So I found something interesting I took a version with big disc of shark bite(last bot posted) kept all stars ths same except used stretch to keep it 18 long but made it only 1 wide to create a bar in a sense that's slightly rounded and added weight back to get it as close to same weight as I could spins at the same rpm and tip speed but gained around 50 thousand joules of energy doesn't make sense and seems contradictory to what we were talking about above
It's the same thickness and same length but a width more in line with a bar spinner which unless I misunderstood you a bar spinner has more drag than a disc spinner of same length?

Finally I managed an original bot that i'm somewhat happy with... naming however is difficult, currently with a placeholder name of "Jeff". it'll do for now. [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]
Great bot! The only thing, I don't like about it are those "round" sides

The only thing, I don't like about it are those "round" sidesWhen you say "round sides" do you mean the wheel guards? cos I was struggling trying to figure out the best way to add some wheel protection that didn't look weird with the chassis shape. that was the best i could come up with. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Thanks for the feedback :D

Maybe it's just me, but in my opinion this Looks a bit weird. Just a small minor thing. [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]

The drive needs a improving too.
