Why did your mind go "I want to make a double dual-perm face spinner"?

It didn't. It just...happened.

It does look insane, like a kinda "Ultimate Chicken" sort of thing, but how compat effective would that actually be?

I've not tested it vs SHW's yet.

lol nidhogg

Looks pretty good, though that wedge doesn't looks like it will do the bot a lot of good...

Well most wedged SHWs have double wedges and they are on average longer, so your spinners will be on top of your wedges before you can stick yours under their chassis.

In which case, any chance of getting it invertible then?

a picture of a ghost I found in DSL BBEANS AI

I don't remember putting any pictures of ghosts in there.  Heck, I don't remember ever HAVING any pictures of ghosts.

Here's a new bot. Hammer meant to totally bypass stuff at front and go for vulnerable rear of the top which I've found on quite a lot of bots. Unfortunately, this proto is disproportionate and falls over if it really turns at all, and I could have probably made a nice chassis too, this one is a touch too long.

Just made a similar bot actually, with a Heavy plow and less drive/weapons.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Looks quite good, I reckon. Should be excellent with a bit of tweaking. If the poly and titanium extenders were swapped, would that allow the weapons to last longer?

Why not 2 aluminiums instead of poly+titanium?
