Although I know that the War Robots Make-Your-Own-Bot Competition is long over, I would like to present an idea of a bot I thought of yesterday.
I present to you, the Hoygraf.
The Hoygraf is a medium robot.
LEVEL 1 STATS:
HP: 76k
Speed: 32km/h
Slots: One Medium, Three Light
Cost: 3000 AU (I'm not sure, but if you suggest a price, don't make it components as not everyone has $10,000 to spend)
SPECIAL ABILITY: Wall Break
Hoygraf can activate it's special ability, dashing 50m forward in the direction of the crosshair while completely going through any obstructions like walls, buildings and other bots. This can be used to finish off a bot that is hiding or destroy a bot which is pointing it's shield towards you. If the obstruction is more than 50m long, Hoygraf will not go through the wall but instead retain it's original position. If there is no obstruction, Hoygraf will dash 50m without further effect.
Wall Break has a 16 second recharge.
Potential in Game:
Hoygraf has the potential to be a game-changer. For example, if a bot is hiding behind an obstruction, holding a beacon, Hoygraf can wall break and destroy the bot if there is no time to go around the obstruction (because the beacon would give the enemy enough points to win in the time it takes). Hoygraf could also destroy heavily injured bots hiding behind cover, should it be required in, say, Team Deathmatch. Hoygraf could also have a very good potiental to be a flanking/ambush bot, but in a different way than the Rhino (the other flanking/ambush bot), as Hoygraf could skirt the map and Wall Break at a certain angle so that the bot could not see it coming. Its slots could be fitted with an Orkan and three Pinatas to make it a brawler or a Taran and three Magnums to surprise enemies when the Taran reload finishes. A Punisher or Molot loadout is even possible.
Why I thought of the Hoygraf:
In my 1 and 1/2 years of playing War Robots, one thing that has annoyed me greatly was bots, on minimal health, hide behind cover. It was extremely annoying, and if you were extremely close, they could ditch. I dreamed of a bot that could pass the wall and thought of the Hoygraf.
Another thing that was annoying was when both team's beacon meters were down and only a sliver of points were needed to win. However, enemies behind walls were hiding and keeping the beacons on their side (this was especially prominent on the Moon map- when the center beacon was held by an enemy above you).
Another thing was the Raijin on low health. They would put their shield up (I was using Tarans) but what if you could surprise it by Wall Break and get off some shots and kill them?
Rough Sketch (I'm sure Pixonic can do better than me):

P.S: Is there a way to contact Pixonic about this?
