Sawbots are basically spinners.
Sawbots are basically [[VS]] with disc or sawblade weapon components instead of weapons on extenders.
Contrarily to classical [[HS]]/[[VS]] or drums that features bars/discs/tribars, a sawbot's weapon is just (as the name implies) a saw or circular weapon (single component) attached to a motor. Middleweight and especially heavyweights can have multiple saws.
[[Ninja]], [[BOT-204]] (and their DSL counterparts) and [[Spinner from the West]] are sawbots, but [[Ripblade]] (Stock and DSL) isn't one because it has teeth on a disc.

A variant of the sawbot is a drill. These robots feature a lengthwise attack zone (compared to the vertical or horizontal attack zones of the traditional sawbots), although designs vary heavily depending on the weight class. Sub-[[Lightweight]] classes take advantage of the [[Chicken Drill]] glitch to deal lethal damage despite only having a single [[Razor]] per weapon motor. While the drill design is not optimal on heavier weight classes for stock, drills in DSL can be a threat simply by spamming light and damaging weapons onto small drums/discs in a lengthwise manner, such as [[Mindless Aggression 4]].

=Pros&Cons=
'''PROS:'''
'''PROS:'''
* Excellent damage
* Good to excellent DPS
* Weapon/s cannot be physically stopped
* Weapons do not get stuck in the opponent, unlike some VS
* By far the most stable spinners due to single-piece weapon systems
* Does not wobble if a weapon is lost
* Fast and wedgy - good gut-rippers
* Gut-ripping specialist
'''CONS:'''
'''CONS:'''
* Risky builds due to very fragile and exposed weapons
* Very fragile weapons : win fast or lose by points
* Usually not invertible
* Virtually impossible to self-right without a srimech and almost never invertible
* Self-righting tends to be more difficult than in VS
* Weapons are more exposed than most gut-rippers
* Lacks the punting force of a VS
* Lacks the punting force of a VS
