What have you imagined as an epic design for a bot? (self.battlebots)

I feel like a design has to evolve to survive at the different levels, but have you thought of a design that you think would stand out in the pros? Weapon design, wheel design, armor, go wild!

I wonder if a really nimble robot would work. A waking robot built on something like spot or similar that could jump out of the way of attacks or lift feet to not take a hit. The control would be insane, and the weapon would probably be underpowered, but it'd be interesting to see a gymnastics type bot that's just able to evade everything.

It would be pretty traumatic to watch Spot's legs get ripped off by Icewave lol!
