I can easily enter tonight, but I would just like clarification on one thing.

Would a passive weapon like a thwack axe require any points in weaponry, even though the power for the weapon is in the drive? I ask because I see Kody has given BlackRose 1 point, due to the must be one point in every category rule.

Good point, Lewis.

Yeah, a thwackbot's Weaponry would need points for it to properly damage other bots. It's quite possible for a thwackbot to have great speed and yet have a ineffective weapon. Remember Atilla the Drum? BlackRose's Weaponry stat refers more to its various spikes and serrated edges than the damage it causes from ramming.

To everyone else, if you can have everything in by Sundayish, that'd be awesome.

Team Mechanical Menagerie

Lightweight
--

NAME: Hit 'em Harder
SHAPE: You can see it in the CAD really. Two heavy wedges hinged on the drive axis with a thwack axe in between. All the components are contained inside the silver drum visible at the rear, as it is an axlebot.
WEAPONRY: The robot uses it's thwack hammer to hit robots both horizontally and vertically, and the wedges to get underneath opponents and push them around.
SRIMECH: HeH is entirely invertible; it works exactly the same when flipped. The side spikes prevent strandings.
LOCOMOTION: The two large wheels at the rear.
APPEARANCE: See pic. Dark blue with the name written on the two front wedges

WEAPONRY: 2
SPEED: 3
ARMOUR: 3
TRACTION: 4
MANOEUVRABILITY: 3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heavyweight
--

NAME: Equinox
SHAPE: Box with 30* wedge at the front and angled rear ala Tornado like >. Sides are 45* to deflect spinners. Skirts at the sides and rear. Running along the top of the robot are two sets of Mute-style tungsten carbide barbs to trap opponents.
WEAPONRY: Running down the front wedge and flat along the floor are two 60cm long lifting forks. They activate in unison and raise to almost vertical. Also hinged at the rear of the robot is a 95cm long clamping arm with a serrated tungsten tooth at the end of it. It is usually raised to vertical and then used to clamp opponents in place, can be used in unison with the lifting forks and barbs to good effect.
SRIMECH: The clamping arm can right the robot because it has a large hardox fin towards the rear half that allows it to self-right over the rear skirt.
LOCOMOTION: 4 x internal wheels, each is 80mm in diameter and has vulkalon tyres for grip. They are mounted on a slant ala Tazbot for extra control. Instead of one in each corner they are mounted at the rear and middle of the machine, with two ball castors in the two front corners. This gives very good manouevrability, allowing Equinox to really glide around the arena like Panic Attack.
APPEARANCE: Dark blue with yellow forks and clamping arm

WEAPONRY: 2 (1 for forks, 1 for clamping arm)
SPEED: 4
ARMOUR: 6
TRACTION: 5
MANOEUVRABILITY: 8

Hope that's all okay

Lightweight

Name: Pendulum
Shape: Two large cylindrical wheels with an axle between them. Extending from the axle is the main weapon.
Weaponry: A swinging kinetic hammer weapon that works just like other axlebots, such as Stinger and The Saint. It can attack by swinging the hammer overhead or spinning around on the spot.
Srimech: Due to its axlebot nature, it is very hard to flip at all and always lands on its wheels. Side spikes prevent it resting flat on its side.
Locomotion: Two large cylindrical wheels.
Appearance: Grey side spikes, axle and weapon arm, with turquoise wheel hubs and weaponry spikes. The black around the wheels is urethane rubber.

Weaponry: 3
Speed: 4
Armour: 3
Traction: 1
Manoeuvrability: 4

Heavyweight

Name: Wedga: EXP
Shape: Similar to the Series 3 robot Steg-O-Saw-Us. A box-wedge shape with a scoop-styled wedge at the front and an angled rear end. The sides are protected by hinged skirts.
Weaponry: A rear-hinged pneumatic flipper that runs across the top and down the front of the robot, including the front scoop.
Srimech: The flipper is used to right the robot if it gets flipped over. The side skirts help to prevent it getting stranded on its sides.
Locomotion: Four inner wheels.
Appearance: Grey body with turquoise skirts and flipper.

Weaponry: 6
Speed: 4
Armour: 5
Traction: 6
Manoeuvrability: 4
