and for my next trick, a two wheeled invertible poker/stabber bot I like to call "glass eater"

only three real issues I can see

1) how the hell does that particularly-shaped weapon do any damage? :S

2) based on wheel size, you probably have very little ground clearance

3) fog is a cloud that's near the ground :P

Wait, what?

On the plus side there's nothing wildly off-model about it like your paint bots. Still, I'm not sure that's really the best use of a pneumatic weapon... or the best shape to make a chassis.

It's...better.

It was pretty much a cross bread between La-Machine and Bad Attitude. As for the shape of the rod, I have no idea. At any rate, I call this thing "bloodsucker"

um...if I am correct in thinking that bar back there holds the drum...how does it spin properly with only one support?

it has no teeth?

it's hitting the edge of the bot?

don't get me wrong, it's still much better than most of your paint jobs but...the logic confuses me

Dear god I don't even know what I am doing

yeah that drum bot looks completely ineffective and confusing.

Protip: Post multiple angles of your renders.

Say, does sketchup have a tool that allows for me to copy an entire model, and flip it like a mirror?

Protip: Tali'Zorah drum is not an active weapon.

Protip: A drum only connected to one support and totally scraping the top edge of your robot is not an active weapon in any manner.

Protip: stop using Protip.

newbtip: also exists... not all tips can be protips

i think you should lower the drum, add teeth and put some stabilizers on
