When I first started watching BattleBots my mind jumped to three weapons strategies that no one seemed to be employing. They seemed so effective that I suspected the strategies were explicitly disallowed in the rules. I downloaded the Technical Regulations [pdf].
Not only are all three strategies disallowed, they are disallowed in the same sub-subsection:
11.4.1 Electricity
Electricity or electric fields may not be used directly as a weapon. This includes, but is not limited to:
a. Stun guns and cattle prods.
b. Radio jamming equipment.
c. Electro-Magnetic Pulse output.
