Im here to add some more bots to my showcase. These are; Mute, Swanky 2, Scoops and Not So MDGT.
Mute
So first is a middleweight bot based off Mute from series 7, this is a front hinged wedge like Mute.

Swanky 2
This is another middleweight bot, I wanted to try to make an angled 45' flipper and it works pretty well

NOT SO MDGT
This is a heavyweight version of my middleweight bot 'MDGT' and 'MDGT 2' It's now invertable and I have used larger wheels for the KOTH tournaments

Mantis 5/6 Update, I have added a second claw to Mantis, moved the ram plates to the front. However, I have chosen to keep the larger wheels for getting up ramps and kept the same amount of flippers to keep it heavy. (Mantis will no long be worked on).
Ok, so I've reworked NOT SO MDGT's weapons by adding 3 HP Zteks on the ends of the tri bar then adding tribars and maces on them, the results where entertaining. But I'll be changing it to stack a HP in the center and add maces. [Update on that soon]

Though I still need to figure out a way of making it so that it won't fall onto it's back when flipped (because on it's back it wouldn't self right), an idea I have was to use a extender at the back to topple Disruptor onto it's side, allowing me to self right. I think I have enough weight left but am unsure about space. (Any recommendations are appreciated).

NOTE: I have removed the pink battery, bring the weight to 388.8 and the wheels are slightly further out, yet remain inside.
A way that you can self right is get rid of the baseplate anchor and replace it with a blue snapper then add the stuff you had on the old robot as well as self righting it boosts the weapon speed.
>implying he can selfright with a bursted motor and 80kg or so on the selfrighter
No. What you need is to selfright with the spinner. No need to waste weight on three bursts just for self righting purposes.
Axe blades are also bad for spinners in general, mostly because they have normals (they only do damage with the axe blade). They only really work for rammers/pokers in Stock. Use iron spikes.
Also that is not irl... there are no weapon supports, the disc is floating in space. But no one builds IRL in stock, really.
Thanks for the feedback, so I've added iron spikes, added a smaller disc it stop them hitting the ground and added wedge to have it so that it counterbalances the robot.

Seems better, but show us insides.
How did you make your wedge ? Round extenders are in general much better than angled extenders. At least in stock.
Also you may want to change your general design so it can't get stuck on it's sides, or at least that the VS hits the ground and self-rights (or attempts to) if it does.
So I used the angled extenders to create the wedge, though my question would be how I would be able to change the design so it wouldn't get stuck? But thanks for the feedback so far, really do appreciate it! :mrgreen:

You still don't need the self-righting mechanisms. They're too heavy and offer nothing to the bot. Just make the weapon larger and slope the chassis in such a way that the weapon still hits the ground when flipped over.
Ok thanks for further explaining it, it's really helped. So I've designed the new chassis and this is what it looks like

So the VS now touches the ground and will flick the bot back on it's wheels, but I can still fit another 10 or so kg in, so if you have any recommendations feel free to tell me :mrgreen:
Thank you to everyones who's been giving feedback on my designs, it means a lot :claping
Next step is to make the chassis smaller. Those front corners are begging to be hit and the back corners do nothing. I also believe you only need one black battery.
With the added wait add more weapons on the disc.
I can definitely remove the front corners, but the width is so the vs can touch the floor and right itself and the back is angled so that the wheels can touch ramps etc.
Try this sort of shape: (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/65507advice.png)

You're VERY underweight there, especially when you remove that ballast. You shouldn't use the blue snapper for wedges.
I made a MW VS a little while back, maybe you can look at what i did and take some inspiration. (http://i.imgur.com/cNMCzqF.png)
Your empty space management is good but could be better still, and the chassis wedge is too steep. Despite all that, the bot isn't that bad, and I think it could be great with a few tweaks.
So I've added some longer wedges, altered the chassis to make it more stable and added some razors :dumb)... Oh and it's pink :laughing
