It looks great though, hope it goes farther and does more damage then tetracide.

one side note, on our conversation earlier about the one kind of bot, i don't think you would win agaisnt them. You would need to have the weapon as far out as possible, it would hit you before your weapon could touch it.

Actually i decided that this would do it also. Since the spinning disk is up on the wedges is minimizes the probability of getting a side hit and having damage done to it. The major idea with the bot is that it is really fast so I spin up the weapon and then drive full speed into someone. That gives me 2 things, 1) the wedge will take alot of bots (especially spinners) off balance and then the disk should act like a throwing arm. I built the bot around the weapon for protection knowing that is the most likely thing to be damaged, while also giving it the added capabilities.
