It's IRL. But the way the crusher is placed it will lift itself up instead of crushing anything.

I think the best bet with crushers is to have a normal BSG, but have the crusher starting in the closed position. That way, when the crusher is fired, it raises and comes down on the other robot, staying there.

I might be wrong though.

I ment more on how to mount it properly vertically. I can't seem to mount it so I can maker perform as a crusher

That could work. I'll give that a try. Horizontal crushers are easy, just couldn't think of how to do vertical

May I make a suggestion?

Recently, most IRL Tournaments usually have a slight amout of BFE, mainly for just bot height. Maybe consider using it?

Probably Entering. May make something along the lines of Twisted Metal.

Edit: Is this pair OK?

Yeah, you should probably get rid of 2 wheels from your LW.

The LW has a static spike and has no way to self right. So I decided the high weight would work for the LW. But the mid wheels will probably happen if weight is an issue. Is the HW okay?
