Conveyor belts

Conveyor Belts were the least conventional type of lifting weaponry. Equipped to a wedge shape, the goal of a conveyor belt was to pull other robots up and over the wedge. Several roboteers used chainsaw chains in place of belts with the hope of snagging and tearing an opponent's underside. Conveyor belts proved to be one of the least effective weapons in Robot Wars; during the seven-year run there was never a televised case of a robot successfully picking up an opponent with a conveyor belt.

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.
