Needs 3-4 ants No, i want it to have speed for more than needed
Can it self-right? Mauler Dances for a little while then bounces back up onto the wheels
Use metal hinge wedges. No, they don't help with stability
Try and get more armour then No
try using the baseplate attachment on the halfsheets for stability and protection Tried, didn't work

But that many ants is just complete overkill.
1 ant for every spinning motor.

Downgrade the skirts to alum and add a metal hinge wedge in the middle.

I'm aware of this

Oh mannnn don't give advice if you don't know what you're talking about! By this I mean ty4er and freeeeez

Preytor, that bot has promise. Few things to make it better though:
You only need like 3-5 ants in there.
Those wedges aren't going to be good, if you want wedges use the door hinges.
I really dunno what to say about the weapon so I'll let Pwn or somebody tell you what to do.

Other than that, it's not bad.

Try getting rid of those end teeth as they don't do much and get in the way of the hammers.
Try minimising empty space and the amounts of ants.
Apart from that and a few other things it's good

Yeah, lose the teeth. Normals ftw! You might want to remove some ants, and balance the ants out between each side, in case the weight distro is effected. :P

Hmm, since those are normal NPCs, maybe change them for NPCF + Micros. I don't know for certain, but it may improve speed (Need confirmation from Nar or 123 probably), and they would lower ground clearance too. :D

You could use the trov chasis glitch on that and upgrade the armor with the left over weight.

You could also ditch one of the DSL bars and mount everything off a single DSL bar and a shell pannel. So it would be...

Hammer Hammer
Sheck Pannel--DSL bar--Sheck Pannel
Hammer Hammer

DP: more of an art bot, but i'm considering sending it into Total Carnage.

Use big control board in the first HS.

But, it causes unsymmetricality D:

Put it on top of the ants.
