Mad Catter may have won that, but I think Malice needs to bring its weapon reliability here to Battlebots. Also, MRRRRROOOOWWWWW! Hope the Cat gets another!
A lot of reasons. The biggest reason is recoil: horizontals fly sideways into walls, where as verticals go into the ground, and as long as it is supported their robot can absorb ground recoil. Another reason is bite: Vertical weapons typically have less raw power than horisontals, which means less damage to themself, but they make up for it with consistent supported attacks which makes the overall damage bigger. Big horizontal spinners have a lot of raw power due to bigger bite, but with less support and less ability to transmit that power, the damage to itself is bigger. At least, this is how I see it as someone who has never built a robot
@@EdgeCat vertical spinners are also easyer to fin into the robot a horizontal spinner often either needs the spinner to have a rig to hold it awat from itself like tombstone or like this one dedecate a huge amount of the internal profile to accomodate said spinner another thing is that vertical spinners take advantage of the gyroscopic effect where as horizontal spinners have to fight against it you can kindof see that with full body spinners which end up going out of control more often than not

Wait wait wait... Haha, CAT-aclysm. I get it now.
Rabbit's forks became a hindrance to itself here. Got in the way of hitting when upside down.
Malice/Rabbit always has trouble getting lodged or stacked at funny angles. They need a sphere on wheels, or is that redundant?
The fight we should have got in s5 ep6 of battlebots
it will help if you tell us which face belong to which bot
Why horizontal weapon robot get very damage to its self compared to vertical robot

@Drecknath Magladery Oh yeah that also makes sense. Thanks for the insight! :)
