Now before I get to everything in this defense your going to probably going to need a lot of level 5 engines for a big base/farm I only use 2 because I have a small base/farm (I don't know why I'm mentioning this but there's probably going to be no picture because I don't know really how to add one ): )

The defenses(or defense)

Anyways lets get started.Now for starters if you have metal block 3 or a good durability block then you should make it out of that so it doesn't break (note I can still break but has less chance to) The defense in question can be made in a 2 ways that I now of. The first way is to make a stick going up that's connected to your base so it can be connected next is to add a bearing on the top (obviously) next make a line of blocks horizontal any size connected to the bearing now we need the most important part the engine now I recommend you put the engine at MAX SPEED to increase the lethality rate for green Tote bots and Hay bots (as of now) to 70%-100% though this is for mostly level 5 you can use different level or types of engines but currently I recommend lv5 gas engines at max speed with a gas container (side note it's more like 80%-100% because sometimes when the bots land they die also I have yet to test it at farm bots and tape bots in survival) the next form is what I like to call the CAR WASHER it's basically the first one but a version with its self stacked.

Tips and random stuff

Now personally I would recommend this defense for hay bots and tote bots maybe farm bots but not tape bots only because they'er long range but will occasionally move towards you so might work against them also since chapter 2 hasn't come out yet I won't mention the chapter 2 bots I might make another guide if they act differently to the spinners, now if you want it to work good I recommend medium sized ones because long does have higher reach but is slower so less damage but small is faster and does more but has less reach. now before I end this I recommend you be careful with it because it can be weird with the physics because it goes ALL OVER THE PLACE it can hit cows and players too, not 100% on players but a yes on cows and one time it launched my car very far I only found it because this glitched tote bot who was stuck in a infinite walk cycle WALKED TO IT .Also I named him Jerry, he still comes to this day...... This is my first guide so if its not the best then I completely understand. Have a good day and hope chapter 2 comes out it's been about 5 years or so since they announced it ...... ):
