Sorry, but electricity is typically banned as a weapon. The lance
itself would certainly be legal...but see the other post about control
being the real issue there. (To be blunt: every such lance I've seen
was too weak, or too short-ranged, to do much damage...and the ones that
would make the robot uncontrollable, got knocked out in the qualifiers
before the televised matches, from what I hear.)
