Lifting scoops

Lifting Scoops were similar to lifters in that they wouldn't flip a robot off the ground, but were more designed to tip robots over than lifters were. The only scoop robot to succeed in flipping out an opponent was Behemoth, which was also the most notable of them. Other notable scoops include Shunt, the original G.B.H. and Panzer Mk 4.

Definition

 * The key definition in this type of weapon is the term lifting. Many static scoops existed as auxiliary or even primary weapons (such as Scutter's Revenge) but did not posses lifting capacity. Therefore, they are classified as Ramming Blades.
 * A lifting scoop must be a mobile weapon, usually designed to tip a robot over in the same way as a lifter, rather than propelling a robot into the air like flippers. However, some robots managed to convert lifting scoops into powerful flipping weapons, such as Barbaric Response or Diotoir.

Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages
 * Scoops were easily able to lift and tip over other robots because of their size.

Disadvantages
 * They were not effective as self-righting mechanisms; none of the scoop robots could self-right without an auxiliary srimech.
