New Bot Idea

While were on the topic of introducing new bots, we should incorporate a chassis that can hold two reactors. Since none of the other current bots have this feature, it would make a good prototype bot that had to be won from achieving some kind of award in tals.

could just be energy uplink bot. then you dont have to worry about big reactors on other bots. Just put massive drain deflection on the dual reactor bot

Doesn't seem to be much of a point to add dual reactors, a bot similar to power matrix/warship hulls could be made instead, i.e. massive pretty much undrainable reactor that only shares energy from its recharge per turn.

So then basically it would be a bot similar to sent/seer but instead it would project a magnetic field of energy based on a percentage of the reactor its equipped with that can be shared among its teammates. That kinda makes sense, but there would have to be larger reactors available for that bot to make it seem worthwhile. Perhaps this could be a new bot available after you've upgraded to a 10 bot squad workshop, that way you wouldn't have to sacrifice a bot in delta/alpha to train it.
