Replace the full plate with a heavy plow, and you will have a slightly better version of FnF.

You have the extra weight anyway.

I like this design a lot. You have a little bit of weight left, but I don't think there is any need to use it. I don't want to give advice because for one, the bot doesn't need it, and two, I don't want more advanced builders to get mad at me for posting advice. I'd call that bot complete. How good is the wedge?
Hey, I'm hardly an advanced builder. I'm the average builder these days, and not in the same way as freeziez.

I'll do that when I'm done with some homework.

Edit: It outwedges all the bots I've tested it against in 123 AI.

Not to say that 123AI has any particularly good wedge or anything.  It's random, you put metal hinge on it, you either put angle skirt or small wedge, and somehow some wedge works and others doesn't.  Although sometimes it also seem like some wedge is better than others until you run it 20+ times, then it goes from winning to losing just like that.

Yeah, the Sns are where it's at in there. Wedges are irritating, they are impossible to predict.

Replace the 'drum' discs with 40/50cm panels. With the free weight hopefully you can upgrade to E-Teks. If not, at least double-mags should do.

On a HW the most you need is NPCs. TWMR3s work pretty well; the motor speed has little to do with effectiveness as the weapons are on vertical flails. Hell, I tried piglets and it could kill most gut rippers.

If you're trying to buff up the HPs of the arms, you might as well buff up the HPs of the motors as well. It's not like your drum discs will knocked off anytime soon anyway.

Took away a little of the extra armour. More destructive, jumps a little but still very effective.
Also I build this sns.

Its stable and stuff. Destructive too. Otherwise it sucks.

The SnS needs weight posted, although it looks like it could do with more external chassis armour and less heavey extender work (lol, that doesn't sound right from me, i alwasy like to make over heavy extender work XD).

Weight is 389.7 for the Sns.
And I really can't think of a more effecient extender setup. Maybe replacing the drum would work, but then it wouldn't look as bad-ass.
Also, what would I use the freed weight on? It can take out just about every non-sns.

Not enough reach. Would be a little pointless.

Just for looks, and for originality I suppose. Just there to look pretty. (If you're poor at guessing bot types it's an 180 degree hammer.)

Surprisingly it's pretty easy to drive. Requires the pause button before matches, and that causes it to flip over, but by sing the hammer and the drive in opposite directions it self rights pretty easily.

I may put it up for download (not on the exchange as my bots don't show up on the exchange for some reason)

Use a DSL disc instead of a shell disc and use 2WD so you can attach moar armor and moar weapons.

More weapons is a little difficult, as it barely swings with any force at the moment. Might add more armour and use Tornado Mers or something.
