Jaws are gripping weapons that function similarly to pincers. The best true jaw-wielding robot would statistically be Pitbull from the Third Wars, or three time heat finalist S.M.I.D.S.Y.

DefinitionEdit

Jaws function in the same way as pincers, except that they are usually not designed to be capable of damaging the opponent, more as clamping.

Advantages and DisadvantagesEdit

Advantages

• Their strength is that they can easily have multiple purposes, like doubling up as lifting weapons, with Lambsy and S.M.I.D.S.Y. as examples.
• They can also facilitate pushing other robots around by keeping the foe's wheels off the ground while clamped onto the opponent.

• Of all clamping weapons, they restrict movement the best, as was shown in the bout between Pitbull and Fire Storm. Despite being bounced by the arena spike, Pitbull managed to continue its hold on Fire Storm.

Disadvantages

• On the other hand, their weakness is that they are not designed to cause as much damage to the opponent as the other types of gripping weaponry. This also makes it very difficult for jaws to score on damage points. This is shown in General Chompsalot's combat record.
• Being narrow for the most part, jaws have a limited degree of attack and are nearly always at the mercy of high power flipping weapons, as S.M.I.D.S.Y.'s loss to Chaos 2 and Lambsy's defeats to Bulldog Breed and Bigger Brother demonstrate.
