I can make you a CAD to make the plow legal if you want. I assume you want 2WD: the wheels can be put in the middle if you want since it can self-right with the axe. I can also give the wedge a "scoop" shape. Incidentally, you may want to think about taking a few points off your drivetrain and putting them into the axe so it can damage things.
	"you can give a fuck, just don't give too much of a fuck. there's an optimal level of fuckiness, and if you exceed your fuck quota you'll burn out." - BEES Trihunter on V900's New Undercutter: Spoiler: click to toggle Number 15: Burger King Foot Princess. The last thing you want in your Burger King burger is a 15 weapon undercutter, but that might just be what you get. A 4channer uploaded a photo anonymously to the site showcasing his undercutter wedged in Hellhound’s plow. With the statement: "This is the spinners you get on ARC." Admittedly, he had wedgelets on. But that's even worse. The post went live at 6:24 AM on July 6, and a mere 3 minutes later, the tournament organiser in question was alerted to the rogue roboteer. At least, I hope he's rogue. How did it happen? Well, the ARC user hadn't removed the weird-ass wheels from the uploaded photo, which suggested the culprit ate plenty of dicks. This was at 6:27. Three hours later at 9:27, the TO posted with wishes for more writing staff. 5 minutes later, the news station was contacted by another 4channer. And three minutes later, at 9:30, a link was posted: ARC’s online forum. The undercutter photo, otherwise known as exhibit A, was attached. The police contacted the forum in question the next day. When questioned, the admin said "Oh, I know who that is. He's getting kicked out of the tournament." Mystery solved, by 4chan. Now we can all go back to making speed wedges in peace.

HmmmmMMMMMMM...... Posts: 652 Group: Members Member #199 Joined: June 3, 2016	Actually Texas, I see where he's going with the axe. It's not meant to deal damage. It's meant to strike as many times as possible while touring the opponent around the arena, basically using it to win a judges decision. It can also be used as a clamp to better control the opponent. Imo, a scoop shape will make this even more effective

Ridiculum et Terribilis Posts: 1,035 Group: Members Member #197 Joined: May 26, 2016	I might actually suggest having qualifying for this tournament and actually from here on out. Some of the recent events have been so large as to be a bit unwieldy, and I feel as if 16 is a reasonable limit. I might have a total of 20 spots available, with the first 12 teams to apply guaranteed entry and the last 8 fighting for the four remaining spots. I actually think I'll do it that way in CBC.

Ridiculum et Terribilis Posts: 1,035 Group: Members Member #197 Joined: May 26, 2016	It IS more work in this case, but as a long-term solution to having tournaments that are just too large and unwieldy, it does the job. Everyone still gets a chance, but the eventual field is a reasonable size. Of course, it might be too late to institute something like that here, but that's your call.
