No the wheels are fine. Most SnS have an awkward chassis like that. Take a look at "Spin Doctor" from the Starcore AI pack.

I also just got an idea to make the flails extend as soon as the fight starts. I'm building it now to see if it works.

I was actually thinking about replacing it since the flails don't extend until about 4 seconds. It's just too long and exposed to rammers and popups for that.

Nah, I like gut rippers. I think I'll enter Seism 16 into the pack though, so I have space for one more Middle Weight.

It's actually the complete opposite. It would never extend when I removed all the spikes with just the mace. I'll see if plastic works better with a heavier flail.

Inf is right, according to laws of physics. They're heavier, so you need more force to extend them... that is more acceleration = max spinup speed.

Anyways i have a 3WD flail SnS in preparation for RAW... you guys will see

Blue snappers. The stereotype that Blue snappers are bad isn't true. Seism 16 uses Blue snappers and it got under Naryar's best wedged Middle Weight bot in the tourney 2-0, and Seism 16 is my best wedged bot in the MW division. Perturbed also uses Blue snappers. Drive is attached to the back of each snapper for Perturbed.

It's the same blue snapper that got under at least 95% of your bots in the Re-stocked AI pack first try ;)

I think I'm gonna use this instead of the fixed Unmagnanimous for Inf's AI pack.

Very very good wedges. I think this bot has my best HW wedges because of all of the forward weight into it. Irons on the top keep bots from flying over it. Overall, very good wamer.

Is that the same unoriginal skin that's been used at least 100 times ??

The bot looks good, however.
