Can't help but imagine intentionally shorting the opponent is in violation of some rule, like the 'Invisible Damage' rule. Perhaps it isn't, but also, how would you get the wires in? You'd have to make a hole in most robots, surely.

I don't know, if you managed to get in and chew up a robots innards, it may well be ungentlemanly but it is still visible damage, just internal. I've dreamt of a heavyweight robot with a mini bot using a spinner that you could spin up on board the main robot and deploy under a flipper in to its innards if it missed the shot.
Very much pie in the sky but it would be cool.
Ahh I thought the wires were intended to short out connections, not just mangle the insides.
I think you're highly overestimating the effectiveness of the wire thing and even the ability to deploy them.
In a fast paced fight trying to insert some wires in a ESC like a TZ85a, we're talking Borglike nanotech.
It's actualy in the rules from day 1 of the Original Mentorn rules :"no exposed electrical connections."
Hmmmm the dawn of casual nano-warfare, I think if we got there those pesky spinners would pale in comparison! Some smart-aleck would simply enter grey-goo and wipe out all matter on Earth.
A tad excessive I think..
I would simply like to refer you to this from my previous thread-
Everyone seems to have an opinion on how to build a winning robot for Robot Wars I found,
most turned out to be dreamers with concepts built around a radio controlled car and numerous ideas
for weapons- most of which would be illegal even under the oldest rules like machine guns and
electrical dissruption ect.
I' m working on a unique weapon myself so I'm all for new ideas-sensible ones
How would this differ from an axe or hammer?
