Smoothing the wheel guards in will help with spinners if you have weight etc. The right angle will be easy for them to bite.

I'll see what I can do
Although I'm not sure Wolf-E would be used at events with spinners anyway.
Yeah or even more so. I just realised you may not even want to fight spinners so it doesn't matter. But if you look here on Beta can you see how it's just one smooth continuous angles and shapes? And how anything nasty trying to get at it would sort of deflect rather than chew? If it helps I can sketch something to show you with regards to your robot when I get home.

I see what you mean David, if you can do a sketch that might help a lot more although bare in mind that Wolf-E was designed to me made with HPDE with the top and bottom plates/ wedges made out of hopefully a metal material (depending on weight and cost).
Yeah my robots are made from biscuit tins and chopping boards so I'm not really an expert. But after building naff robots since 2012 you do start to pick bits up here and there. I spose what I mean is you don't need angled wedges, just a robot that's sort of all one shape so it's hard to get a bite on lol.
I see
Demo of the 4 cell lipo battery + 12 volt drive motor set up.
Added the wheels to Wolf-E, by melting a nut into the bore of the wheels, then threaded it onto the shaft of the drill motors.
Not bad for a first go.
