Subject: [alt-beam] Re: BEAM warbotics... the winning bot idea
Hmmmm...not that bad... The ultimate in beam warfare (that could
actually survive in robot wars) would be a robot with a strong offense
because its too light for a good defense. Maybe there could be a
beambot which would scurry about its business, but you will be able to
over-ride instinct action (with a radio controller) in order to manuver
it out of danger. Also, you would use the remote control to fire the
weapons. I feel that some simple radio controlled weapons would be:
acedtone, acedtone is a very flamable chemical found in nail polish
remover that could be used (if not illegal) to create a "wall of flame"
which would temporarily protect your bot from its preditor
disruptors, disruptors are basically water filled tubes that are
activated with a small explosive. They are used to disarm bombs, and
can tear circuitry apart before it can even react
model rockets, these are like disruptors, but they are made for the
model rocket industry, and would more likly tear through armor instead
of circuitry
These are just a few I could think of, maybe there's more
