Mako is a powerful dual VS (Vertical Spinner) robot built by Jules and one of the most famous bots in DSL bot building. One of its biggest advantages is that it is frankly huge, and it was hard to get around to the back. It came in second in BBEANS 2, being beaten only by Shebeast (Mako beat shebeast the second time they fought) and Smashbox 2 out of all the bots it faced. The bot can be faced with several other BBEANS2 stars in the DSL mod.

It has good wedges and is powerful, but the main problem is 1mm plastic armor.

Mako Clones

Mako spawned a very large amount of clones or near-clones and popularized the axle wedges, also called Mako wedges. 3 of them were entered in BBEANS4, not exactly clones but a similar design. - with Jules building one of them called Diarrhea of a Madman.
