I must be missing something?... why is Grog a Vertical Spinner if Deadbeat, Bear and Iceberg, etc all had to be built as Hammers?

I wanted to give some more variety to the field with how many hammers there are in the stock AI. VS felt fitting as the re-stocked Grog was rebuilt as a VS.

Been a while since I did predictions, so here they are:

My Metal Onii-Chan: Seems pretty quick, but weaponry feels a tad light. Could go either way.

Hakuna Katana: ~~wtf s_m~~ Looks dangerous, but I fear the drive may get ripped off easily with it being on stilts.

Danksy Banksy: Doubt this can flip much, as they seem weak. Not to mention, the arms being wide out there in the open, they'll just get sheared off.

Tornado: This is actually kinda dangerous from my testing, but I didn't have very accurate testing since I had to use bots from SCv4 and all that.

Avalanche: Not a whole lot of weaponry and exposed drive. This could spell doom.

Grog, the Big Boned: Seems pretty tough and can toss a lot of bots. Might be worth keeping an eye on this one.

Ronin: I'd worry about the extenders for the drive being out there in the open. Other than that, looks pretty tough.

BEAR: Could probably cause a lot of harm, but if anything gets to it's backside, I don't think this will last long.

DEADBEAT: Another good looking trapper, but still looks pretty fragile. This one could go either way as well.

Freezing Iceberg: Looks like it flop around like a fish, but it could probably take a lot of hits as well with the big chassis. Not sure on how it will do.

~~Jihad~~ john the robbot: Seeing as it's pretty much Emergency with a sexy paintjob, It might be an annoyance and/or a bot that's decent thanks to the arena.

ALARM: Looks pretty tough, but also seems a tad underweaponed.

SaberTooth: Mixed bag here as there is some dangerous weaponry in the front, the drive is unprotected as all hell.

Big Dog: It's as good as a "ByeBot" needs to be and as good as a pusher needs to be.

Overall, mixed bag. Got some entrants that look good, look weird, and entrants that look like hard counters for my entrant. Good luck folks.

Oh okay.. its a little odd to give Grog the free kick while Sage got stuck with mandatory bear claw hammers but hey.. better Sage then me

I think Tornado and Grog are going to be hardwork for a lot of robots, depending on how efficient some of the trapper designs are..

Heh, so the sh**ty way i attached the drive did backfire.
Still disappointing, i thought i had that last match in the bag.
