Does the spinning shell have to be horizontal, like Ziggo/Typhoon?

If it was upright, it would be a vertical spinner.

Well, this is gonna be boring. Might as well enter, being as there isn't gonna be that much variation.

a shell spinner is a chassis under a shell extender with panels and weapons on the panels, yes?

would you say that's an accurate description for what a shell spinner is?

It's a bloody robot that looks like Ziggo, every Mauler, Typhoon 2, Tuna Can, etc.

So yes.

Well thats just it, I proposed the challenge to see if people can push to make something new... or at least numbers would be high because its not hard to make a generic one :P

I'm predicting an adverse effect.

I'm thinking low entry number due to generic designs.

Maybe 3?

It's more to do with the SHW requirement.  SHW bots lag like a beach on my poor old computer.

Urjak has already done SS Efficiency to death, and you can only do so much to make it look pretty.

As an added incentive to enter.. for the winner Ill work out a prize, to go with the spinner theme.. maybe beta test apocalypse? Or make a team for it?

Ill work something out depending on how far along I am with things :)
