Defects: the frame geometry is odd (seat tube and top tube join awkwardly, the fork is a single straight tube, and the head tube is missing), the pouch is oversized and blob-like, one foot floats oddly by the rear wheel, and the chain routing is simplified. ### Score by round Out of 40. Each round starts from the previous round's best SVG. self-scorejudge ## Every round Click a drawing to open it in the head-to-head viewer. The outlined card is the agent's best round.
