Question about Bots
What are the rules on sprays of liquid metal? For a bot, I'm imagining a bot that heats up solder or similar and sprays it out as a liquid to freeze and jam up spinners or wheels. Would this be legal?

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be legal, I'm afraid. Liquid weaponry has been disallowed in real-life robotic combat for a while now on safety grounds.

Liquid Metal? Seriously, that's some T1000-level shit, right there.
