### Self-score vs judge, by axis

Best round v2, 0–10 per axis

agent self-scoreexternal judge

**Judge:** The bicycle is solid, with spoked wheels, a red frame, handlebars, a seat and chain. The pelican sits on the seat with its orange legs reaching the pedals and its wing extended toward the handlebars. The weakest part is the pelican's head: the throat pouch is a huge orange blob hanging off the neck rather than under the beak, which makes the anatomy odd. The wing rendering is also somewhat messy, with stray overlapping feather shapes near the handlebars.

### Score by round

Out of 40. Each round starts from the previous round's best SVG.
