Owner Name: Tony (no, that's not my real name)
Owner Age: 18
Gender: Male
Money: $0

Bot Name: Mustng
Bio:Tony always wanted to build robots. When he was a kid, he would stay up at night to watch repeats of old Robot Wars episodes. He now just graduated college, but can't find a job. He builds robots in the his apartment, which is constantly a mess with wires and motors. He can't find a job, and does this for a hobby.
Perk: Junkie. Can find parts in different things from the dump. More chance to get good, used parts (motors and such) at awesome/free junkyard prices.
-----
Bot Weapon: Two spikes on medium-duty, lightweight servos (used, salvaged from a power chair) that are mounted on the top-front of the bot. They are stored inside the bot, and can jab about 6 in very quickly, piercing enemy armor.
Bot shape: About 2 1/2 feet long, 6 in tall, with a slope on the front, starting at the top 1 1/2 feet from the back.
Armor: 1/2 inch steel all around, except for the 1 inch front part.
Bot Desc.: Two wheels, one on each side, 8 in tall, inward mounted 1/2 inch, 4 inches deep. The weapons are mounted on their poker mount at the top of the slope, slightly angled downward. The front slope is reinforced with 1 extra inch of scrap steel. The wheels are 5 in from the back. The bot is powered from salvaged power chair motors, 2 for each wheel, connected to each other and the wheel with chains from bikes.
Special: Attacks by scooping the opponent on the reinforced slope, then sends him over or fires the spikes to jab into the armor, using the bot motion to increase piercing power.
Health: 100/100
Armor Health:


yo, cut it down, way too much and too expensive
