Stock - VS. IMO is the toughest type to build. Which is why I like 'em. :D

DSL - Poker. Probably one of the least used designs. Haven't had much luck in building decent ones, though. Which is also why I like 'em. XD

Let's see...


DSL- HS/VS/poker hybrid. Quite destructive.

Stock- Poker. I'm sure some of you remember my old bot named Spiker 3.

I dunno about stock, but in DSL I love VSes like Shinigami, as most people have probably noticed. Entertaining and generally destructive. In fact, I made a HS version (SHW) of it today which is awesome...

I just LOVE HS in DSL because with 2 Piglet motors spinning razor tipped tribars you can have your points go up to OVER 9000!

I like watching Antweight (American ones) robots shred each other.

...RA2? Oh! Then Crawlers, VS and SNS.

As every one knows, popups are my forte. But I'm good at building jugglers and VS.

Basically just generally any bot that uses spin motors.

Stock - HS, even though they're generic, there seems to be a variety of ways to build
them.

DSL - SnS, easily, although VSs aren't far behind.

Gut rippers obviously, with a preference for true popups... excepted in lightweights where i favor the rammer builds.

I liked watching Flippers in real life... though because of the damage=points nature of the game it has to be popups.

Also... how the heck do you make a stable hammer bot?
