Ps. Shout out to Mazakari for the disc skin (downloaded his bot dump and inherited some skins)

The Mole and Tiger Beat look great. Are you gonna skin the disc on the mole like you did with Tortuga? I agree with Badger on Xtremely Average. The legs look super thin, and could probably do with beefing up a little bit. Lil Fen is a solid concept but it's a little too..tall for my personal tastes. I don't think it needs to be changed though.
Thanks all for the compliments. All of these are still basically concepts in progress. XA is just going for biggest discs possible, needs lots of stability work. Mole is Tor2uga but trying to mix in pieces from the balance patch (also swapping weapon power for drive at this stage). Fen and TB are the same chasis, drive, etc, just flipped. Fen has several different setups at this point, none of them just feel like the perfect fit. TB I just wanted to make a gut ripping drum, now if could just self-right.

The legs on Xtremely average look very thin and flimsy. Apart from that, looks good.
Oh they are. Even angled outward it's hard to prevent quick removal by spinners. Probably gonna try to shorten them as much is functionally possible in the future. The robots are cool, but what is BvW2?
Black vs White 2 (or whatever the kids are calling it these days). An IRLish tournament of smacktalk and tomfoolery.

I'd suggest leaving weight for ballasts. From my experience building VSs, that lower weight adds a lot to stability

Haven't had a ton of time to build lately. Here are a few new MWs, mostly just mods on old bots and chasis.  Mole and Xtremely Average submitted to BvW2, Lil Fen intended for TGM's father/son tourney, and Tiger Beat just finished a few minutes ago.

On the CW vs, I'd go ahead and raise the chasis height to be flush with the plows and also cover the perm motor.

Digging Jungle Flip the most

I'm digging the chasis and paint job, but agreed with roboteer about the hub. Sledges look a little out of place too. Might consider trying a custom beater bar hammer setup. Doing a downward angle split in the bars

Are re-entries allowed? Cause I have a HW in Helloface's tourney that already has a mw mini.

If you made it a normal bot instead of an extenderbot, you could free up a ton of weight while also being able to give it a cool skin. I like it though, maybe make the front wedge thinner to align with the chassis better
Yeah I'm just going a bit mental with extenderbots lately for some reason. Wedge was supposed to be a kind of plow thing, but you may be right that it would look better the same width as the bot. I'll give it a go and see how it looks.
That's how I got with extenders up until BBS tanked in BvsW. Still tons of fun to build, I've found it a useful way to kinda just stick everything together until I get a eureka moment. I also started going back and building regular frame clone bots with the dimensions of my extenders, then using the extra weight to supe them up.

Bonus points if someone enters an AW cluster to finish it off.

Maybe place a limit on captains repeatedly sending one bot (ex. paladin killing everyone but Hitler)

Aww darn, Loggerhead throwing the victory away by Mauler dancing. Back to the drawing board.

I like the pops of orange extender on the bar, but I think it needs more to complete the look

Is murderbox running just a flat motor for the drum or something else?

Hyper-Realistic Blood needs to calm down.
Actually no it doesn't, it needs to avenge its fallen comrade in the next match.
