I love the little spines and tails and such you give your robots, it gives them an anthropomorphic feel.

sure because humans, and by extension anthropomorphic beings, have little spines and tails.

It makes your bot cooler most of the time, but it's just as often such a huge waste of weight as well.

It's not off topic, I am talking about how the bot. Specifically, how his passion for Starcraft, especially the zerg, seems to have seeped into his building.

About your question, if I calculate correctly it must tip towards it's tail.

But it doesn't contribute in any useful way towards the topic. It gives neither constructive feedback or advice.

I can see the bot performing poorly against faster rammers as they may potential knock it over too easily.

Looking pretty nice to me. A skin would complete it, in my view. What does it look like from the back, just out of interest?

It flipps it self over with every flip but selfrights pretty good:

Does look very good when it self-rights. Quite a natural motion, I feel. I might widen up the rear top edge slightly, so it matches up with the width of the flipper.
