Pros:
+
* All sides of the robot are protected meaning they will not be capable of manuvering out of your damage zone.
+
* Known for devastating damage.
+
* The shell spinner parts usually mean a very well protected chassis.
+
+
Cons:
+
* Very difficult to drive and assess the orientation.
+
* The emphasis on power leads to a slow drive train which leaves you a sitting duck.
+
* [[Srimechs]] are a challenge to apply to these bots (if not impossible) meaning ground clearance is the hardest part of building and a vulnerability to a flipper that can manage to get close.
+
* If the robot uses heavy weights then the loss of one will lead to a catastrophic [[gyro dance]].
