Exactly 0 of these are the ones I fought online. The bots you were used vs. me were much better :P I like the middle one on the left though.

The middle one on the right looks the best.  Reminiscent of Shebeast.

The middle one to the left would be best, but it has poycarbonate arms, and one hit from a hammer bot (such as Click's entry that is posted on his showcase) could knock one of off, and then, because it is the heavy hammer heads, it would go catastrophic and be uncontrollable. I think that the flipper one would be best because of the new arena.

raw entry. didnt feel like making a nice splash.

pros: spins supernaturally fast. the axles fly out of the motors.
big hits. can get back upright when knocked over.

cons: spins too fast for its own good. sometimes send itself over the wall.

Very nice. It should do very well if the arena walls are not too low if it starts flying.

Have you seen my entrys fixed version in my showcase? Tell me if you accept it now.

Edit: What happened to the first post? I remember seeing some good bots there, but now it reads only: hi

I DON'T want to fight against that thing. How many damage on a regular hit?

...Seing the ton of good bots there is gonna be on RAW, I better stick with a good old popup.

The preview picture vs. MOE looks different.  Which version is final?

In any case, that's an awesome bot.  Like an Inertial Deathlock IV.  Looks like it improves on all of IDIII's weaknesses.

What was the secret in the six bots that used to be there.

Edit: Also, How is Pinball realistic if the axles fly out.

We're already doomed, Somebody. Sage WILL use him.

The axles fly out only if it spins really fast,a matter of centrifugal force, that's what creates the trinity glitch. It's just the game that doesn't block the axles, or the pistons on the second case.

I didn't noticed the walls in your arena. I thought it was enclosed.

new version of Pinball inspired by H@zm47's falcon punch.

4 orange batts :]

Improvements: (from old pinball)
Invertible
bars are segmented (dunno if thats a good thing)
lower ground clearance
seems to spin even faster

:D I thought that design might catch on...

What armor did you use on it? I want to fit 4 orange batts in mine to!

Do you think it's the placement of the wheels that makes it spin faster? I'm trying to figure out what makes falcon punch spin so fast with less batteries...
