Battlebots/Robot Wars Bots VS Zombies!

You are on your own. The Army is MIA and our government is gone! There are no communications of any kind. Cities and towns have gone dark, and zombies fill the streets. The dead have risen and it would seem to be the end of the world. Help me, Mommy!

Battlebots/Robot Wars Bots VS Zombies!

Unread post by GaredBattlespike »

Greetings!

I have an idea; What if a Bot-Building Survivor (College Skills Package?) built a Zed-Killing Saw-Bot, and used remote control to send it out to "Cut some Zed's down to size!" ? What about it? Can DR Zombies (especially those without eyes) even see a Bot? It's not alive, so no Glow/Aura. It just cruises along til the cam on it shows the nearest Zed. Then the operator revs-up the cuttting saw (Think NIGHTMARE in the Arena) and just rolls into the Zed!

I think this will work in total stealth, until the Weapon is turned on or the Zed is hit, THEN it will notice the non-living thing! The other Zeds may or may not notice the Bot, but that Saw/Disk weapon will make very short work of any flesh target. Other designs will doutless evolve to best kill Zombies, because, even if the Bot is swarmed cuz it's moving, YOU-the Operator are SAFE! The worst is that a Bot was sacrificed to tear-up a Zed, rather than risk a Human life. I say build 'em, turn 'em loose and watch the replays safe in your Haven.

What do you think?

Greetings!

19 Views and NOBODY has an opinion as to weather or not Zombies can see/sense Unmanned/Remotely Operated vehicles?
No opinion as to how much damage a Saw/Disk will do?
No opinion as to how the Zombies will react to a moving, but non-living object?

No opinions? Really?

I think it's pretty ****ing brilliant.

I'd say that the zeds could see it, but they wouldn't have any real incentive to attack it unless the just attack anything that moves.
Even if they DO attack it, they won't know how to fight it effectively; they'll just try to bite it, and that won't work well against saw blades.

A properly armored Battle Bot could be a very good anti-zombie weapon.

Make a giant version of Ziggo, and you could fill the streets with zombie pieces (until it tore itself up).

Bloody Brilliant! :ok:

As prior posters have postulated, even if the zombies do go after the thing NO risk of life and have fun chewing on the blade, zed!

I would say use the purely saw based idea as a prototype to see if the zeds do go after it despite lack of life signs, they may just end up destroying it. I'm sure it is much more resource intensive to make a 'bot capable of properly utilizing a firearm, so no sense in possibly wasting a valuable gun.

I say once more:

Bloody Brilliant! :ok:

Brilliant but making it would generate alot of noise, the resourses are not really useful for anything better.
Build it with a periscope and its excellent for recon as well.
Although the robotwars bots lack in the off road capacity.
