Not sure if there's a width limit for these bots, but Deep Six looked to be really tricky to control with those gyroscopic forces. A tall flywheel certainly gives a huge amount of power to the weapon, but the height works against it - something lower (but equally massive) and a wider wheel track might have made driving easier. Having said that... it won, so who the heck cares what I think! I know NOTHING about robot combat, and much prefer flower arranging and baking muffins and cuddling kittens and stamping my steel-shod jackboots on the upturned, tear-stained faces of the proletariat.
You are absolutely right that there are more practical ways of doing things, but some bots such as this are made with pure entertainment in mind, so a gigantic spinner is pretty awesome and fun.
Solid internals on Deep Six, keeping operating after sending itself bouncing into everything. I'm used to seeing Tombstone etc just explode when they do that.
Godspeed Rich. 😢
This was a brutal fight to witness.

That was a classic fight, I forget which one though.

Heavy weight Deep Six also looked pretty solid. This bot really was made to punch extremely hard
Rip
That thing looks like it was made from a Doritos locos tacos box
