Trivia
- Out of all main and sub weapons, the Carbon Roller has the fastest one-hit-splat time, going through the motion of a single flick in 11 frames (less than a quarter a second).
- The Carbon roller is the only non-Brush Roller weapon that does not crush / splat with a single hit while rolling over the opponent.
- The Carbon Roller is designed after a bicycle's bottle cage, with the water bottle used as the weapon's reservoir.
Etymology
Carbon refers to Carbon fiber, a very light material from which the Carbon Roller is apparently made. Many bicycle frames are made of carbon fiber, which alludes to the possibility that the Carbon Roller was made from salvaged bicycle parts.
