Make your own hammer arm/head? Can give it a nicely shaped arm (see: beta) with a super heavy hammer head and use some counterweights on the other end.

Experiment a bit! Try the horizontal spinning bar option!

Ok, I am thinking about making this bot a Swiss Army bot. I made a poll about it. Vote your opinion.
Edit: It will be a bar HS.

(Sorry for Double Post)
Ok, looking at the 2 people who have voted so far (not including me), a HS was one of the requested features. So here you go.

As you can see, instead of using a Mechavore disc (like many others) I used 2 battle axes. Why? Higher DP and HP, but they weigh more, so they are not used as much.

Also they usually look terrible on a HS

Not gonna lie, that looks hideous.

Same here get a bar with some typhoon teeth or a disc with typhoon teeth or mechavore disc

Ok, Which looks better?

Or

The battleaxe spinner was an interesting concept, ngl. Personally, I mostly just dislike how the weapon motor clips right through the top panel, it's not very IRL and it's certainly not well-protected.

The hammer spinner version looks cool though.

Small question:
Would changing wheel motors still count a bot as swiss army?

Edit: No.

Baconus_Yum · « **Reply #150 on:** December 20, 2016, 06:26:28 PM »

Made some more versions, some not as good as others
A flipper will not be in the final model, it couldn't do anything because it wasn't fast enough.

Sawblade:

Poker:

Drum:

Anyways, out of all 5 I have made, I am keeping the hammer, and I need 2 more. Please vote on which you think are the best. (I also edited the HS to not have the enginer sticking out.)

The sawblade and drum variations lack any form of motor protection which doesn't make it fully IRL while the sawblade and poker have those bad-looking flail axes that really should not belong there in my opinion. I think you should try to create a new 'bot as the few versions of the same robot really haven't been working out for you (apart from the drum, which looks good if I discount the weapon motor problem).

Baconus_Yum · « **Reply #152 on:** December 20, 2016, 06:50:48 PM »

Ok, I have the 3 I am keeping:

I made some edits to the Hammer.

The Hammer is the only one where I have too much weight left over. I could add a support thing for the motor...

You know what, I will do that.

The HS:

As you can see, not a lot of space to work with. At least the motor is better concealed.

And The Drum:

Added the lowest amount of support able to be called a support. As you can see, not a lot of weight to work with.

F1Krazy · « **Reply #153 on:** December 21, 2016, 12:23:28 AM »

Yeah, gotta agree, the drum looks nice, and the HS looks cool as well now that the weapon motor is properly concealed. Not bad.

Baconus_Yum · « **Reply #154 on:** December 22, 2016, 07:48:17 AM »

I need a name for this. It is a LW Drum

Yeaaah, just noticed that they look wrong.

drop the ant and get a better looking support for the drum than the poly extender

Baconus_Yum · « **Reply #158 on:** December 22, 2016, 10:44:20 AM »

Ok, I need a LW idea.
