Inspiration/innovation in weaponry

Always hankered after the idea of climbing onboard and then extruding metal wire into the interior of the robot.

Looks like the option of injecting/feeding steel wire or spring steel is now a viable option with the rule changes allowing some forms of entanglement

some entanglement is allowed now?
wow, didn't know this before... must have missed it.
Why is this change? spinners getting mighty?^^

Apparently to give new robot designs a chance. Plus increase in weight for shufflers and walkers. I imagine using entanglement is more likely to stop drums as you can only use a metre of rope/chain/Kevlar etc. But probably still useful against spinners. RW wants more innovative weaponry, like robots that pick up other robots and use them as shields or have pneumatic spikes and can invalidate Newtonian physics.

Do you have a link for that?
