I came up with the idea since you don't see that sort of design before.

MW - Frost Viper

Image

Speed: 6
Traction: 5
Armor: 6 (+1 front)
Weapon: 11 (10 lifter and crusher)
Torque: 2

Configuration:
Image

Config Stats:
Speed: 6
Traction: 5
Armor: 9 (+2 front)
Weapon: 8 (7 lifter and crusher)
Torque: 2

This robot is making a voice heard, the cry of the crushers wanting a comeback, and this is the best possible design I can make it as. The front of the machine is very wedgey meaning it can manage to get in underneath any wedge by pressing before contact. it's a pneumatic crusher that works like a short ranged hammer (They don't call him Frost Viper for nothing ;) ).

HW - Dysprosinator

Image

Speed: 7 Traction: 6 Torque: 3 Armour: 12 Weapon: 2

This robot is designed to handle/tank opponents that have a spinning weapon, the robot is 2WD with tank threads for locomotion, also there to prevent the robot from rebounding away from the impact of spinners.

The top armament showing the tracks is covered in Polycarbonate, the rest is metal.

The robot has electric liniar acuators that has a limit of at a few mm of ground clearance of at least 1/4, this will also prevent the drivetrain from being effected since the gap between the arena floor and the chassis itself would be enough to keep the power and locomotion going as normal. The hinged skirts are with angle limiters so they're lifted off the ground with the chassis raised, but contact the ground with the chassis lowered, therefore protecting the tank threads rather well.

The weapon is also electrically powered with a lifiter of up to 120 degrees, it can "only" raise up and even go down. The robot also includes translucent spiked wedges to prevent from being monster truck'ed, maybe catch the opponent from being on top and toppling over it.

HW - Mechalis II

Image

Speed: 6
Traction:5
Weapon:11 (Schrimech 1)
Armour: 7
Torque: 2

Mechalis II is a vastly improved version, it has a schrimech at the back of the machine, the crusher can go down qucikly than usual. Therefore the schrimech can open up quickly. The front of Mechallis has a spike trap where it's there to trap the opponents in order for the crusher to come into play. The robot itself has track thread locomotion in order to prvent rebounding away from spinners and oppoents with spinning bars when on impact.

The srimech seems like it would need to be longer, i.e. coming more towards the front of the bot, to actually flip it back over. Otherwise it might just slide out from underneath the flipped-over bot. Apart from that I really like this!
