It's raised a bit under an inch off the ground. If it moves slow enough, it can move stably.


the spinner is still like, 2/3 of the robot. if you thought endgame 1.0 was unstable, this thing will be even worse
The spinner can self-right the bot. And it only needs to survive one hit to win.

I fail to see how on Earth it can self-right. If you're counting on a Rambyte on Tornado Mer dance, your chassis is just going to spin in place. Furthermore, as I've discovered with Endgame, usually half the opponent's drivetrain survives the first hit and it's hard to follow up on that when you're on your side.

To fix the stability problem, I would suggest using a shorter, wider body and a less massive blade. Maybe throw a self-righting post on top as well. It's not reliable, but it's better than no chance.

If there is more spinner than body (like 50%, and not counting weapon motors) then it's pretty likely the weapon will spin you.

Couldn't I modify it so that the center is made of pure osmium? Dense, so the center's above 50% of the weight?

...I fail to see how that self-right would work.

Also considering how Endgame and Desolation have been doing this season, I doubt you're right on the whole "one hit to win" thing.

I modified it so the spinner can tilt left or right. When fired on full with that, it can put itself on its top or bottom.

I'm highly dubious about accepting that as a legitimate entry. I'm not even sure if those legs would work to move the bot around.

I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

I think it can–just really slowly. I could make it six-legged if you'd prefer.

Wait... is that thing supposed to be a vertical or horizontal spinner? I honestly can't tell.

It's a horizontal. But It also can stop, angle its spinner by way of basically a big stick inside the robot, then spin. Because it spins at [yes] miles an hour, it can sorta self-right itself onto its top or bottom. It doesn't always work, but it at least succeeds into flopping it into the walls where it can push itself up.

Wait... so, it's a ring spinner, that can also angle the spinner?

How the heck does that work? Can we see some diagrams?

Okay, I'm still very confused, but from what I can gather, the entire weapon mechanism, motor and all, can tilt back and forth? If that's the case, then the gap in the chassis for the weapon to pass through would surely prevent it from doing that? If not, then it's still going to be wildly unstable, especially since it's taller than it is wide. Sorry, but personally I just can't see it actually working.

That's pretty much correct. It is wildly unstable. It's not meant to win–it's meant to destroy.

I'm not sure what the fascination with these uber walking spinners is anyway. I'm half tempted to just officially ban them because they bring nothing interesting to the table.
