Shockwave, made by G-Force. It was a former Champion here on ARC, and one of the designs that made the Clamp/Lifter combination popular on the site. Shown here is the final version, Shockwave Beta- my own robot Master of Puppets was based a lot on him.

Aye, hopefully. With some solid statting behind it, I reckon it should do alright.

A new middleweight called Hermes, a nippy fella too, he's also invertible

Simple, effective design. Not too much to say about it, but with the right stats it could be a promising entry. Good work.

I like. Very solid-looking design, reminds me a bit of King Buxton, actually. :P

The wheels are nice and protected, the body is like a flat box so there are no spots where it can get caught.
Now, I'm thinking about the interchangable weapons, I know I need to add a bracket for which one to add, these include Armour and weapon, don't static spikes increase the weapon number by +1?

No, unpowered weapons don't require any weapon points. You can have ramming spikes, dumb thwacks, that sort of thing, and you don't need any Weapon.

Here's the stats and info on the robot of Hermes, if the stats look too high you can tell me and I'll switch it.
Hermes
Speed: 8
Traction: 7
Torque: 4
Weapon: 3
Armour: 8
The robot was technically planned and designed for speed and ramming. There

Middleweight-Pika-Bot
A second hand substitute robot once Sneak Beast Retires from his first event. Pika-Bot was inspired after the famous Japanese Pokemon character Pikachu which I'm sure you'd know him off by heart. His weaponry contains electric 180 degree forklifts which means for an invertible robot it can go either way. It's two wheel drive which makes it controllable when turning.
On either way up, three long ridges which are teethed, almost like a spike trap is there to catch the opponent and possibly graze the tires for opponents who have big or small tires depending on the shape.
The robot itself can act as a Lift/Ram bot which is basically what it is.
Hope you like my new robot.

Oh look, it's Pika Four. :P
Seriously though, I do like the look of this design- the way you've done the two-sided Lifting Spikes are quite a good idea.
