If you're going to make a showcase, could you please post us a screenshot of one of the bots you made, instead of just announcing that you wanted to make a showcase?
Either zoom in closer, use two pictures of your robot or crop your pictures.As for the robot, it looks acceptable. There's something about the tiny "hands" over the discs that I don't like. Try making them thicker if possible.

For that one, I will first prefer a different name. Headache is already taken by an axebot on Orc's Wars Overclocked, and I'm not a fan of same name tbh.

Headache is already taken by an axebot on Orc's Wars Overclocked, and I'm not a fan of same name tbh. As for the construct, looks pretty neat imo, aside from the front plow, as I think the angled plate should blend with the wheelguards, and the somewhat exposed burst for axe, though that's minor as you at least make it look blend in with the extenderwork around it. I'll also suggest you make the counterweights blend with the rest of the axe shaft. It looks awkward sticking out like that from the shaft. Also, what is the weight and battery amount, just wondering

Let the guy name the robot what he wants. Sickle named a robot Gnaw, you see me complaining?Anyway, Wambo: this is looking pretty good! The very front of the wedge looks a bit too elongated and I'm not sure what the back green bit is but it looks like a decent bot! Only other things I'd suggest is 1. Needs some more defensive wheelguards and 2. Putting the weight of the robot on your splashes would be great too!
When showcasing a bot, it is preferable to show/tell what people can't guess, as in armor, weight, and internals, yes.
