nice stuff. the iron racks are really dense though, so do you think the bot would benefit from having them wider? also, why not use shinies?

It can be invertible with shinies or rubbers, but I like to have smaller targets considering it's only got two to work with. A wider rack would probably help against HS, but not really wedged bots since it needs to be able to turn around easily while it's getting knocked around, I also just like the way it looks

It's not a HS, so the snapper HPZs work well. And I think the game physics are pretty good about rotational inertia; the distance from the drive to the weapons is short so less force is needed to turn.

Assuming 10 razors is overkill, I don't think there's anywhere else you could spend the free weight. DSA is nice to have, but ultimately unnecessary for a one-and-done (or two-and-done) bot. Extra battery power won't do much when fights only lasts for seconds, so spending all the weight on razors was the best thing you could have done.

Since I found out I wasn't eligible for the Challenge Belt, I took the time to make a cleaner version of my initial entry. Wanted to see how many irons I could fit on a heavyweight

DSA and invertible, the setup was really complicated to keep within rule of 7 but not inefficient (basically used a bunch of red extenders as further T-connectors) with 48 irons, 4 pickaxes, and 2 maces in total. Same irons as One Way Ticket and less than Dark July but I traded for casters and a snapper setup. Thank god I had component freedom for attaching the weapons, and even still had to add snapper loading to keep track of where all the extenders were

Nice design. I see you enjoy the thrill of snappers just as much as I do.
