They could be designed to take off wedges, as click said he did have a foolproof plan for beating wedges

I believe the spikes may be to cause damage to wedges that get underneath it in some way. I also have a suspicion that they are attached to a piston.
That's what I believe.
And Nar, incase you didn't notice the rammer has wheels rotated in on the inside, just like tribute.
It's heavily armoured yes, but it's probably got a nice amount of speed for it.

And how can such a design be effectively hybrided as a rammer ? It's quite slow as far as the drive goes.
OK, "pusher"/"Pushed"
Better than GK since 2009.

You cannot possibly push something with a huge-ass spinning mass above your robot, that will probably not fall completely before 3 minutes...

First of all

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I just HAD to fight Scrap in Round 1. Maybe I'll get lucky...

But then again, I just entered for the total lulz. So whatever.

GRW: Meh. Spinners are just reducing wedge effectiveness.
DSC:Looks cool but too fast for its own good.
CUDA: Might win a match here
Scrap:Will beat me, that's for sure...
Enigma: Tiny compared to everything else but not that bad.
LLB:Will outweapon a lot. Dunno about how fast those disks are though...
Somebody: One of the many flippers here. Shall go far.
Scorpion: The rammer is way too fast and the hybrid is just WTF.
Hydro: A total tank. Will win some fights on sheer weaponry.
Click: I guess Hide chases the other bot into Seek? I had an idea like that a few days ago... If it works, this will be a tough competitor. Even if not, should beat a lot.
GK: Average.
S_M: Better than my thing. May go well.
Me: Besides just building this for the lulz, it's probably the slowest bot here (4WD NPCF with Vlads). God, my bot sucks here.
SSG: Besides the EPIC WIN of the bots, it isn't bad in its own right.
THE GODDAMN NARYAR: Fast and thorny. Should go far.
FOTEPX: Props for entering something that doesn't use Beta's for once.
MM:The poopup will die fast, but the VS is just pure victory.
J24: An EFIE clone and a f(l)ail shell spinner. Erm, might win a fight or two..
Stagfish: Besides the hilarious flying cube thing, we have the biggest bot in the tourney. The exposed tops of some bots will give it some wins.
NFX: ZOMFGQZ 16 WHEEL DRIVE?! either an epic suicide or a great victory will come from this.
SKBT:Not bad, but not too good either.
123: Will go far.
Yoda: a drum and a hammer? Not the best hybrid combo...
Vertigo: Besides that flaw that Somebody posted, should go far.

I'm doubting it'll only affect Vertigo's bot.

GRW: Meh. Spinners are just reducing wedge effectiveness.
It should not most weight is to the front and the blade was built for sneak attacks to the back.

It's awful anyways. You made absolutely NO progress since 1001 problems !

1002 Problems is basically a bigger 1001 Problems. Same strengths, if any, and same weaknesses.
 
VS's tend to wreck wedges, though. And if you use a wedge as a flipper, that also seems to make it worse, in my experience. If you want to fend off rear attacks, try a hammer or something for defense (I have 3  :gawe: ), and focus your weaponry towards the front. Your bot always turns to face its opponent under AI conditions.

Its funny how, out of all the multibots, (of which there are a lot (FFUUU)) only 6 people could be bothered to make them interesting and send in 2 different bots

Lazy people

YAY, I'm interesting.

I wish i'd put more efforts in those bots now though.
Fatal tragedy had a fair bit of effort put into it, but wasn't updated much at all.
And tribute? Well there's a reason it's version 1.5 and not a fully fledged 2  :(

I'm actually annoyed that you put more wheels on your bot than I did. I wanted that title. But at least my bot will smush it with its superior weaponry. =D

And its inability to slam a wedge on a lip and frontflip OOTA :P

Lol, well there's two of my bot, and only one of yours  :p

When we meet in the final, I;m gonna turn you into a scotch egg  :evilsmile:

or more likely both our bots go flying out of the arena in the first round ;P

Yes, that too. I just hope SKBT doesn't hammer me into submission too quickly in our first round match. Hopefully he'll take a wheel or two off before he gets to the chassis. Another advantage of my 16 Wheel Drive, chassis protection. =D
