This robot is one of the oddest around, it uses a unique form of traction to move around which gives it strange levels of manouverability, but more importantly unparrallelled traction. The screw drives however do have their limitations and therefore it has to turn like a car and can't spin on the spot, however it can move directly sideways with ease. It is practically umpushable due to the amount of traction that the screws generate. It doesnt rely on its weapons much (not shown in the picture) which are spinning weapons on the end of the screws which twist into the opponent to gain a grip, a cross between a flywheel and a drill which just help in a fight but are by no means necessary.

Colour: Silver, white and grey
Weight: 100kg (I am considering this a wheeled bot for now, if I get weight bonuses for it I will write what is applicable at the bottom at a later date).
Shape: see picture
Wheels: two massive screws which turn inwards to propel the robot forward, outwards to move back or in the same direction to move sideways, the only limitation of this is it means that one side has to travel faster than the other but bost must be going forward for the robot to turn, making it have about the same manouverability as car style steering. The main advantage however is that the screwws provide massive pushing power from their traction. Lastly the screws also allow blizzard to be amphibious although at present theres no need for this. the last advantage is that it is imposible to prop it up against the sides in any way.
Speed: 17mph
Turning circle: 2.5m
Armour: 4mm chrome over 2mm titanium
Power: 2x Lem 130s at 46volts
Ground clearance: the same as a cyliner, none but an overhang
Weapons: Two spinning weapons mounted at hte front end at the end of the screws, they resemble three prongs twisted slightly with a sharpened point, they twist into the robot so they make it difficult ot pull free, acting as both a drill and a flywheel combined, each weapon weights 8kg and spins at 1700rpm
Srimech: invertible
Strengths: very strong pushing power, strange movement means that gettering round the sides has no advantage
Weaknesses: Not too difficult to flip
