Star Crusher

Star Crusher is a superheavyweight robot built by Sea_2014 of team Wasted Potential for the Spring Bash Cup 2019 tournament.

Star Crusher was notable for its science fiction/rocket theme and being one of the few horizontal spinners to feature double direct-drive, making its bar spin at ridiculous speed. It was also a treaded robot, which meant it received a large weight bonus because of how the weapon/chassis ratio was optimized. The main drawback that came back to haunt it was its weak tread connections and its poor mobility.

Spring Bash Cup 2019
Star Crusher's first fight was a rough match-up against 2 of the best control bots in the superheavyweight division (Rage Quit and Tamarind, who went on to be 4th and 2nd respectively). As mentioned previously, the treads were the weak point, which was thoroughly abused by said control bots, as they broke them through ramming, lifting and pushing.

Its next opponent was an overhead clamper named Fortune Faded, who also abused this same weakness by clamping down on them and breaking them, and so Star Crusher was eliminated from the tournament.

Current information
These days Star Crusher still competes in the superheavyweight bracket, changing very little but getting optimized with each iteration. It is currently on its 9th build as of the 15th of June 2019.
