See, it's stuff like this that makes me wish the exchange were still around. I'd love to see their bots and find out how they made awesome HS. Mine tend to get murdered by anything with a wedge or flipper :P

You like flatmotors, don't you? And horizontal spinners, also.

If you haven't stacked batteries then these bots are WAY underpowered. If i remember well, a Dual Perm drains 209 amps. You should need a little more than 10 long black batts, or 8 red battlepacks, or 21 ant batteries (but worthless in that case, use bigger batteries if you have the space) to power one of these monsters.

I grew up watching Hazard, SoW, and Ziggo. I love Horizontal spinners :P

That, and I generally fail at building anything else. Can't make a flipper or drum to save my life. So far I haven't run out of energy which is why I guessed I was overpowered, but I'll try and start stacking in a few more batts from now on.

Well, Anklebiter is a bit cramped, as I went for a super-compact design.  Somehow, I still made it a Heavyweight though. I blame my love for high powered weapons.



Whirligig has plenty of room, and plenty of energy. The extender on top was supposed to be a srimech but it doesn't work as well as I'd hoped D:



And Hellacopter is just decked out. The nut on the side is to remind me where the front is.




As you can see, they're all Heavyweights. I've never been able to make Middle or Light because I always end up adding more and mroe stuff until they turn into these super-heavy beasts.

So, I'm not the greatest bot builder, but I've managed to make a few decent ones


My Heavyweight Full Body Spinner Whirligig versus Dreadnought. As you can see, I removed both his wheels, and his disc was lying somewhere around the arena. I've also had good fights against Nightmare where I literally picked him apart piece by piece :D

Only downside is, Whirligig is a bit unstable. 2 wheels and a Dual Perm-132 for the weapon make for one high-flying bot depending on how my hit goes.


Anklebiter, picking on S3. Uses the Tornado Mer Mag Motor for the hammers. Based off Son of Whyachi obviously


Hellacopter. This thing lives up to it's name by  frequently launching itself high into the air on contact. Useful? No. Amusing. Very.

Feel free to make suggestions on how to improve them, as I know i'm obviously not the best designer :P
