Best Battle Robot

It is not an easy feat to reach to be known as the best battle robot around. There are many battle robots around now a day and the competition is fierce but the main similarity for all of the best battle robots is their similar design. The very best of these robots generally have very small designs mostly focused on a spinning or flipping motion. For example; one of the most famous robots is the Biohazard design: Which is a very low to the ground sleek design that attempts to wedge under itself under the opponent and either flip them over or push them away. There will never be one definitive answer on which or what is the best design for a battle robot, but one thing is for certain is that these smaller, more compact robots generally contain all of their weaponry and parts internally.

 

What does that mean? Well exactly that; everything is contained within the robot’s outer shell. Any incoming enemy attacks will be purely deflected to the outer armor leaving the core and internal components basically unharmed in most cases. This isn’t always the case, there have been many other great battle robots that featured arms, legs, feet, saws etc. but you will generally find these smaller more compact robots in the winner’s circle majority of the time. Something that is also exceedingly common in these best battle robots is the material choice. The best choice is normally either titanium or aluminum depending on your budget of course; and titanium being the better of the two. The most effective weapons to date are plain old wedges. The wedging system has been the most commonly used yet effective weapon system to date, and can be credited as a simple, low-tech solution. Its goal is to maneuver itself under the opponent to either flip it onto its back, or throw it into the air, or even both. If you can flip your opponent onto its back, in most cases they will not have a counter and will have to submit the fight. Winning is winning, and whether you shred your opponent to bits or flip him onto his back, you can take your win with pride knowing you picked a smarter design.

Just because you have the best armor or weapon, we know that does not make you necessarily successful. The skill and control of the driver is 90% of the battle itself. Using the wrong strategy or making the wrong decisions can lead to an easy loss on your end of the battle and that is never what you want to have happen. Practice will always make perfect. Your operator must know the robot inside and out, and know how to maneuver and battle in the most stressful or terrible of situations. If you wanted to build the best battle robot I suggest you practice and work very hard to learn the ins and outs of your robot to maximize its potential.
