What have you imagined as an epic design for a bot? (sh.itjust.works)

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!

Personally I've been trying to imagine a hydraulics powered horizontal crusher. Jaws of Death style instead of Kraken style. I feel like it has potential that Jaws of Death didn't hit. Can't remember if there were others like that.

In the same vein, I'd be curious to see if a hydraulic compactor could ever be viable. Instead of piercing with a sharp beak, it would flatten whatever area it got hold of.
