Sweet, liking how both of those look. Especially liking Chewer, that disc looks like it could be potent with the right statting behind it.

LW- Bamratrak

Image

It may have a quirky name but it was built to be deadly, you do not want to see this robot in your back garden, meet the nefarious Bamratrak, a tracked lightweight wielding a spinning ring capable on spinning at 3000rpm, the tracks were made in order to avoid loosing control, I decided not to have wheels on the robot since it may have turning problems, I learned from this when I made Chemical Explosion 2 as a horizontal spinner. After studying Gyrobot off Robot Wars I wanted to find a way in order to control the robot when impacting an opponent. Hopefully the design is logical enough to at least manage the gyroscopic speed of Bamratrak's weapon. I then watched Tazbot vs Ringmaster and I looked at Ringmaster's design.

So I decided to give my robot's design a more slim disc body in order to get a nice design. Here are the stats.

Speed: 6
Traction: 6
Weapon: 10
Armour: 7
Torque: 1

Awesomeness- liking the look of it a lot, you don't see too many tracked Ring Spinners about. Also, what a name! What does it mean, I wonder? :v:

And there you have "Bamratrak&#33;"

What do you think to the stats?

MW- Lethal Carriageway

Image

A New MW I've developed where this robot has an electronic powered lifting wedge in front, it's made for brute force and power, and trust me you don't want to see this thing through a motorway, it's 4WD, has orange small lights at the side of the robot to give it some character, it has and extra wedge that's upside down from behind in order for extra protection when it's inverted.

LC can run both ways up thanks to the shape and the size of it's wheels.

Speed: 7
Traction: 6
Torque: 3
Weapon: 3
Armour: 11

That is a very good spread of stats for that design

I'm liking the look of that one a lot- solid design, great spread of stats, and I love the additional little things on it as well, like the flashing lights and the "BACK TO THE HARD SHOULDER" taunt underneath the Lifter. All-in-all, very well done. :P

HW- Jabtech

Image

My first shufflebot to start off with, the main weapon is a pneumatic spike that is capable on piercing holes onto the opposition and pierce on exposed wheels. it has front hinged wedges for protection. It has rear spikes for extra protection from rear attacks.

Speed: 6
Traction: 5
Armour: 7
Weapon: 10
Torque: 2

LW-Torpedo

Image

This robot is probably my second best LW I've come up with. It's a 2WD driven robot with a moderately powered flipper to get underneath the opponents, the flipper has a curved tip on top of the robot in order to assist the self righting when upside down. The back curved panels are there to prevent the machine from sitting at the back and help get back on it's wheels.

Speed: 7
Traction: 6
Torque: 2
Weapon: 5
Armour: 10

HW- Sparkster

Image

Rocket Knight has had a complete over haul and now has become Sparkster, instead of a rammer it has now become a scoop/flipper type robot and 2WD, the spikes on top of the weapon is there to assist the robot when self right, it even has a curved plate at the back of the robot to give it some more assistance when self righting.

The armor is titanium and painted with chrome dark blue, it even has some nice logos on the robot referencing Sparkster. Especially the "Lets Go&#33;" quote on the back of the machine. I'm very happy with the robot's re-design.

The scoop when raised can stay up in order to hold the opponent off it's front or back wheels and push it to make it inverted.

Speed: 7
Traction: 6
Weapon: 4
Torque: 3
Armour: 10

IMO you should keep Rocket Knight around - I'm a fan of the design

Liking this too though. has a very streamlined look to it that I enjoy

MW- Upchuck III

Image

A major tweak from the shape of Upchuck, the "fattiness" of the previous two versions have cut down and has become slimmer and much more agile. The flipper has the similar look to the previous versions so it can be recognizable.

Stats:

Speed: 6
Traction: 6
Torque: 2
Weapon: 6
Armour: 10
