Well considering there's only about 4 spinners at battleshed, I like your odds. Active weapon against all these damn twackbots will be very impressive.
Polycarbonate or steel frame? _________________ ( •_•)

Mostly steel frame. Might be running out of weight.
Yes, it's a crusher.
I won't use the full travel as it takes about 30 seconds for it to fully extend. No need to use it all. It will run on 22.2V
It will probably crush bugger all.

There is about a 20% chance it's first match will be against a spinner - is there any place a horizontal spinner can hit prowler and NOT write it off?

i would have to agree, prowler is really cool, once again a well designed and good looking kerrison machine but the fact is strengh wise ill be veyr worried.
Exposed wheels, what appears to be lexan for armour etc,
I do hope ot does well though, would be real cool to see not a brick/wedge or spinner win an event _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics

Well I can change the claws to be either vertically mounted or horizontally and then set it so it can reach over your spinners. Horizontal spinners worry me less then flippers and I doubt it will be written off in a first hit.
It's also pushing the weight limit because it is 95% steel. I never said I was building it out of polycarb. The main chasis is a street sign post which the rest of the body is welded to.
Yes, it has exposed wheels. But so do all of the Nick's robots.
