I will say it one more time : if you don't have anything constructive to say about a bot, don't post.

About the bottom spinner... IDK if it is a real bottom spinner since it has no feeder wedge, the weapons touch the ground, and others. Also in the BW class you have few gut-rippers, and I see this design mainly design against gut rippers.

Mind you, it is the first time I've done it in a while, and more slight snark than anything truly malevolent, like in the past. I did know when to stop too, so I guess that must count for something. I do realise it now, so I won't do so again.
 
Anyway, about the design itself- I do think it might have some problems when coming up against flippers- without the wedge, any fairly decent BW flipper would be able to turn it over without much trouble.

So ? Unwanted behavior in showcases doesn't gets less unwanted if it's done less. It's like if you find a dog dung on your house's door each week rather than each day.

and more slight snark than anything truly malevolent

I don't see neither snark (by that I imagine you mean sarcasm) neither malevolence in your off topic posts. I see just an off topic post supposed to be comedic, but not bringing anything to the subject. And on the subject of malevolence, yes it isn't, but it takes other things than the lack of ill intent for a post to be good here.

Note that I do tolerate PARTLY off-topic posts, when some part of the post is offtopic and some part is commenting or giving advice on the bot, on topic. When I absolutely must say a joke in showcases, I try to give advice or my opinion on the bot with it.

I did know when to stop too, so I guess that must count for something.

Yes, but the length of the offtopic interruption doesn't matters as much as the fact that it is an offtopic interruption, and the effect it has on the showcase owners and the other people.

I do realise it now, so I won't do so again.

Good.

Now back on topic -

I do think it might have some problems when coming up against flippers- without the wedge, any fairly decent BW flipper would be able to turn it over without much trouble.

Theorically you are right, but who builds BW flippers these days, and what probability does Jonzu's bot has to fight a BW flipper unless he does it on purpose ? Hell I don't remember ever seeing a BW flipper in the showcases.

but who builds BW flippers these days

Problem with that, is in addition to space management because of the size, you also need to get a good flipping arm going.
And... Well..... BWs just aren't really qualified to be that versatile.

Of course, I'm sure someone will post a BW flipper just to prove me wrong, but ehhh....

Next Challenge... BW Bottom Spinner:

Any advice's how I can improve it? 2 pinks btw.

Use an angle motor and make it invertible.  Maybe with the extra 5 kgs you could expand the chassis and use a Nifty to fully power it.

[Jonzu95]

Yeah... tried to make Stock HW Gyro Drill, but didn't go as I expected...

How is it combat wise? Also, use razors to get a few more on.

It's a HS killer. Gets KO'd easily by Popups & Other FS's.

[Mr. AS]

How many irons?

[Jonzu95]

How many irons?

Let's see... 3 x 4 =12...

12 x 2 = 24.. I guess...

[Sage]

So does it kill HS?

[Jonzu95]

Yep.

Why are you using square extenders?

[ty4er]

It only weighs 5kg for the 140cm iirc

Yep. Plus long wedges are best wedges.

[Jonzu95]

That's correct, ty4er

Looking at your latest bot, you could actually mount both HPs on a single Snapper. It would save you like 20-ish weight.
Hell, the chassis even looks like its the right size to even use a Snapper 2(the blue one) in place of the ones you have now, to save even MORE weight.

...I dunno', that's just my idea.

[Jonzu95]

Best MW HS I've ever made!!!

Why that SnapperII attachment point?

So I can add casters.
