Heh, first read this title and thought, no way am i using my whips on a robot, the metal is sure to have sharp edges and i dont want my whip getting cut up and ruined
plus would look kinda dumb, whipping on a robot thats shooting at you, kinda like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Then read and it was rather interesting, i would probably get into it if this idea were to be implemented, i just dont see it happening though
