A prototype juggler/drum bot. Didn't take a inside shot unfortunately. Here are insides stats

One blue snapper which is what the drive and two snowplows are set up on
Two stacked batteries, CB on top of them
DDT wedges
Anchors with green snappers on them. weapons (16 razors) and random battle axes are set up on these
Everything else is visible

One thing I know is that the anchors need to be raised up a notch because the razors barely scrape against the ground. Other than that and the razors' unsymmetrical setup, I don't know.

Creative, but if you want it to be good, you have to widen it.

Not a juggler at all, just an original drum bot.

See those green snappers? He used those. One 20cm pointing one way for the HPZs, and then another for the battle axe.

If it had a little more control to stop bots from going over the top, it could very easily be called a subform of a juggler. The name juggler in itself implies, at least from a robotics standpoint, something that picks up another bot and tosses it around in a controlled state, preventing it from moving away from the damaging weapons. This is what this robot does, regardless of it not being a top spinner. The name "druggler" implies that this bot works like a juggler but instead has the weapons of a drum bot instead of the standard top spinner, hence the subcategory.

Direct quote from the wiki: "The tactic is rushing on the opponent, getting under, and staying under as the small spinners grinds the other bot's undersides.

They are so called due to the "Juggling" effect they create."

Sounds like the same tactic of this bot to me. A juggling drumbot, a druggler.

The wiki states as well that jugglers do have small horizontal spinning weapons...

For me it's just a elevated drum with a wedge, and not a juggler.

And i still don't like "druggler" because that sounds like a juggler on steroids :P

Who wrote that page on the wiki?

Top Spinner is a type of Juggler. So is this bot.

I did... a long time ago.

Juggler = Neglected Waterbug style weapon. NOT a vertical spinner.

If you really want to get technical, according to the wiki a bot like Hunter Killer Tank is a juggler. IMO a juggler is a bot like NWB, a top spinner is like sages one bot, a drum is like Drumblebee, and this is reallly just a vs.

also having the weapons attached like that doesn't make it a drum

Exactly why its a "druggler". I personally propose the splitting into two categories, Juggler (normal), and Vertical Juggler, the less built . Much like the difference between hammer and side hammer.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

New HS/Rammer hybrid. It has 18 maces, 16 static irons, and two razors to hold the bot up. 2 blacks, and DSA. 6 HP Zteks. I think it looks cool.
