You don't need that nub at the front of your chassis. Six sides is enough for the setup that you have.
Also, your motors are sticking too far out. Just use a simple T-extender instead of that weird asymmetrical setup.
You also have the option to switch to 3 razors per arm instead of 2 maces, but that's entirely up to you. Otherwise, just stick in another plow.

This is pretty much the only one I have right now. I might have done more back then but I don't have the time to rebuild them all after a hard drive wipe.

Also it seems like you have a habit of placing your batteries in front of the drive.
This is especially bad for spinners (and much, much worse for single HSes) since the weapons protect the bot better than the plow. If it pushes a bot away, it leaves your wheels open to attack. Just place your battery in between your drive and it will be more protected and even steers better.

Give it lighter armour, then raise the chassis up so the panels align. You could even make the chassis wedged too since you're not using much of the front space, that would free up some weight for more embellishments.

If it's wobbly, ditch the Snapper IIs and attach the motors on anchors instead. Place them a bit more forward so you don't have to use the flippers.
Also it seems like you have a habit of placing your batteries in front of the drive. If you can stack the blacks, you can get away with a smaller chassis with the blacks placed between the drive motors instead.

One of the more overlooked things in building LWs and MWs is pushing it to the weight limit. While the build is clean, it performs so much better with a shallower chassis. Make a copy of the bot, remove everything, and take note of the chassis weight. You could rebuild it to have a longer base (with the same top) and have it weigh ~3 kg heavier. This improves both the combat ability, and survivability of the bot.
Liking the progress you've been making so far.

mmmmm yessss
that's as good as that kind of design gets, although irons might be better (unless they touch the ground or something)

No shame in using T or Y connectors if it makes the bot symmetrical (and is lighter than your setup too). Not sure why the chassis seems long. I'm assuming the plow is on an anchor, so my advice would be to attach it to the snapper's hidden attachment point instead (2 20cms would be ideal). This pulls the plow into the casters, which maximizes protection.
And as always, tighten up your chassis. Move the redbirds closer to the snapper and get rid of the space around them. If you can stack the CB into the black, you can also lower the chassis down to the height of the black.
With a lot of weight freed, there's multiple ways to finish the bot. You could add more weapons to the spinners (might have to turn them to razors though), add weapon rack alongside the plow and casters (you might be able to afford 4 maces/irons or 6 razors), or just dump more plows and stuff.

Tip for round extenders - zoom in close and you'll notice they're hexagonal cylinders. You could either keep track of the rotation while zoomed in or you could download some skin pack that adds a marker to the extender.

Use 0-degree anchors instead of the 90-degree anchors you got there. You'll pull that plow placement off with an 80cm and a 20cm so maybe you could use the free weight to center the wedge.

There's no shame in using T-connectors, man. Although you could move the brackets to the sides and have a plow on top with your spare weight.

wat how is that bad against hs
might as well mount the motors onto the wedge snappers and see if that works

It's probably because of the extra razor on the DDT, so that's 9 more kg it has to swing. It should be just as fast as a Snapper2 if it only has 4-5 razors.
sweet stack btw

The DDTs are fine. You should ditch the mace for other stuff though, like longer arms and wedges.

You're using grannies anyway, so that shouldn't matter. Try mounting an extender on the middle of the snapper (with the 2 APs facing up), then another extender parallel and on top of it, then a T connector going down from that extender. That might be low enough for shinies.

Alright that looks like a bad idea so you should either revert to a static drive or find another way to mount the drive onto the snapper (maybe try mounting it on the top arm instead?).

It depends on whether you want to stick to the non-invertible weapon setup, and if you want the drive to remain static or not.
Either way, you should try to stack the CB into the battery and you could mount the plow on the extender holding the bottom motor. If you want the drive to remain static, you wouldn't be able to shrink the chassis by much although you might have enough weight for 2 static razors or something.
If you want to mount the drive onto the snapper, maybe have a T-connector go down from the top extender (although I'm not sure if that would be invertible). If you do manage to pull this off, you can have a much smaller chassis and still have enough weight for casters and such.
