I can tell you've been lurking, and it definitely showing. Nice first bot.
HP Zteks are twice as powerful as regular ones for just 5Kgs more each, so 4WD here is a waste of weight. Try putting on some more weapons with the weight you get back from 2WD and a smaller chassis. Honestly I kinda doubt the usefulness of the wedge too since this is a rammer, but I'll leave that up to you, since there are occasionally good rammers with wedges.

Tried out a 2WD version and found the bot was veering a lot. Don't know why.

All HP Z-teks now, raised the weapons up a bit and added more with the weight (razors and pole spikes to keep it a MW)
398.6kg still

Veering is determined by weight distribution when you put the wheels on. As in, if you put the wheels on when the bot is not evenly balanced and then proceed to make it evenly balanced later on, it'll still veer.
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.

Or the veering could be caused by placing the motors too far apart from each other in terms of being parralel from each other.

Oh the bot looks to be a great rammer. Off to a good start so far in terms of building.

Love the skin.

Pole spikes only deal damage with the tip so they probably don't work very well on the end of weapon racks.
