Upgrades are already looking pretty good Lucy! The BBB drive kit should certainly give you a good boost in power and reliability. The nylon studs also sound like a good idea, may be worth doing something similar to the sides as well (or possibly some form of roll hoop).

Was also looking back at the fights from Chatham, and I noticed you ended up losing a fight due to your link getting hit. Given the height of Honey Badger, it may be a good idea to move the link up to the top of the robot? Should greatly reduce the odds of it getting knocked out at least.
