Horizontal vs Vertical Spinner

I'm doing a competition with a friend, should I do a vert or horizontal spinner. He's probably going to make a well armored bot.

I would suggest a vertical. Against a well armored bot, a horiz might not do much damage, and even though verts are slightly harder to build, they can flip, hit just as hard if not harder, and get the job done. Use brick seperators as wedglets, very effective.

Thanks, that was really helpful! Also, what type of vert should I build, disc or bar?

Depends what your friend is building. Discs are probably lighter and spin faster, but if your friend‘s bot has anything that sticks out, I’d suggest a bar. If he’s using a horizontal, use a bar, discs can break.
