Angled the wheels more forward. Adn now you shall see why I did not angle the wheels, not because I didn't want to, but rather because I can't.

Dont angle them that far forward then, angle them so its just off the floor
If I do so it would be too heavy in the front sending the bot flying. But the problem can be remedied though with a flipper maker to help keep it stable.
Hmmm. I honestly dont know. It would be more stable with one disc if you adjust the ride height, but you do lose a lot of hitting power created by the second disc
If I make it single motor (Like versions two and three) the weight distribution is unbalanced, so the bot keeps veering off to wherever the motor is put. Plus, I want it to be dual discs.

having the wheels at the front is a pretty bad idea in all honesty. it would be much better off if you were to put them at the back and get some static supports (skirts or something of the sort)
That's my HW right there.

All your wedge is doing is keeping other bots from hitting your weapon...
Although I hate to admit that you're right and I would LOVE to just let my opponents run into the discs, that wedge helps keep the bot stable. Without it, it would probably OOTA itself. Also, it provides some defense against flippers, it doesn't exactly win every wedge war, but an advantage is better than no advantage.

angle extenders, you can save more weight, anchors, and unefficient weightwise.
Send me your next bot, I'll fix the extender work for you so you may get what is proper extender work.
What can I do about the angle extenders?
Flipper segments do exactly the same for less kg and more HP, and as they are longer can save you 20cm of extender work.

What can I do about the angle extenders? And what about it is unefficient?

dude your extender work is still doing it wrong
Was it the angle extenders? The reinforcing of the axles? The flipper maker?

I like the newest one. Stick with that.
It's the only version that DOESN'T tilt forward and fly around at the beginning of the fight, and it has a little wedge as a bonus too.

Credits to NFX for the awesome template :)

Would fit the theme perfectly. Go for it. Also, happy birthday.

Settled on the original and made this:  It also has axle supports as well as a little flipper maker to make it stable.  Insides:

Alright, ATM I have three versions of SoH. And I'm having trouble deciding which would be best to keep. This is the original version:    It has trouble self righting. But it is much more stable than version two. The second version:   Better motor? I really can't see the pros in choosing this one. The latest version:   This version also comes with reinforced axles, a feature the previous to versions lacked.   Motor speed is slightly faster than the perm.

Where the  has all your weight gone, lol.
Even if you can't add those bits, I wouldn't call this IRL until some of those flaws are addressed. Scale back some of the other stuff you have to upgrade the axle support at least.
With IRL building it should never be about creating the most deadly machine, it should be about making something effective but also FULLY possible in real life, not possible-if-you-changed-this-and-this.
Aesthetics 1st
Effectiveness 2nd.
Nary told me to nerf down the axles. And all the weight has gone to the back of the bot where around a dozen ants are there. I can't remove even one of them because If I do the front end of the bot will be too heavy and it'll just flip itself right from the beginning.

Why don't you take a multi extender, mount it on the left side of the hole you've created for a weapon slot, and mount an extender off that? That should give you weight for aluminum at least.
IMO its skin is pretty boring too.
That's what i did. I mounted the poly off the left side.

Honestly I'd upgrade those Poly supports to some kind of metal because if that was real, that poly would just snap under the pressure.
Also if you have any weight left work on some motor guards and armour around your leg struts.
As it stands, it's at 397.5KG. Definitely not enough spare weight to add any of those items.

Naryar still has no idea how to build IRL. :P
Yeah keep the supports and angle the wheels forward a little. You shouldn't need as many batteries then.
I can't angle it anymore forward, the disc would keep hitting the ground making the bot even more unstable.
