As a concept, I think that's a cracking idea. It's the whole arms-race thing innit: weapons and armour are both pretty serious now, so we have to try and out-design current bots with new ideas: I'm working on armour that absorbs the impact using bushes and springs etc, load-spreading etc, rather than just resisting the blow as best as possible.
