VS (Vertical Spinners) tend to be unstable, and can easily be knocked off balance. The pros of VSs are they do pretty decent damage, and can fling robots in the air, something HSs ([[Horizontal spinner]]s) cannot usually do.

Angled designs do not need wedges and the chassis isn't easy to hit, nor the weapon motors. They have somewhat less issues turning because they have a wide stance.

−The main issue here is the frontal wheels... these are candy to a [[HS]] and if one gets ripped, you'll be unable to move in a controlled way, and your spinner will stop. (worse than [[Ripblade]])

−It is also a good idea to have a nicely built wedge so you can get under your opponents and hit their vulnerable underside. This is clearly the better tactic for a VS.

−The wedged design comes with a wedgelike chassis (obviously). Add small wedges on a burst motor for getting under your opponent, and add spinners to the top of your wedge.

Disc VS, as their name implies, do feature a disc on a motor and ideally four weapons.

−Use irons if you can, or razors, but your disc won't last long then. Don't use blades like on Ripblade-they suck.

Disc spinners aren't very damaging, but they reach quickly maximum rotational speed (AKA "have a short spin-up time"), hit often and are very hard to stop.
