+Pretty much the same weapon as a good [[horizontal spinner]]. Use a tribar on your weapon motor, and add one (or several) weapons on each of the three APs. Your weapon will be tall -beware-. +
Game examples: Ripblade, Ninja, BOT-204

−A kind of bot with a Vertically spinning weapon. VS (Vertical Spinner) 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.

−If you are building a VS, you will probably want to focus most of your weight to your weapon, and make sure the bot has enough support. You could use snowplows at the sides or your bot - becuse most VS have issues turning while spinning their weapon.

−Uses pretty much the same weapon design as a good [[horizontal spinner]], only vertically mounted. Use a tribar on your weapon motor, and add one (or several) weapons on each of the three APs. Your weapon will be tall -beware-.
You will get fewer hits, but more damage and more knockback effect because the weapon tip carries more kinetic energy. Beware, the tribar design can be easily stopped and has a longer spin-up time than the disc design.
