Title: Difference between a Clamp bot and a Snare bot.
Post by: Redalert on April 08, 2019, 10:12:30 AM
This may seem unnecessary, but it needs to be discussed.

There appears to be a struggle when it comes to identifying the difference between a Snare and a Clamp.

First off- A Clamp grabs and holds, a Snare bites, and releases. There is NO grabbing and holding action in a Snare.
Second-
A Clamp will grab and hold an opponent for a short period of time before releasing it.
A Snare will "snap" down on an opponent and then immediately release the opponent.

Third- You can think of a Snare as a hybrid of a Hammer and a Clamp, that attacks like a snake- striking and biting an opponent, and then letting go.
A Clamp will bite an opponent for about 10-15 times in a match, or 5-10 times if it's a crusher.
A Snare will repeatedly fire its jaw mechanism for up to 30 times in a match, like a hammer.

An IRL Snare can be identified by how it attacks- it will repeatedly raise and lower its claw, jaw, or whatever at a rapid rate, without actually grabbing opponents.

An Unrealistic Snare is basically a combination of a true popup and a hammer.

Snares also have a small "arm" or flipper concept that throws an opponent into the air before slamming it with the hammer-like weapon (jaw, claw, whatever.)

Any more questions or opposing thoughts, please post here

Can you just show a video of a clamp and a snare?

What you call a snare is what we call a clamp in RA2. What you call a clamp is what we call a crusher. At least I think so, judging by your definitions.

Yeah er hi

Snare isn't a real bot type and if it was I invented it first.

Thank you and good night

I think it may be different from what you're thinking, but...
When did you invent it?

...and yes, I'll post a vid of a Clamp, and a vid of a Snare.

Clamp and snare are the same thing. Again we have more experience in ra2 than you do, also whoever it is just stop it its getting boring

That's something I'm looking into- are Snares really that different from clamps, or are they just modified clamps?

I know you guys have more experience in RA2, and I really respect that.


Let's just say Snares are modified Clamp bots. There's nothing special about them. End of discussion, I don't want to start another argument, please.

Haha!

You, sir, have just been pranked!

Botchoy 2 was actually a bot built by RedAce for the RA2 IRL pack which was released way before you joined. By saying it is a snare you confirming that you, in fact, did not create the snare.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I will see myself out

So I was correct that the snare exists, but I didn't know it already existed before I came to the forum.

...and I already knew you were pranking me, I was just going along with it.

Okay, this bot has to be a BOTM entry.

I'll find something else to invent...

the fun is in just building stuff that doesn't challenge the meta but that requires creativity to make. You dont have to invent something to impress people.

because you're just re-naming an already existing bot type

but do whatever makes you feel good on the inside (aka drugs)
