I like it. Flipper DOES look a little messy though, and is probably pretty underpowered too. Most lightweight front hingers I've seen use more than a VDMA front hinge burst, so on a middleweight it probably won't be enough. You should probably get DSCs IRL extender packs and make the flipper yellow at the very least, but making the transition from one plate to the other less obvious/jarring would probably help with the appearance too.

I was really bored. Carbide just did a rerun of what tombstone did in Battlebots by reaching the finale twice and winning the stuff in the second attempt. I hope they change the format. I was close to shut the stream off cause it was so predictable and boring.
Agreed. This series was a real damp squib. Predictable snoozefests and 1 hit knockouts. Pales in comparison to Series 8. Not a single standout battle this entire series.

The 0-25 is the low end,
It goes to 50.
So you're almost 50% autistic then.

Its still a tiny bit too high and it irritates me
I think that might just be the angle of the screenshot. It's level when I look at it in game. BFEed it to 0.49999 and the extenders are 50CM.

I think you should BFE the chassis height a lil lower to make it flush w/ the panels.
I'm not sure I really want to go any lower with the chassis. The disc motor is already sticking out the top of the bot slightly.
That's fine, you can add some protection for it. I still would recommend lowering the chassis,
Done

I don't like the way the chassis goes above the wedges and panels. I do see it'll be difficult to work around however but if you could find a solution that would be good.
Updated Insurrection as I also didn't like the fact that the chassis was so much higher than the panels. Here is the result. Had to shrink the wheels and switch the side panels from Titanium to Aluminium in order to accommodate the slight redesign and fit in the CW weight limit. Succeeded though and I think it looks a lot better. Pics below: Exterior:  Interior:

Here's another bot. This one is a Cruiserweight successor to my Annihilation Nation entry Subterfuge. Since it's the successor to Subterfuge I figured I should give it a somewhat related name, so this is Insurrection Changes from Subterfuge include: - Perm 132 weapon motor instead of perm 80
- Full-size Minion disc instead of a mini one
- Steel front wedge and Titanium sides rather than Aluminium front and Polycarb sides
- New larger chassis to accommodate larger components
- Angled 'spinner killer' pieces on the front wedge
Works pretty damn well. May enter it in a tournament at some point if anything requiring Cruiserweights pops up. Weight of the bot is 596.7KG and the armour is Pl5. Pics below: Exterior:  Interior:  Would look better with the chassis a bit shorter but the weapon motor already pokes out of the top of the bot ever so slightly. All in all pretty happy though, though any feedback you have to improve it is more than welcome.

Rebuilt Nightjar from the ground up and managed to find a bit of weight to get a couple of triangle pieces under the angle pieces on the wedge. I think it does a decent job of making the bot look more connected.   Still got some nasty motor clipping out the back due to the nature of NPCS but there's not much that can be done about that. Front wedge construction still a mix of Al and Ti (Main panel is Al, angle pieces are Ti) and armour is slightly upgraded from Al3 to Pl5.

Looks solid apart from that. Maybe try and made the wedge and main body more connected, kinda looks like 2 bots glued together atm
my planned entry for the next Redditbots (Hence the disgusting skirt wedge. If I ever enter it into something on GTM the skirt wedge will be gone.)
Yes, thank you, I can and did read that. I felt that the wedge was so bad it was worth repeating, since the point of showcases is advice. Try contributing something instead of sh**posting in a showcase next time.

I agree that the wedge and the main chassis look a bit disconnected. I originally had a DSL armour triangle on either side under the angle pieces, which made it look a lot more connected, but they had to be ditched because of weight problems. Weight is the main issue here that's preventing me from doing what I actually want to do with this bot, as there's not really much I can get rid of to find the weight to do more stuff to it.
Weight is always an issue, maybe change some of the back pllates to polycarb to save weight, or do a small redesign of the front?
I just tried switching the back panels from Al to Polycarb and it only saved 5kg unfortunately. In terms of redesigning the front end I've been trying to go for an angled 'spinner killer's wedge, which is basically what the whole bot was designed around. Unsure as to how I can redesign the wedge while still maintaining that spinner killer style and function. Any advice?

This is Nightjar, my planned entry for the next Redditbots (Hence the disgusting skirt wedge. If I ever enter it into something on GTM the skirt wedge will be gone.) It's mainly designed to at least attempt to counter the spinner heavy meta they have going on there. Sadly weight has meant that the front wedge is partially aluminium, and partially titanium so it isn't gonna be as good at killing spinners as I'd initially hoped. That said it should still be decent, and the bot is fast, manoeuvrable and has a pretty strong flipper so it will hopefully be reasonably competitive. Weighs 399KG exactly and has Al3 for chassis armour. Exterior:  Interior:

Is it just the one orange batt in sequoia?
Yep. It seems to be more than enough to go the full 3 mins though.
