Side hammers are good against everything that hasn't side protection (sometimes hammers, but mainly vertical spinners) − *Vertical hammers tend to hit bots where they don't have weapons or armor -on the top (with the notable exception of other hammers or VS) − *One of the best bot types when [[pinning]] opponents − *Weapons tend to be hard to reach − '''CONS'''+ − *Needs front protection − *Not the most stable of bot types − *Vulnerable to flanking, like most forward-attacking bots.

A hammer is basically better against bots with a vulnerable roof (rammers).
A hammer is basically better against bots with a vulnerable roof (rammers).
It can be efficient against a bot with a lot of extenders and against [[horizontal spinner]]s if built (extremely) well.

'''PROS'''
*Attacks the top of a bot, which tends to be unarmored
*Can attack freely when pinning an opponent
*Weapons tend to be hard to reach
'''CONS'''
*Needs front protection
*Not the most stable of bot types
*Vulnerable to flanking.
*Especially in Stock, fragile weapon extenders
*Difficulty self-righting
*Very specialized design: good against several bot types, poor against most others
*Low number of weapons.
==Side Hammer==
==Side Hammer==
A side hammer is exactly what it says on the tin : a hammer . Rather than bringing down the weapon, it is bringing it from the sides, like a claw closing on the opponent.
A side hammer is exactly what it says on the tin : a hammer with side-swinging weapons. Rather than bringing down the weapon, it is bringing it from the sides, like a claw closing on the opponent. Can overlap with [[Clamp]]s.
This type hasn't generally the damage values of a normal hammer and doesn't avoid horizontal weapons, but can be made [[invertable]] then.

If you want your hammer to be damaging, then put several weapons on your hammer head. A hammer head featuring three razor tips is way better than a simple sledgehammer.

'''PROS'''
*Hard to flank
*Can attack freely when pinning an opponent
*Can attack wheels more easily than other designs
'''CONS'''
*Tends to hit the opponent's weapons
*Wide - may have mobility issues when next to walls
*Very specialized (good against rammers, awful against HS and SnS)

A few builders still perpetuate the species, mainly [[Sage]], [[Clickbeetle]] and to a lesser extent [[Naryar]].
