       Spinning drums are weapons that consist of a cylinder which is
       spun along its axis by gears or rubber bands. They have been
       used by several bots: Minotaur, Minotaur II

       Advantages
       [list]
       [li]With a good hit, some drums can toss enemy bots upward.[/li]
       [li]Drums can serve as shields, as they are usually placed in
       front of the bot.[/li]
       [li]Against wedgeless hammer bots, drums can cause the enemy to
       roll over you, thus missing with their hammer and potentially
       damaging themselves, as demonstrated in Minotaur II's first two
       matches against BETA

       Disadvantages
       [list]
       [li]Drums are not very destructive. They usually do not do much
       damage.[/li]
       [li]These weapons are sometimes fragile, and so are weak against
       direct hits. Both types of drum are easily disabled.[/li]
       [li]Most spinning drums have very short attack range.[/li]
       [li]A drum can cause a bot to flip against a wedge if it rolls
       up it.[/li]
