Yeah go ahead post any battleshots which you like to. It would be nice to see some of those because that looks quite powerful opponent.

Looks nice... but one of the teeth is on backwards :o You're not going to do any damage hitting with the smooth side. Switch that around.

Also it looks like the chassis could be shorter. A smaller chassis means more weight for weapons and armor.

Nice quad-post, burnbotics.
To the actual showcaser: Pretty good, how long have you been building? I would suggest adding some armor on the sides if you have the room for some mounts on the inside. If not, you could leapfrog it on the outside, at the risk of all of it falling off when the parent is hit. Also, unless you want to make a more mobile spinner, try getting rid of the extra pair of drive motors and beefing up your spinner. Mabye get rid of some batteries too, a single orange should suffice for that particular config.
