Talk:Bladed axes

I have made corrections to the information on this page based upon personal experience and the experience of fellow previous RW competitors who i know from my time spent with them at various events. However it seems that the OP does not agree with actual facts that have been experienced and witnessed during robotic combat and has removed my comments. I was attempting to be helpful in adding the info that i did. So please read my comments below for a little more of a balanced view on axe damage from the people that actually have experience on the subject rater that just saying that they are not an effective KO weapon. -
 * A bladed axe can be an efficient KO weapon, as it can transfer a great amount of kinetic energy spread over a relatively large surface area which has been known to knock items loose, or damage internals. Terrorhurtz was the only robot to do this successfully on the TV. However this kind of shock immobilization has been seen many times in the Roaming Robots arenas by such machines as Thor Iron Awe and Tomahawk.


 * Visible penetration of a bladed axe is easily stopped by strong armor, as shown in Terrorhurtz's loss to Tornado although Tornado has has been defeated in live events by several axe attacks due to massive kinetic energy shock transfer - usually the power link was knocked out.


 * So in summary, although the damage may not appear great on the surface panels from a broad bladed axe attack as they do by a piercing point axe attack, actual damage may have been caused deeper within the machine to electronics, motors, valving components and structural chassis members. If a machine is therefore subjected to sustained blows of this type it can eventually lead to a break down.

This has been witnessed many times in live events and i have numerous pieces of footage showing this.
