*enters Mark mode* I think you need to replace the hardox with some Aluminium armour, replace the motors with some bosch 750s and replace the wheels for tracks
remove the weaknesses and you will be fine
Eddie Izzhard: You havent made it clear that the flippers rear hinged :P and thick black outlines arent going to show up on a black background, otherwise good.
Poison: I cant quite see the point in gearing in a crusher system, and the description of the shape looks like you wrote it when you were on drugs :P Again, otherwise good.
With Poison, I wasnt on drugs, just very powerful E-Numbers
IZZHARD: you really need to lose at least 2 tanks, you cant fit them in a tight space like that. Storm II uses the same motors and it hauls 10kg worth of battery for 36V so you pushing it weightwise. 4cm Vulkanized rubber in the inside is way too much (that is also the case for Poison).
POISON
Looks ok at first glance. You will need a lot of batteries for that so its a tight fit.
What about Marwolaeth Dau?

Looks ok, if a little basic. Im assuming the shape is like a cross of Supernova and 13 Black?
The length and width are off. If youre going to have two discs, increase the length or decrease the width.
(apologies to the entire world for continually asking these rather bizarre questions :P)
Would it be possible to get an active spike weapon to do some damage if:
1) you had a Splinter-style mechanism for holding the opponent in place to reduce the Newtonian reaction
2) you had a REALLY large spring on the spike, and cocked it with hydraulics
3) you made the tip of the blade sharp enough that the pressure would be enough to go through most armours. (Im thinking medium thickness Ti, possibly even Hardox here)
Im aware that after the first two shots or so the chassis would bend and the power would be reduced significantly, but Im thinking of one hit KO weapons, (besides, this is vapourbots)
the thing with REALLY sharp spikes is that they break easy :P
splinter-style arms CERTAINLY help, and for point 2, well, you can make everything work as long as you have enough power right? :wink:
The thing is, to penetrate a surface of 1cm x 1cm 4mm thick Hardox 450 (thats the most common Hardox variety) you will need over 12 tonnes of force. If you clamp your robot onto an opponent with Splinterlike arms with forces like that you will just buckle the arms.
