I remember it saying in the book how Hexadecimator's teem dropped a 60-pound spiked ball on different armors to see which one was best.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

If i sit/stand on Hunter we might have to go to another design...
When it comes round to testing, i'll see if i can borrow my old schools playground as a testing area.
Damn I should probably put something fancy in this bit huh?

Guess who's back.
The plans have changed. The new configuration calls for an invertible horizontal spinner.
Why the change? Considering how new I am to the sport, having to basically rebuild the machine after every match makes the FBS a bad choice for me.
The new design will use ONE overvolted S-400 to spin a 20 lb. aluminum/steel disc. Four-wheel drive will be provided by a pair of 3 HP S-150s. The rear will have an interchangeable wedge/bumper. The bumper, used against spinners, will be mounted on a pair of springs, so that while the robot will not absorb the hits as rammers do, the impact will hopefully bounce FBS's into the wall. I don't want to risk busting the internals.
All in all, it will resemble the bastard child of MOE and Mechavore.
God willing, you'll see me in Battlebots this April.
