[death robotics]

this will want you to push your bot to success

I'll just assume that Pants was the one out.

Anyways, attack Variant. If I did that much damage to it in round 1, attacking it again should be a good idea.

[team_orr]

woah woah woah!variant has a spinner!

btw anticide is a pneumaticly powered flipper that has one the last 3 aws's

[death robotics]

sorry jack but the stats on rr say that it has interchangable weaponry so from now on itll be a spinner

[corsair_lightning]

Hmm... My tactics depend on whether Variant is a vertical or Horizontal spinner.

If it's a vertical spinner, go after it. Many have tried, but few have succeeded in making a good vertical spinner, so I'll use my superior agility to get around to the side and tear it to shreds. Hit anyone who interferes with me destroying him with the disc to scare them off, then go back and continue killing Variant.

If it's a horizontal spinner, then go after Combat-Ant. Attack the robot from the side with my vertical spinning disc, and try to rip off those wheels. If he tries to use his disc on me, hit the disc with mine and rip it off. Try to immobilize Combat-Ant as quick as possible.

My tactics... Go after No Idea and shred its tracks, avoiding Nano-Nightmare at all costs.

flamberge/kody
variant/jack
pod 2:
no idea/leo
combat ant/helloher

3....2...1... ACTIVATE

variant spins up and charges at combat ant and sends it flying across the arena as nano batters variant from behind
now no idea slams variant against the wall, now flamberge smashes combat ant so hard it rips the rear disc off of
combat ant and is flung onto the flipper and is now on one wheels as variant whirrs up the disc to full speed and WHACK
there goes combat ant across the arena again as no idea now rams nano into the mini pulverizer, but it cause no
damage as no idea turns its attention towards combat ant and powerslams it against the wall as flamberge slams into
variant which retaliates sending showers off sparks across the arena now no idea hits the pit release as nano slams into
combat ant and now it cant move, as variant comes in and tears off a wheel now nano takes on flamberge as no idea
puts combat ant on the flipper and is now tossed across the arena 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
CEASE

More vertical spinners have won the AWS than horizontal ones.

I based that statement on something Jim Smentowski(inventor of the vertical spinner) said:

At Battlebots 2.0, many people brought vertical spinners that were completely self-destructive. They didn't realize there was more to it the putting a disc with teeth between 2 prongs and spinning it up real fast.

[joey_picus]

Technology and advances in antweight design have moved on a hell of a lot since then :P at the last AWS there were at least five vertical spinners, none of which self destructed and several of which did an awful lot of damage, as well as loads of horizontal spinners (Little Yellow Taxi among them ) and one full body spinner even, none of which did any major damage to themselves (although a few blades zinged off and Mutant was its usual happy unstable self)
