Henrique, my apologies for misinterpreting your comment. The octagonal frame is more offensive than defensive. It is for getting out of a pushing match. You are correct, It would be harder to spin another robot with the octagonal frame. Really the design comes from maximizing the area of the robot for game pieces and mechanism.

Without bumpers the weight is 38 lbs.
Since bumpers don't count towards robot weight we set their cad files to zero pounds.
