Inspiration/innovation in weaponry

[Black-Tie Knife Fight]

I figured it had been tried, but I do have a system that is very promising at the moment - I hope to be able to demonstrate it at some point.

Has anyone else tried/wanted to try something entirely daft? Or will I be finding myself labelled as a crackpot in the future?

I've had the thought of rapidly welding/soldering the other machine together before, though I'm sure that's not legal, just a stupid idea. For something more sensible, how about a hydraulic spreader? You could have backward-facing barbs with the aim of wedging yourself inside another robot, and expanding it from the inside, sort of like an anti-razer. Obviously you risk facing robots with nothing to get a foothold in, I suppose you'd need another weapon to cover your back for that.
