Terrortops

Terrortops is a heavyweight robot built by the titular team led by Been Burton, which was accepted as an alternate for BattleBots World Championship VII.
It is a four-wheel drive robot which makes use of twin articulating arms to both lift and pin other robots. These arms are coupled with a 16" diameter vertical spinner weighing up to 45lbs spinning at 245mph.https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg0kiB9LOjd/ However, this was reduced to 185mph for the finished build. The combination of weaponry is designed to lift opponents and attack the vulnerable underbelly of its opposition with their disc, which is made from 1" thick AR500 steel. The frame of Terrortops was milled from 6061 aluminum.
Terrortops sports a single-toothed disc as well as a variety of lifting arms for different opponents, though these have not yet been revealed by the team. Earlier renders of Terrortops had less distinct and vibrant theming, and as such, the robot was originally rejected for the season. However, upon adopting a yellow color scheme, decorative tail at the rear of the robot and rib cage armor similar to that of Witch Doctor, Terrortops was officially accepted as an alternate.
As its name suggests, the robot has a triceratops theme, reflected in the vertical front armor and horns at the front of the robot, as well as its color scheme and markings. The name itself is a portmanteau of the words "terror" and "triceratops". Work began on building Terrortops in mid-2022.https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17930448467424602/ Team Terrortops confirmed their acceptance via Instagram on September 26, 2022.https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci-bZddrxFE/
