Thanks guys :D

I build it with realism in mind, it only breaks the part of realism where you attach to nothingness, everything else is made so that normal DSL realistic rules apply.

I quess I could drop the drive downwards some to give extra wedginess and give it some more drive motors. Its pretty fast for an UHW with 8 NPC Fast drive.

Fun fact: The razor arrangement went like that by a total accident. I first attached 24(6 each) of Small2 size discs around the bot and then some razors on those.
Then by BFE I moved all to their own Dual Perms and changed them to different sizes, after this I noticed that some of the discs had their spikes pointing down so I had to remove the spikes from those and move the empty discs to the bottom of their Dual Perm in order to attach new spikes.
Then I got an idea of rotating them slightly, so I palced a few Baseplate anchors each rotated slighly more than the previous one, then apllied those rotations to each of the discs and it ended up like that.

Also, this is a warning example what you can expect to see if you ever make a BFE allowed no rules kind of tournament. You can expect things crazier than this.

he said he doesn't build DSL that often, so he would make this a showcase for both.
