@[2up]knorke,
both
of
these
rigs
are
using
gasoline
engines
(
Kuratas
is
diesel,
Mk
II
is
actually
a
Honda)
to
power
hydraulic
pumps,
and
also
have
on-board
CO2
for
powering
the
paintball/airsoft
guns.
It's
easy
to
imagine
Kuratas
applying
full
brakes,
digging
in,
and
extending
a
pole/lance/strut/fist-like
module
to
deliver
a
good
shot.

You're
right
that
both
would
lose
to
really
any
piece
of
construction
machinery,
though.

@[Fx]Drone, look at the short length of the tracks compared to the height of the cockpit. You have a mechanical advantage if you push at the top. Aiming towards the top will give you good leverage, and if the Mk II has forward momentum in its treads, it will actually be [i]easier[/i] to tip over backwards (bottom goes forward, but top is constrained by the "fist", causing an incline), and feasibly propel itself into that state.

Speaking of battle bots, a retro flipper module would make an easy old-school win for the Kuratas :)
