I would switch to 2WD and maces. There aren't that many weapons on it right now.Complex spinners are difficult, so it's nice to see someone build one.
Good luck is all that can be said. Until you put out any actual content there will be doubt.
As for the bot, if you wanna go wedged lw I would use a blue snapper. Wedge game is hardly a topic in lw because all the bots a lw hammer should beat won't have wedges anyway, eg Hs and rammers. It's a toss up for popups but good luck getting under a pop up with that high center of gravity anyway. That's why hammers like turn down for what focus on defense and the hammer than a wedge.
Samurai swords are not exactly a great weapon in stock (unfortunately), so my advice would be to use them as some sort of cool front armour, using razors for the popup weapons themselves.The spinning blades are also not going to help with the effectiveness of the design, so maybe consider using a blue snapper to have two RADs with tribars and razors on them, or something like that. You might be able to get more weight to do this if you make the chassis smaller by stacking some of the blacks (if you can face it :P).I haven't played stock in a while, so the better stock builders can probably give you some better advice.
well its because I have High Functioning Autism

Couldn't you have eFFe'd the samurai swords into each other removing the need for 2 of the snapper 2's, and also you used a DDT for the wedge but snapper 2's for the motors, why would you do that
It was just an experiment to see whether I could make a weird hybrid thing as I said
basically, its my theory that starcore got better at building by making the starcore v.1 ai pack, then making other bots to challenge them, getting better every time.So in my head, I thought that if this worked for starcore, it might work for me.
Ok, I think it's time for a tiny rantSince when in ra2 did you get sent to the slaughterhouse for building something fun? It quite clearly states it was an experiment, so there's no need to be assertive about it, I just thought of an idea, and built it, and thought it could be done better by other builders, as stated in my original post. Since when was it a sin to muck around and see what can be done, and tbh I'm not one of these venko types in the bot lab who takes decades, I have other things to do[\rant mainly directed at Kurts post]

Stock is all about efficiency, so if you build something inefficient, people are going to criticise you for it, and some more harshly than others. You shouldn't let people put you off doing what you want to do, though, else you'll never have any fun.Almost everyone who commented on your bot gave you some advice to make it more effective. You can choose not to take the advice, if you don't want to, but remember that advice was posted for a good reason, to help you make your bot more effective.It's late-ish and I can't be bothered to proof-read. If I said anything that sounded like I was attacking you or whatever, it was entirely unintentional.
WTF is this?
The spinning part is going to hit nothing, and those Samurai Swords will do squat to literally any Stock HW.It's underweight, underprotected, and the chassis is too big,
