Er, why ? Kind of a stupid question, it doesnt take too much searching ( http://www.fuckinggoogleit.com ) to find that successful bots have used such a setup, besides, many have already expanded on the topic, and relayed much more than a poll ever could.

BTW, whats with the triple post in like a half hour, there is an edit button you know . . . and your post count means nothing if you submit useless stuff simply to pad it out. . . .

and leave the spamming to me Smile

but yeah the shape and weopon all come down to your persoanl style however what i picture is some huge piramid with a spinning "halo" on it :S so unless its got a flat top well meh i dont think you will get overly far but again my first serious design pitted a domed top with tank treads and a spinning "skirt" that went around a relativly thin central "spine" that housed the wireing for the tracks. in theory it would work in practacality STUPID!!!!!!!
