To be fair, most droids are a lot more advanced than an rc fighting robot, and can practically use multiple weapon options, and there's probably no weight limit on this particular droid.

If you're doing a minimal-rules droid vs droid pit fight then more designs are going to be capable of winning than in the heavily regulated modern day televised rc robot fighting shows. What we've seen of droid fights elsewhere in Star Wars they aren't exactly intended to be fair the way robot wars or battlebots is, I'd compare them to rat-baiting or dog-fights.

That said, it's still not a good design. If you want to give a droid ten weapons, just give it ten arms or otherwise mount the weapons so they can all be used at once.


On a meta level, it's the sort of design you'd see as a prop in an old sci-fi tv show or low budget movie. The sort made of cardboard boxes, some old broom handles, tinfoil and a handful of dry pasta. Like an overcomplicated take on a dalek style prop.
