    That's the best spelling nitpick I've seen in two weeks. Moderators, please moderate it as funny, not offtopic. (Moderators should be required to pass a humor test before they're allowed to moderate something offtopic.)

    You arn't using the fuel-air mixture directly as a weapon, you're using it to produce a puff of air.

    In all seriousness I suspect that this would have little actual utility against a well-armored bot with a low center of gravity.

    Make a one meter version of this, dump a fuel-air mixture into it, light it and knock over the other bots from across the ring.

    AMEN!!

    As a Linux newbie I find Google often is unhelpful as I have no idea what search terms are significant.

    If I want to determine how much free space is on my hard drive what terms should I search for on Google?

    Could you fork it instead and let users decide if your new tar is better than the original?

    I concur!!

    Try googleing for "SCCS" looking for a simple one-paragraph description of what it is. (I don't want to read a second man page to understand the first one, recursion is not a good thing in this situation.) Even if there is a newbie friendly description you won't know which of the two most likely SCCSs is the one you need. (There is a version control system, and some sort of configuration management tool, according to my recently completed Google search, in addition to a great many organizations with those initials.)
