I don't think liquid nitrogen would help, they'd be better off working on ways to overheat the opponents.

As for magnets, I thought those got banned?

I have no idea of the build rules. I just want to see a robot freeze & shatter or go flying from locking down to the floor & reversing magnetic fields -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 28, 22:29 7
- I don't think either of those are scientifically possible in that form factor, but I could be wrong. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 22:35 6
  - (One robot could use magnets to latch onto another robot, though, if the other robot was made of ferromagnetic metal ...) -- nm* - Beryllium Sep 28, 22:35 5
    - I was thinking clamping to the floor and reversing polarity to make them fly like Iron Man's repulsor rays -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 28, 22:56 4
      - Except that that would only work if ... - Beryllium Sep 28, 23:00 3
        
        I care little of the mechanical details. It would just be fun to see. -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 29, 00:17 2
        
        My point is just that iron man repulsors don't exist. Magnets don't work that way. If they did, we'd use that tech EVERYWHRE. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 29, 08:16 1
        
        Sorry, I'm being extremely pedantic here. :-/ -- nm - Beryllium Sep 29, 08:24
