Neatly built, apart from the wedge that looks really poor.

How many ant batts on this? 4 or 5 would be enough.

3 or 4 I think. The wedge is okay, but bad on High-speed collisions. The body is hard to hit though ;) . It is nearly impossible to hit from the back. It gets under Backyard Shredder's wedge with ease (low-ish speed), but Idk if that is a good wedge or not.

Not too bad, but still :

-Overpowered. I think 3 battlepacks and 4 ant batts would be enough. Will be lighter for the same total power.

- A near-85kg hammer head (weapon plus extenders) on a Mag Snapper, is, well, more than heavy.

-Rather than all these DSL bars for defense, i would put either heavy snowplows (if you want pure defense) or a weapon rack, Big Metal Friend-style.

-With a wedge and all that external plating i don't think it needs as much as Titanium 5.

I like how the bars can also work as rammers. I was just wondering what I should do with teh extra weight from the switching batteries. The Titanium 5 is because I had alot of weight left and no idea what to do with it.

Improve Ramming abilities somehow? Like a row or 2 of spikes in front.

That rammer spike rack works better than I ever could have hoped. It holds any wedge at the perfect distance for the hammer, while doing damage.
There is now 4 red batteries and 5 ant batteries, anong with the other control board. (the blue one)

Titanium 3
8 Iron spikes

Wow... the SHW looks like it takes a while to load, although looks effective.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

They are so that it can get under any bot, and it works good for flipping bots into the discs.

Dienosaur inspired it, I just added alot more stuff to it.

Water Moccasin is overpowered - you could even make that work with 3 ant batts, but i would reccomend 5 or 6.

And ugly as heck, but this is my opinion.

Pit Viper 2 looks well built although i would just use a bigger disk rather than steel extenders.
What? Whaddya said? Daisy Might? Well IMO it's better than risking being pinned by a fast bot lodging between 2 hammers, and there are not Blah's everywhere.

Sidewinder 2 - If this is a flipper, then i'm afraid to say it is unrealistic (upper snowplow)

Yes, Water Moccasin 2 is ugly as heck. But it is also indestructable as heck (just ask Condor33, hes seen it)
12000 hp sheet on top
A ton of spikes in front
about 5 or 6 titanium half sheets on bottom
and the motors at the back (attached to baseplate which=indestructable)
Also:
Grippy Tires
Invertable

Pit Viper spins faster than Daisy Might (less weapons).
So that means, less chance to hit the disk. I put the small disc on because that wouild make it harder to hit. Also, with a smaller disc, I could get a stronger disc. Daisy Might's main downfall.

I will make another HW.

I've seen your team - most of them are really well-built.

But Pit Viper looks too much underpowered (technically you would need 2 more battlepacks for that dual perm).

Also i need a team picture - and don't you want to skin them?

If you skin them, just send me the exported custom textures.
