Chomp has one before

Chomp’s the most over-engineered, badass looking, gigantic, seemingly useless bot ever. All that mass for just a simple hammer. All those separate, slow-crawling legs just to be stopped by its own armor skirt. And flames... why do bots even incorporate fire? It gives you a fuel tank an enemy can explode inside your own bot... and the flame itself does NOTHING to other bots.

chomp is just cool. too complex

chomp either needs a vertical spinner on the turret or a hammer stout enough that he isnt afraid to swing it right into a horizontal spinner.

I like the direction the Chomp team went with their robot. I think the implementation is less than stellar, but the concept is one they should explore further. Both the turret and its hammer are way out of reach of horizontal spinners, but a vertical blade will still easily clip the front end a horrific blow if they aren’t careful, so it needs extra protection in the front. Their drive system needs some serious protection against horizontal blades and _especially_ undercutters. Lastly they need to redesign the hammer; it’s not got nearly the kinetic force to hit as hard as they need it to hit. But overall, I think this new Chomp has potential. Screw the haters.

oh no Chomp!! I feel so sorry for this unique robot

Is it just me or when I noticed the hammer wiggling like jelly was an issue as well? (Idk if it would exceed the weight limit or cause issues similar to its past design, but they could add hidden wheels in the case the legs stop working...)

they are forced to have legs due to being over 250 pounds they aren’t allowed to have wheels

Chomp's deisgn is so freaking cool I love it so much but it being a very tanky defens bot just makes me sad. I wish they would bring back the previous design but make it more like an aligator head where the hammer can still be attacked to the U metal but its much thicker and more spikes liek teeth and less of a chance for bots to get away so it can use its fire (also probably add a counter weight so it doesnt jump so much). I feel like it would work much better as a grapple but than what they are currently doing. Of course I dont have the ability, know how, or any resources to do it myself so these are just my thoughts but in reality what they're making for battle bots is incredible and by far the coolest looking bot ever!

Blah-blah-blah...Chomp...blah-blah-blah...NO!

Every year I celebrate when that dumb robot gets eliminated

Chomp can be everything, but never a battle bot.

I can see Chomp being on Robot Wars. If only they had the weight limit for walkers up to 210kgs/500lbs.

They allow fire now?

So when we getting a 500 pound Wrecks?

Why the heck would anyone build a bot with practically zero mobility and is basically a sitting duck?

If Chomp had used it's fucking hammer to start instead of the idiotic flamethrower it might have landed a critical hit. Don't bother with flamethrowers until you have an opponent pinned christ.

Just don’t use a easily bendable steel band as armor for the legs lol.

Chomp should have chosen a different design for the leg armor, this model will relly make it hard for the legs if this happens, and this will really happen in the battlebox, maybe a diff style for the armor, like a skirt armor?
