Well, thats what theyre technically called AJ.

Under Drillzilla in RWE, official guide, it says Driving two banks of feet. That is, indeed, the technical term.

Those special motors in Indisctructable are top secret industrial motors added with a custom-built speed controller gives good power. I dont know how much but Im guessing between 8hp & 18hp. Also it has good traction so it will stick to the ground better then Chaos 2.

Top secret industrial motors? Meh. If you want around 18 HP, just say youre using Lem 130s like Storm 2 and get it over with

Name: Dervish Quatro
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 6mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, with 5mm Lexiguard inside that to protect electronics.
Speed: 18mph
Shape: Invertible cylinder, like Barberous
Weapon 1: Spinning body which spins upwards, so it can flip its opponents.
Strengths: Powerful weaponry and very manouverable
Weaknesses: Poor traction and exposed wheels.
Ground Clearance: 7mm all around
Srimech: Invertible
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 S28-150 MagMotors, giving the robot a top speed of 18mph. The spinning body is made from 6mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, with 5mm Lexiguard inside that. The spinning body has Carbon tipped blades and Grade 5 Titanium blades attached all over it, so it can destroy all matters of armour. The body itself is powered by 2 Etek Motors running at 48v, geared down 5:1. This means the drum spins at approx 4000RPM. This should be enough power to destroy a robot in a matter of seconds.

Name: Wheely Pure Evil (Thanks to Aaron for flipper rams and armour)
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 3mm Aluminium Boron Carbite (slightly heavier than Aluminium, but harder than Tungsten)
Speed: 18mph
Shape: Low invertible wedge
Weapon 1: Top hinged flipper powered by a 120mm pneumatic ram, working at 145psi fixed on top of the robot. At the bottom of the flipper there is a 5mm Grade 5 Titanium wedge extender, designed to get under any ground clearance.
Weapon 2: Top hinged flipper powered by a 120mm pneumatic ram, working at 145psi fixed on the bottom of the robot. At the bottom of the flipper there is a 5mm Grade 5 Titanium wedge extender, designed to get under any ground clearance.
Strengths: Powerful weaponry and tough amrour.
Weaknesses: Exposed wheels on top and limited CO2 on board.
Ground Clearance: 1cm at the back, 0mm on sides due to side skirts and 0mm at front due to flipping plate.
Srimech: Invertible.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 S28-400 MagMotors running at 24v, which give 18mph top speed. The flippers are made from 4mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, and powered by 120mm pneumatic rams working at 145psi. Each flipper can flip roughly 1150kg each. However, due to the flipper set up, the robot can flip roughly 2300kg! The robot has hinged side skirts, to stop robot getting underneath. The skirts are made from 3mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, and are hinged so they run upside down.

Ill back up MORD with Battle Raptor 3:

BATTLE RAPTOR 3
Weight: 100kg
Shape: Low box, painted orange with black stripes like the raptors in Jurassic Park, with a low scoop at the front, with a hammer and a decorative Velociraptor head attached to either side of the scoop (the heads are on the sides of the hammers)
Dimensions: 85 x 50 x 30
Speed: 17mph
Ground Clearance: 0 at front due to scoop, 0 at sides and back due to skirts, 4mm behind skirts
Armour: 5mm titanium; scoop is 3mm titanium
Wheels: 4, inside robot, poke out the top so the robot can run inverted
Power: 24V battery and motors
Weapon: A CO2 powered flipper/axe. The weapon is positioned at the front of the robot, with a 3mm titanium scoop at the end resting on the floor. Two small Beta-style pointed hammers are fixed to the side of the scoop, extending just above it. The weapon fires quickly like an axe, turning 180 degrees to flip anything at the front and axe anything at the back. It then returns to its original position at a slower speed, because it would deform the flipper otherwise.
Srimech: Weapon acts as srimech. If weapon fails in resting position, robot can run inverted because the hammers on the scoop do not extend to the full height of the robot when it is right side up and therefore do not prop it off the floor. It cannot rest on its sides and rear due to the skirts, which flop down when it is inverted.
Tactics: Flip skirtless opponents and axe skirted opponents.
Strengths: Multi purpose weaponry; invertable; fast
Weaknesses: Cannot use weaponry when inverted; wheels vulnerable to axes

Dan, Eteks only do around 3400rpm, so if you gear it 5:1, it would only do 680rpm
