So yeah, here are my bots (some still in development).
Note: All my bots are references to something, I'l just put the reference in Brackets
Lightweights:
<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">
AR9
4wd Ring spinner. Invertable.
The black speaker inside the "9" plays "The Big Black" on repeat, but has no other effect.
Originally was 2wd and had a skirt around the bottom, but have since shortened it, swapped to 4wd and removed the skirt.
Was made for Backlash before I realised how impractical it is.
Stats
Speed: 9
Traction: 4
Torque: 3
Armour: 5
Weapon: 9
Electric Angel
Was a bar spinner, but said screw it and changed it to a rammer.
Stats
Speed: 8
Traction: 6
Torque: 6
Armour: 10 (+ 1 to front white part)
Weapon: 0
Tidal Wave
Drum spinner. 2wd set as close as possible to the edges without being outside the bot. The bot is wide to try to reduce gyro from the spinning drum.
Stats
Speed: 6
Traction: 3
Torque: 1
Armour: 7
Weapon: 13

Dead Ringer
Shell spinner, was a CAD project for my college course. Has a welded tube interior, but most of the files have been lost so I need to remake it.
Stats Undecided.
Remi
Remi has a 40lb 3-toothed drum spinner at the front, with tank tread drive and sides angled at 15 degrees. The robot is completely invertable. 2 of the two teeth of the drum are sharp, designed to pierce and rip up opponents. The third tooth is blunt, which allows the drum to fling bots upwards, possibly onto their sides. Of course, once the weapon is spinning, its near impossible to tell which tooth will hit. Hinged plow at the back in case of spinner. The sides feature sacrificial rubber armour bolted on to the bot.
Stats:
Speed: 5
Traction: 2
Torque: 2
Armour: 9 (+2 to Rear plow)
Weapon: 12

Uppercut V0.5
First Fantasy RP Battlebot I made knowing I would enter it (Dead Ringer was made for a project, not intended for RPing). Quite a silly design, but it hasn't really been tested against good bots (It got placed in the weakest group in the /r/Battlebots Hammerfall tourney). Double-ended flipper that fires both ends at the same time. Has roll bars if it gets flipped on its top, but can't really reliably get off its side.
Stats:
Speed: 4
Traction: 4
Torque: 5
Weapon: 7
Armor: 10
Slider Break
Horizontal bar spinner, bar is spun by the belt above, which is connected to two motors running at the same rpm.
Stats
Speed: 6
Traction: 3
Torque: 1
Armour: 7

Uppercut V2
An upgraded and revised version of my Hammerfall entry. Dual flippers, one on each side. Unlike my Hammerfall entry, only one flipper fires at a time, and when one side is flipping, the other is locked out. Both flippers still run off same pneumatic, not sure if this will count for dual weapon score splitting or not, up to NWOWWE I suppose. This version can self-right with the flippers. Keeping within the theme of reference, there are speakers under each flipping arm. These speakers play the "YEAHHHH" from The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" Whenever the flipper is fired.
Stats:
Speed: 7
Traction: 3
Torque: 2
Armour: 11
Weapon: 7
Mk5
Hammerbot with a heavy shield on the front, hinged teeth on the back and inset treads. The hammer can be swapped between matches depending on opponents, but both sides of the hammer are used regardless.
Stats:
Speed: 5
Traction: 3
Torque: 2
Armour: 9 (+3 to Front Shield)
Weapon: 11

Other Weight Classes
<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">
Bunx
Hobbyweight (12lb). Shell spinner (not a melty) with an open top. Two raised blocks to bend and warp any hammers or such that try to get into said open top. Megabyte style pole to show direction and make the bot near uncontrollable when it gets flipped.
Stats:
Speed: 6
Traction: 4
Torque: 2
Armour: 6
Weapon: 12
Database
Featherweight (30lb). A vertical spinner with a nightmare-like disc. The front two wheels are powered, while the rear omni wheel coasts. There are counterweights at the back to offset the weight of the blade. The blade is run off two synchronized motors on each side. If one of these motors fails, the drive belt can slip and allow the weapon to still spin from the other side's motor.
Stats:
Speed: 6
Traction: 4
Torque: 2
Armour: 6
Weapon: 12
DnB
It looks like a drum spinner, but the drum isn't a spinning weapon. The drum does spin, but only to change which part of the drum is being used. The weapon is actually more like a wide hammer with three different hammer heads. The spikes are meant for piercing armour and such, the round ended nubs are for warping armour and structure, and the bars are for jamming up weapons, spinning or otherwise.. The arms have 360 degrees of rotation and can be used to flip the robot over if it ends up upside down.
Stats:
Speed: 5
Traction: 4
Torque: 3
Armour: 7
Weapon: 11 (1 to Drum tool selector thing)
