DSA?

Yup

Also, maybe wider wedges would help. Not that it would increase its wedginess, but wider wedges would give it an advantage. :D

Tried it with wider wedges, but it didn't seem make a difference.

Anyways here's a middleweight version

The razors are triple stacked ad the armour is DSA.

Turn the attachment of the razors 90 degrees so all of them hit the bot. And if you could shrink the chassis a little more, you could have more protection or razors.

Both bots looking pretty sweet IMO, but on the HW I think you should just remove the castors completely.

On the HW, switch the positions of the DDTs and Snappers so that the Snappers are on the outside. Might help. Remove the 3 casters as they aren't doing anything, and use the weight for something else.

I've been trying to make a horizontal spinner and ended up with this. It's pretty messy and when I spin the motors the whole chassis spins too, making it unbalanced.
How can that be fixed?

I'll just post the insides this time.

Hmmm... try to stack the blacks (you don't really learn how, you just do it. XD). Also, you can put everything on 2 servos. But first, you need to learn how to axle load (check the BB site for the instructions, but use RADs for the loading and just attach the HPZ while loaded, it's much easier that way).

Here's where I get picky, but it's a good thing since you're getting better. You have your servo and that horizontal extender already, right? From there, attach a RAD to where your HPZ should be. Axle load it out, then attach a HPZ on the opposite end of the extender. Axle load it out again, then attach an extender to the bottom attachment point (what extender that would be attached there will be your choice. I haven't tried this setup yet but experimenting is always good when you want to have the drive at the perfect height) for the drive. And axle load it out again, then remove the RAD and attach the HPZ to the last attachment point. You'll have the weight for more that 24 maces. :D

I redid it using snapper II's instead of servo's. The maces are all triple stacked now, but it's even more unstable than the last build.
The armour is plastic.

Almost there. HPZs, invertible and DSA next. And try to stack the blacks.

Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to stack batteries? I just can't seem to figure it out.
