Well, I spent a lot of time in the bot lab trying to come up with something effective and extremely deadly. I prefer high-attack bots rather than rammers or defenders. This is obvious by the bot I'm about to show you.
Obelisk of Terror
Specs:
Drivetrain - 4 Astroflight motors with Small Ant Wheels
Power - 2 PC545 Batteries (Plenty of power) along with 8 Ant Batteries producing a whopping 175.2 Amps (Way overpowered, I know)
Weapon - 150 cm Armored Disk + Spinner shell with 12x 30kg Sledgehammers driven by a single Perm 132 motor.
The Sword on top is for two reasons - I needed to go ahead and finish getting it close to 800, and it acts as a self-righting system. Because of how fast it spins, it usually can right me back over pretty quickly.
Now, based off of the other bots that I have seen posted around here, I'm going to go ahead and point out the obvious flaws...
1. Too much unused space.
2. Way too overpowered
3. Not very realistic
4. Not stable or fast enough to be effective
However, it deals out such a massive amount of damage if used correctly, it's not even funny. Here's a quick battle picture...
Also, I know the name is wrong on the battle picture. Spinning fireman was its old name when I had fireman axes on the blades. It's now Obelisk of Terror, which I feel gets the point across pretty nicely. It's my first bot to be posted here, though definitely not the first one I've made. Any comments and criticisms are welcome, and I'll hopefully continue growing and maturing in my building process.
EDIT: Since I found out that Lock Nut is the standard to compare your bot to, I figured this would be a nice little picture:
I know there's no time showing, that's because I like doing unlimited time, being that you only destroy, not wait for time to run out. I knocked one of his hammers off, which shot him into the air and spinning out of control. I slipped underneath him and took him from about 90% health to 10% in one hit. Knocked the other 2 hammers off on my way to crushing him. Altogether, the time was about 25 seconds.
