Seriously let's build a loving battlebot. We've funded stupider poo poo before, and think of all the fun this would be. We'd have a robot. Like we could up-armor a Roomba and put a saw blade on it and have it spin around or something, call it the Doomba.

Surround it in giant nails so any direction you ram it you'll end up damaging something on the opponent.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

battlebots was stupid because it was just all who could build the best flipper robot to flip the other robots

stupid bitch baby i want to see damage

make it really wide so it's hard to flip and has space for lots of batteries then mount a cutting laser on it, the udience may or may not go blind depending on how shiny the other robot is

alternatively make it spin hammers around itself real fast to ruin the show again

That fighting robot show was bullshit. All those robots, and no rear end in a top hat ever made one that could mount it's target and hump it with a whirling auger drill deathcock.

I have access to a full sheet metal shop and can weld but I have very little understanding of electronics or mechanics. I will help build the robot but smarter people also need to be involved.

What we need is a Tesla coil mounted on tank treads, so we can zorch our opponents with high frequency electronics-damaging EMF pulses. Bystanders will most likely be electrocuted too, although with far less fatal results.

In my Battlebot expertise, clearly the best design is just a giant wedge shape that just flips the opponent over as it drives into it.

Ok, ok- they won't be electrocuted, that takes about 500 milliamps, which the Tesla coil won't produce. Better?
