Angled VS

An Angled Vertical Spinner is a special type of VS (or more accurately, a subspecies if you will), introduced first in BBEANS 3 by Gigafrost with Darkblade 1.0 (though the first Angled VS was Sandrabbit in BBEANS 1), and then used in BBEANS 4 by Gigafrost with T I T A N and Sorrow with Smitemare 8 (to a lesser extent). It is a fairly new type of style and, unlike normal VSs, the motor of angled vertical spinners are somewhat notched to spin at an angle (as opposed to the traditional straight alignment of the weapon). This is theorized to give the bot a greater collision to damage ratio and helps it self right more effectively. However, AVSs are more prone to losing weapons than normal VSs since they expose more of their extender bars.

PROS:

• Able to flip opponents along both their x and y axis at the same time, moving weapons away from the motor.
• Self-Rights faster than normal VS.
• Easily makes bots unstable.
• Does good damage.
• Great for rolling opponents around.

CONS:

• Difficult to build effectively.
• Still, like VSs, requires a powerful motor.
• Exposes weak parts of extenders on the weapon.
• Smaller area of contact means it may miss hits more often.
