Clamp is a robot type that focuses its efforts on grabbing, holding and controlling its opponent in battle.
The Clamp is either used as a method of offense such as overturning (vertical clamp) or moving into arena hazards/ pits/ out of play, or used as a method of holding an opponent in one place as a means of bringing other weapons into play, either as part of the clamp itself or as a separate weapon.
Notable RA2 examples:
- Wrecking Crew - Vertical Clamp (first Clamp robot to win a tournament, BOTM November 2009)
- Fight or Flight - Vertical Clamp (first known DSL Clamp robot)
- Guard Duty - Vertical Clamp (first DSL Clamp robot in an AI pack)
- Little Metal Friend - Horizontal Clamp (powered by servos in theory, but the AI bindings were changed.)
- That Darn Dustpan! - Vertical Clamp (replica. It has a sawblade on the clamping arm, and uses Little Metal Friend's .py file successfully.)
- Hugs Aren't Fruit At All - Horizontal Clamp (One of the Most successful Horizontal Clamps in competition placing 3rd in Wheely Tag)
Notable Real Life examples:
- Complete Control - Vertical Clamp
- Tough as Nails - Horizontal Clamp
