Dark-Al does not understand Ironforge

Right then. For some of you that looked on the discord. I've posted this image of a bot I made. It's not finished but I just need some advice in fixing some of the problems and making a few changes to the bot itself.

besides obviously using all the weight and stuff the bot looks reaaally unstable with the spinner that high up along with it being super narrow. it will never be on its wheels ever.
I personally would add at least slim drive and make that thing have a much bigger footprint to make it more stable.

yeah it needs to be wider, and i'd probably replace the hinged wedges with static stabilizers

this. the hinges will start wobbling and your spinner will hit the ground and unbalance itself.
