Title says it all.
After losing most of my bots due to a sibling being a hateful idiot, I also lost a half-built HW wammer. So I went out for a walk today and was thinking about ideas for Kos's tournament and I wanted to make something different so I thought about making a Clamp. So I now ask; does anyone have ideas on how to make an at least semi-effective clamp?

take some ideas in there.
can have a look at that as well https://wiki.gametechmods.com/index.php?title=Guard_Duty (https://wiki.gametechmods.com/index.php?title=Guard_Duty)
or maybe that

it all depends what kind of clamp do you want to make, horizontal, vertical, FoF-style (aka bursts on bursts)?

I'm thinking of something along the lies of Guard Duty but another good idea would be to make a Stock version of Fight or Flight and combine it with a wammer rack as well. I just don't know how to pull it off with the weight hence why I would some help in brainstorming.

Wammer + Clamp doesn't really work. You'd be better off going with a flipper + wammer.

Hardly something I can teach you... though yes weight ends up a problem in clamps. You'll probably need to sacrifice some armor strength (hint: don't sacrifice drivetrain)

Here's a quick prototype; basically heres how it would work.
1. Robot drives up flipper and flipper gets fired.
2. Robot is thrown up and gets damaged by irons spikes on the wamming rack.
3. Hammer fires and robot is now clamped receiving damage from both wamming rack and hammer.
4. Robot gets released as it goes skyward.
I'm also taking inspiration from Click's Cheshire Cat because of the snowplows at the sides and front. (As a matter of fact it one of my main inspirations to make a clamp in the first place.)

it looks like a hammer/wammer hybrid to me, not exactly a clamp...
