Shieldbots



=Weapon Overview= The Shieldbots are a weapon of the Bot variety. Instead of expending a set amount of ammo before they explode, the Shieldbots absorb a number of enemy shots before being destroyed. Their quick deployment rate and tankiness makes them a fantastic defensive asset, but they have the obvious drawback of lacking any sort of offensive capabilities. Another drawback to the Shieldbot is it's inability to shield against laser based attacks. One last thing to note is the fact that the Shieldbot will actually block your projectiles as well (needs verification for energy weapons).

=Weapon Strategy= Shieldbots can be used in a number of ways to prevent taking damage. The most obvious way to utilize them is to put them in the way of enemy projectiles before they touch your ship. In addition to this, you can stay inside the Shieldbot and use it as you would an actual Shield.
