'''[[Rammer]]/[[Hammer]]''': Basically, a fast hammer with a frontal weapon rack. The tactic is to begin hammering after pinning your opponent, a thing rammers can do easily, and useful for pushers. However, they are not as maneouvrable as real rammers (because of the hammer head and the srimech that often fails) and pretty much unstable. Extremely efficient against horizontal spinners when these are not über stacked. Side hammer hybrids are stronger against vertical spinners and possibly popups (again, a weapon against your greatest enemy) and wipe out the instability problem and lack of invertibility.

'''[[Rammer]]/[[Poker]]''': The best hybrid here isn't the fast poker, but a regular rammer with several pneumatic weapons. Foolishevil's bot RoAcH (Starcore 3) is a great design to start with. These basically add some bite to your rammer, provides you with a decent tossing agility, but also provide an additionnal weapon to a pusher, solving the issue of pushers doing low damage. Of course, your chasis is going to be big with all these motors, batteries and air tanks, so you'd better be on a weight diet for this hybrid. Useful against horizontal spinners.

As you can find, rammers are extremely easy to hybrid and a good addition to other weapon designs.

On another side, all vertical spinning weapons and [[Popup]]s are very hard to hybrid, excepted perhaps with rammers.

On another side, all vertical spinning weapons are hard to hybrid, not to mention [[Popup]]s that are not worthy hybriding (Unless with a flipper, that is making your wedges active weapons).
