    Regarding the drive, the Botbitz 80 amp esc are good and very reliable. Comet uses the 30amop ones if i recall - thats not my bot so just remembering.
    Yes, Comet uses the 30A versions of the ESC.

    Not the same weight class but Jibril uses 10AWG wire with a pair of 4S 4200mAh LiFe batteries to drive both the drive and the Scythe (should probably be looking to change that). In previous iterations of The Honey Badger, this was 12AWG using 2x 2100mAh 3S LiFe batteries. In your case, the wiring is probably going to be simpler if you are only using the one drill battery.

    I recently built a wiring loom for a fellow competitor which I guess yours may end up wanting to look like.

    If you wanted to add in a line for a weapon from the same battery, I'd splice in an extra positive and negative wire at the ends.
