Plows have more than 100 HP !Plows are lighter for the same HP, but ramplates deal some damage.
I'm sorry to say that extenders use the default values of the base type 'Component' (the type listed in the text file) which is 100 HP with 15 fracture.In terms of efficiency, weapons are generally the best but here are some numbers and formulas for you to look at:(HP+Fracture)/WeightWeapons: Bear Claw (127.5), Ice Pick(Single) (127.5), Ninja Star (127.5), Pointy Tip (127.5), and Pole Spike (127.5)Wheels: Shiny Hub (35), Rubber (24.71), Mini (24.71), Buzzard (24.71), and SlipperBottom (23.33)Motor/Piston: Reversible Angle Drive (26.25), Redbird (20), Burst/Servo Piston (19.09), Snapper2 Burst Motor (19.09), and Servo Motor 302 (19.09)Component: Round Extender(20cm) (57.5), Emergency Wedge (44.28), Rotator Bar (37.14), Disc(60cm) (34.67), Disc(80cm) (30.59)((10-SizeRank)/10)*(HP+Fracture)/Weight (SizeRank is just the ranking that I gave the component in terms of size (some were close to the same so I repeated numbers))(10 is the number of components that I evaluated)1. Battle Axe (30.6)2. Emergency Wedge (22.14)3. Ramplate (20.8)4. Disc(140cm) (20.35)5. Disc(120cm) (19.81)Personally, I prefer to use battle axes, ramplates, or castors on my bots (depends on the design). Battle Axes are large and can deal more damage than ramplates. Ramplates have the highest fracture (which was poorly represented in the formulas) and can damage components from all sides. Castors are invincible but can't protect the chassis as well as ramplates. On a side note, although snowplows are wide, they have the same HP and Fracture as round extenders (which was its downfall in the latter formula).
Wait. I just checked and ramplates have 1000 HP.But plows share the 'component' base meaning they have 100 HP... but from experience i'm pretty sure they have more than 100 HP :O

So thats why that one has more HP.

Don't think that I'm gonna be a sparkey and not work on that last bot, I just needed to klone something (is it really a Klone?)(Image removed from quote.)
I am 99% sure that a 'hitbox' does not exist.
EDIT: This also adds to the fact how the sword blades only do damage with the dull side, as its hitbox is backward.
