The name says it all and here is mine

1.Disc VS's- Just look destructive
2.Popups- Can do one hit KO amazingly
3.Flippers- Legendary, Probably the most famous type in robot combat
4.Hammers- Rarely used but is still effective
5.Lifters- Look more amazing and Would be my most used type if they put it in this game.

lets see.

1- VS- Loved them ever since I saw Nightmare battle (actually my first Nightmare battle was Nightmare vs Son of Whyachi but whatever) and I've loved them ever since. Flying metal! :D
2- HS- Again, destruction FTW.
3- Flipper- High flyin' action. Gotta love it.
4- Clamp- Whether it's SOB style, Razer style or TAN style, the grab and control method is awesome.
5- Drum- Cooler-looking than VS, but have less spectacular throws and rippy action.

My favorite types differ depending on which game mode I'm playing, but I'll just list my favorite DSL bot types since I can list mine off the top of my head easier:

1. SnS (Has opportunities for strong weaponry as well as hard hits without having to worry much about stability)
2. VS (Powerful weapons and a reliable anti-wedge design, but only if it doesn't use a wedge itself)
3. Rammers/pushers (when done right, superior de-weaponing abilities as well as good, if not excellent defense)
4. HS (Again, powerful weapons, but lower on my list because not as much weight for weapons and (at least with singular HS) they're harder to make stable)
5. Flippers (I don't know why, but it's so satisfying to just throw your opponent around the arena)

Rammer - Usually really fast and hilarious to watch
VS - I like gut-rippers, plus they can get OOTA KOs
Flipper - OOTA KOs are awesome
Popup - For awesome OHKOs
HS - Tend to be unstable and are fun to watch bouncing around the arena

I don't know why so many people like SnS...they're easy to build and are pretty combat effective, but terribly boring to watch in a match. I may be one of the only ones not voting for how fun they are to build/how combat effective they are though. :P

1. Wammers (fun to drive, tend to fair better in combat than rammers)
2. TRFBDs (Obviously because I can brag about how I invented them :P. Jks, it's because they kill popups nicely)
3. Popups (Because I don't suck at them as badly as the others here.)
4. VS (Because they're just so damn fun and crazy)
5. Pokers (because they're underused. I think they're competent and fun to use)
