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

[ACAMS]

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

[Merrick]

Shell spinners?

How enthralling....

[AlexGRFan97]

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

[Kossokei]

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?

[Probably Rob]

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?

[Resetti's Replicas]

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.

[Meganerdbomb]

Actually, I might have an idea for this.

[SKBT]

This month will be DSL Superheavyweight (1200kgs)

which dsl are we using for this?

[JoeBlo]

In the pm I sent to acams I specified 2.1 if that helps any?

Although me may have changed to just either dsl

[ACAMS]

Time is running out

[JoeBlo]

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 :)
