Not bad.

All razors for weapons, getting rid of that snowplow, frontal caster armor and 4WD HP Ztek drive would help your HW well.

where to put the extra 2 zteks though?

make a new chassis.

as for the mw, put a 45 degree baseplate anchor inbetween the ddts and attach a ramplate for frontal protect. it helps a lot, and you have the weight.

Your caster armored popup's wedge is too steep IMO.

I was thinking of something like that:

Of course you won't be able to put that many casters... maybe more side casters (anti HS thing)

Wait... Is that Ultimatum getting pwned? If so, i can actually put up a decent bot for BBEANS5 then...

mw looks good. HW needs little more work, but its getting there. can you stack blacks? thats one thing you should work on. cause the HW need more battery. redo the chassis and make the wedge much steeper, the way it is not much will slide up. try to strighten out the castors, and put more on for more prtoection. or do the ramplate thing you did on your MW. also try to make your chassis as small as possible. (make it skinnier)

thats all for now.

just keep trying. few tips:

place the first batt and then go to the chassis tab. zoom in all the way, go back to the components tab, AND WITHOUT TOUCHING the black square, attach another black batt. this wll give you more pixels to move around in when trying to stack.

next tip is to rotate every few minutes or so. it helps, believe me.

move the black slowly, barely moving your mouse at all.
