Decided to lurk your showcase.
After 4-ish years, you came back, and are still as amazing as ever.
That walker is likely my favorite design of yours.

wow thanks =w=)
i'm not amazing at all, i'm still improving
actually here's my newest walker, and i'm quite proud of this one (=w=







the wheel act as a stabilizer and useful for turning the bot to the left and to the right.
it couldn't be used for driving at all, and that's not the reason i put the wheel there anyway.

This would happen if i tried to drive forward


.... I couldn't meet the deadline for next month's BOTM... maybe better luck next time

That's insanely clever! Is there a video for it?

i want to make one, but i need to download a free video capture soft first
and I've forgotten the password for my old YT account ('-' (.-.

*edit
here's an updated Axehead


While it looks pretty cool, it is also unstable and heavy. i plan to remake the whole bot ('-'

That, and it should be 4WD HPZ (you could afford it by turning most if not all of the maces to razors). Also, turn your Snapper2s around so the wedge stance is wider.

BBEANS 6 - Infection 4 (Runner-Up)
RA2 Team Championships - Serious Business, Skeksis (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, and Badnik)
RA2 Team Championships 2 - The Other Stig (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, Badnik, 090901, and R1885)

Using a razors in this case is "a must".
Yeah, make the wedges wider, but also rotate the plows from /^\ to \^/
Make it a 4WD with HPs.
If you have any weight left, put some more front protection, add static ramplates on anchors in the front in the addition to the current one, or spam the front with b. casters.
Consider adding a plow in the back to keep your enemy on your bot, like in NWB and RPB.
