i can play with this bot right now

They come in 5 sizes and all of them are short enough to fit in a minimum height chassis (as well as put a control board/battery on top of them). Red thrusters are your standard fare boosters. Press extend to Sanic it up, the usual. Blue thrusters are more powerful and use "base = BurstPiston" instead of "base = ServoPiston". What this means is that you get larger boosts of speed out of warp boosters, at the price of it not being a constant speed boost.

I feel boosters can bring a lot to the table. You can use them to simulate floor magnets a la Bite Force, increase speed in a given direction, make a helicopter, or just fling yourself into the air like this is Super Mario or something. Before anyone asks, you can make a robot that entirely uses thrusters for movement, but it'll be a complete pain in the ass to control and aim at your opponent.  :dumb)

Here's a roughly 500kg robot getting under Search & Destroy XL, a SHW:

and here's the same robot, but with warp boosters, slamming into the Octagon's invisible ceiling:

You can also make designs that counter existing bot archetypes. What's a popup to do when you use thrusters to just push yourself off it's wedge? Or how about a SnS that gets hopped on by another robot? Or a HS that gets box rushed by a pain train of thrusters and car steering?
It should be noted, however, that thrusters are fairly heavy and require a reliable supply of gas. So don't just go and slap one on any old robot and think that it'll be instantly better because of it. Hint: it won't. This isn't like those dumb OP ironforge flamethrowers that autowin DPS fights for you. You have to put some thought into it and decide if you would actually benefit from a thruster or two. Thrusters are also exclusive to Extreme Mode (aka cheatbot2). I'll get you guys to use cheatbot2 one of these days.
it very cool

Figures. Also what is a WenXiangLee and why is it here?

Let's just hope that Naryar doesn't go power crazy again with his Global Moderator power again.
Where did that come from?

Also, I made a new thread!
