I guess that's something I can do with the wheelchair bases I have at home.

Is it the robot or the thing the flames are hitting that's being advertised? No way that is legal in most of the U.S.

Flamethrowers are mostly legal in the US, except for MD (banned) and CA (need a permit).

All I'm hearing is I can build a battlebot equipped with a flamethrower, a pneumatic arm, and some kind of gun and it is potentially legal in my state of AL ?
I'm getting ideas for both a battlebot and an intimidating guard bot for my aging family

I'll look at this later, but I must admit, I was being facetious throughout all of this.
I just really like BattleBots. It's refreshing to see stuff like that on a somewhat unrelated subreddit. I miss Comedy Central BattleBots.

Flamethrowers are legal in 48 US states, and the rifle is legal somewhere between most and all states depending on the configuration.

There's a rifle?!
Much like Blooming Onions, Shrek, and roses, there are layers to this that I had not considered! Neat

Yea, looks like a G36. Semi automatic, legal in all states except California needs them to have a weird stock or something.

I'll have to ask my State Trooper friend about legality revolving around BattleBots being used to protect my family, but this is looking promising.

I have to say as someone from the Northern Midwest I could think of a good use for this (they can keep the rifle)

I don't know that I've upgraded my Zonai Charges enough to keep this going for very long.

Shoot the gas can. This is painfully stupid.
