The first one was better I think.  You need some sort of V-shape to hold HS's and hammer their tops, and the side not-hammers on the first version look like they would work beautifully.  The side plows on the second version won't do a bit of good when the extenders holding them on are exposed right in the front.

The wedges and hammer extender guards are an improvement, but the wedges need to be a bit longer to be effective.  Try using a less convoluted way of attaching them.

And you can use shiny hub wheels instead of rubber wheels to get weight for that stuff.  A bot like that doesn't need zero ground clearance, and I showed in the Mythbusters thread that rubber wheels only give you a very minimal advantage over shiny hubs.

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

I like rubber wheels cause they look sleeker. And they are grippier. Bots with rubber wheels don't slide as much as shinies. That's another thing you could do in your RA2 mythbuster thing Click. Which wheels have the best grip.

You guys are just ruining poor Duck's showcase.

Can someone make a PENIS THREAD in the chatterbox and move all that sh** there?

I don't know about you, but when i showcase a bot, I like to actually show it. Like in a trophy showcase, you don't put a picture of the game up, you put the trophy.
