Unique weapons

In Robot Wars, some robots created weapons that did not fit into any category. These are known as unique weapons.

They may still act as overhead or rotating weapons, but functioned in very different ways. The most famous unique weapons would include Mousetrap, Tentomushi and IG-88.

Definition
A unique weapon is designated by the fact that it does not act as a flipping or lifting weapon, is not an axe or hammer, not a static blade of any kind, and does not fit any of the classifications of thwackbots and rotating weapons.

Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages
 * Roboteers can often use the custom weapon to fit in with the design of their robot, for both effectiveness and entertainment. Mousetrap is the best example of both.

Disadvantages
 * It is very difficult to know whether a weapon will be effective in combat without predecessors to compare with.
