen and HPA stay a gas in the tank, and do not cause much of a drop in temperature. Some theorized the reason BB bans CO2 is that a ruptured tank might freeze over, blocking the gap until the match ends and blows up in the face of the builder once the CO2 heats up and becomes a gas(I think that explanation is bull honky, as UK feathers have been fighting with pull pressure flippers and spinners in the same arena for a long time, and not once have I heard of this happening). Another reason might be to discourage builders from installing heaters on their tanks to keep pressure up(Inertia Labs did this).

Considering that most of the high powered flippers in the UK run unregulated CO2(850psi), it would be a lot harder to run N2 or HPA(5000psi) and still be safe.

*Sees M.O.E. Entered*
PLEASE APPROVE M.O.E. BATTLEBOTS
They already have Tombstone. Other than legacy, I'm not sure what else MOE can offer.

Skirt hinges make for decent wedges, but only if you use the middle attachment point. Burst motors still make the best wedges, fallowed by metal hinges, fallowed by skirt hinges, fallowed by axle hinged wedges.

Quick tips:
Angle connectors and base plate anchors are useless, use multi extenders and extenders instead.
There are no other batteries besides the ant batteries. Use one for every spin motor.
Empty space is the enemy. Get it as tight as you can.

Meet the bare electrical guts of Obsidian. I might gut Hyper Speeder for a pair of escs to get this one going.

And of course, my battery is wrong(3S when I needed 4S), so now I have a spare three cell lipo I don't know what to do with.

You can't have a flying unit that weighs more than 10 lbs, so I guess you'd have something like a flamethrower shooting downwards
Which would be completely ineffective, moreso than a normal horizontal flamethrower.  Flames burn upward.  You would end up cooking your own bot.
Think of the following (If your bots shell is some ferrous thing, and it's not a bar spinner)
I bring a Quad with a nice sized set of STRONG N Magnets for feet(Resting on the mother bot's Aluminium surface at match start)
It drops on your bot and "locks down".. then it turns on a tightly focused flame and commences burning. If it lands on a non-weapon part of your bot, it just might achieve burn-through before it toasts itself
Considering that most bots top plates are made from polycarbonate(Non ferrous, and extremely flexible) or titanium(Melting point of 1600 degrees Celsius and non ferrous), I really don't think it would burn through even if you could get it to stick, which it wouldn't.

Wedge is 2mm Grade 5 Titanium, so it takes a hell of a knock.
That thing was a real bitch to grind, worked nicely though.
Ugh, .8mm is already a pain in the ass, I'd hate to see how many discs had to die to make Snappy happen.
