Well, you've certainly headed in the right direction. First of all, purple batteries are almost always a no-no on anything LW and above. Additionally, granny wheels shouldn't be necessary to make that bot invertible. The collision mesh of all wheels is actually bigger than what you see. Shiny hub wheels should do the trick, and they are the lightest wheel available.

Those wedges on Nomer are a bit pointless if the spikes come out further than they do. Oh, and never use Spike Strips.

Two blacks is the most you should be using to power this. Also if you put more than one wedge on a snapper, they're not going to be very good, so either go for s single wedge or tweak the chassis to add another wedge motor in there for a double wedge. Finally, the T-Connector for the ramming rack should definitely be able to be attached directly to the anchor, rather than needing a 20cm pushing it out.

Not bad for a newcomer. :D
Looks like you know what drive to use. As Kill said, use shinies and grannies if the bot isn't invertible with shinies. Rubbers are good, too.
The best weapons are razors, irons and maces. You'll almost always want to use these.
Pink batteries are almost useless on anything over a lightweight. You'll want to use blacks to power your heavyweights (1 black can power 4 HP Z-teks).
Keep it up and stick around! :D

Thanks for all the comments, improvements have been made:
797.4 Kg. Much better but no longer invertible (had to rotate snowplows to get it to run right-side up).

you might want to lighten up the extender work holding the plows and reduce empty space (turn off the snap to grid feature)
also blood made me want to stab my eyes out with a razor tip

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Soo much better, now look into stacking those black batteries and reducing the chassis height to free up some weight for weapons and re-establish invertibility.

An HP-Ztek only needs the chassis to be 5 "notches" up. If you move the height slider slowly and carefully you can move up one notch at a time. :)

Besides the fact that it's underweight, it's pretty good. Get rid of the side razors and use 2 DDTs instead of one. How are the wedges?

more like a hammer with a short reach
popups actually need bots to go up the wedge and have razors come out from a concealed location (as in inside the chassis)

drop down to 4-6 razors and add more armor. I would stick with one ddt and see if you could get another black in there.

Update:
Does a much better job of getting itself underneath opponents vs just getting its wedges under.

The DDT is a bit far back. You could mount the ramplates on individual baseplate anchors to the sides and bring it forward, or just mount the plates on the wedge extenders.
Otherwise it looks cool. You have a chip of extra weight so just lengthen the wedges by 20cm.

no dont use a t connector use round extenders like this -

ddt
will use less weight and (theoretically) does more damage, AND you might get enough weight for another razor
and yea just use 2 ba's and attach the ramplates directly to them
