Do you really need HPz drive? And the Y connector feels very wasteful. I think this design would benefit greatly from a plow to protect the motors. You may even be able to replace the razors as well

You can probably save more space by rotating the black 90 degrees as well, makes making a near airtight chassis much easier
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

go for invertibility - this is a lot easier if you use a t-connector and possibly the other snapper orientation

First new bot I've built in 5 years, according to the most recent posts.  That sounds about right.

It's a chained angled VS for some reason. 796.3 weight, 2 black batterys, 2 HPZ drive, 24 irons (12 per disc), the discs are angled upwards and slightly forwards solely because I think it looks cool. Those goofy forklift things on the sides are to prevent gyro dancing when it turns, and because I couldn't think of anything better to spend the weight on.  It's probably going to lose but I had fun.

e-wedges are a better use of the weight if you want stabilizers (ideally plows, but looks like you can't spare the weight for it)

Yeah I'd be surprised too.  Its in Battle Arcade 3 so, let's see

Oh, good think.  I wonder if I could shave off enough to get plows....
