Circular saws

Circular Saws were saws designed for cutting into a robot. These differed from cutting discs in that they were designed purely to cut through opponents in a designated pathway. The most famous of Circular Saws is Dead Metal's, but original UK Champion Roadblock, and its successor, Beast of Bodmin, both used circular saws to good effect.

However, like chainsaws, circular saws became very inefficient after robots began to feature heavy, thick armour. Very few robots were given true circular saw weapons, despite some roboteers and Robot Wars staff referring to various other rotating discs as such.

Definition

 * A circular saw is a flat disc weapon. The key defining factor is that it must have serrated edges, as opposed to teeth that feature on other types of rotating weapon.

Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages
 * Circular saws are very readily available, making them cheap yet effective choices.
 * They, like the chainsaw and drill, are capable of a continuous attack. However, they tend to be much more potent than the narrow drill and unreliable chainsaw.

Disadvantages
 * They can go blunt quite easily.
 * They can dislodge themselves if not attached properly. Both Dead Metal and Brutus Maximus showed this.
