- It consists of a crane-like arm which picks up small objects by the user manipulating two attached joysticks.
- Its shape resembles industrial robots of the 1980s, though it is strictly user-controlled, with no automation built in.
- The arm has six degrees of freedom: wrist rotation, vertical wrist flexing, horizontal elbow bending, shoulder horizontal rotation, shoulder elevation, and the opening and closing of the two-fingered end-effector.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Armatron article was read about 7,600 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 44 and blocks with 19: each hit it takes is cut by 8 %.
