Here are the three main robot core design concepts for the game.
The Android below is meant to be the weakest out of the three, but has a higher Intelligence attribute (making his Special Abilities more effective, among other perks):

Below is the “Industrial Robot”. He is designed to be well-balanced and therefore fairly versatile:

The third main core robot design is the “Tank Bot”. It’s designed to be very strong in terms of defense but will have a lower Intelligence attribute:

Customization
One of the biggest features and draws to RobotWarz will be its level of customization.
Apart from being able to choose and manage your robot type, weapons, add-on’s, attributes, special abilities, and helper bots, there is also a lot of visual customization you can make as well.
After selecting a robot type, players can then chose and customize the following:
Head
Arms
Feet/Tracks
Body
Texture (Ex. bullet holes, rivets, knicks, etc.)
Colour (255 colours with primary, secondary, and tertiary colors)
16 Billion Unique Robot Designs
There are actually over 16 billion unique robot designs that can be created with RobotWarz.
The programmer for this project actually happens to have a Masters in Mathematics from Johns Hopkins University, so I took the opportunity of asking him what the actual number was for unique robot design possibilities.
As the game currently stands, there are 972 (324 per robot type) possible robot designs [4*(3*3*3*3)*3], and when you factor in the colour options, it works out to a staggering 16,307,453,952 [4*(3*3*3*3)*3*256*256*256]!
As a result, it will be extremely rare and almost impossible to ever find 2 robots that look exactly the same.
