Hybrid

Hybrids are basically bots that feature different weapon systems.

I wouldn't recommend more than two weapon systems. Because even if a hybrid's greatest strength is versatility, it would be still weaker than a regular bot in each of his own weapon systems.

EMERGENCY is a rammer/flipper hybrid, although it isnn't really a ram because it deals low damage, more than a pusher.

There are many, many types of hybrids, but only several are efficient.

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). Extremely efficient against horizontal spinners when these are not über stacked. Side hammers are stronger against vertical spinners.

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.

Rammer/Horizontal spinner: A nice design, these are fast horizontal spinners with several static spikes, or at the opposite, a rammer with two spinners. Horizontal spinners will be easier to fight with that.

Rammer/Sit&Spinner: You just need to give up a few spikes/axes on your ramming weapon and make a rear "tail" with weapons on it, or put weapons all around your bot (remember not to sacrifice your entire weapon rack). This is a powerful addition to a ram if you are fighting a wedged opponent (VS, popup). You will find sit'n'spinning is a good tactic to damage your opponent's sides, rather than ramming them head on.

Hammer/Poker: These types attack by pushing opponents into a wall or corner, then hammering down the wounded opponent. these bots are rare, and the best example is ScootOrDie, a DSL remake.

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

On another side, Vertical Spinners and Popups are very hard to hybrid (perhaps an hybrid between the two, because they work the same way)
