What about the bot dying when HP reaches zero but the explosion on an overload timer? 5,4,3,2,1 should be plenty of time for a zippy little light bot to flee.

that work? keep the same damage but put a 5 second kaboom delay, maybe 3 seconds...

That whould make the Explotion tactics in game useless, who cares about lightbots anyway... thay are fairly useless anyway. only light takle are okay to field.

The post is about light bots aka tacklers, clearly someone cares about them. If theyre useless, the devs might as well delete tackling items. Tacklers are an important part of the game, light bots arent "useless".

Just a comment on the scale of this bot's legs, i understand that there is a specific art style to the game but the toothpick legs moving at the speed of light that support a massive chassis looks a little silly.

Just a request but could the legs be thickened or made to look like they can support that giant machine? smile

Are you thinking it would be temporarily stationary, or something that disables and terminates the bot after a timeout.

Having to decide to 'sack the bot could add some intersting tactical questions as well as make the bonus more powerful since you are technically spending millions of nic when you use it; like suicide bots.

A temp disable is ok too, on a fixed timer, but the bonus would be less then perm.

The bonus should be in AP, that's saved by not actuating motors, probaby a bonus to regen rate.

Think "siege mode" for the Terran Siege tank [StarCraft], 4 second deploy and immobilized but rockin' range and Damage.
