Ya know Sparkey perhaps maybe you can discuss your ideas with us before drawing them. It could help us give you more suggestions on how to improve upon it.

okay, how does this sound

2 pneumatic rams ushing a 5 foot bar with a hammer down that can be held out so it can thwack?

Like I said, hammer weapons are made to deal with stress on the driving axis plane. Slamming the weapon sideways into something really hard would likely break the drive components.

yeah yur right

Okay, let me explain this

about the drive incedent, that was a joke, I was going to include that bot as "shitty rip off of Drive" with JOEYS PERMISION ONLY, Good thing I asked, rite? and when I said "your loss" that was saying your loss 'casue a bot making a cameo in the pack could get him more publicity. I am sorry about that, and I don't blame you guys if everyone here hates me and will never talk to me again. Also, the big black bot, it took some hint from that other dude, but if I was trying to rip him off, I would have givin him four wheels and the sam color, rite? that was all qoincedental, okay? as there is that design in real lif so don't try to clame it
so lets just put this all behind us

Where did this come from? And why are you still on this issue? We've moved on about it, but if you must have closure, I think the "ripoff" of I4NI was more acceptable because at least you drew it and you probably had no knowledge of that bot beforehand (there were enough differences in it to not call it a clone either). For example, John often makes bots that resemble popular Battlebots. He puts his own twist on them, however, and makes them from scratch so they are more inspired than anything.

You took the actual CAD of Drive and just stuck a different name on it. While I honestly believe you had no ill intention with that, it's a big sign to others that you are outright stealing their bot. In general, people don't look highly of you if you have something that looks too much like a clone, whether you were stealing or not. I think everything people said to you was more of a warning to make you not do that again. If you learn, that's the end of it.

The hell you say...

On a serious note, is the side supposed to be a different color than the top? I ask because those two greens don't really mesh together well from an artistic standpoint.

Also, in the top view pic, the hammer clearly extends beyond the rear of the chassis; not so much in the side view.

Make your wheels round... I would also suggest four wheels for better stability, but if you're going for the Killerhurtz thing, this could work well.
