As I've said often, the element I as a Grineer engineer would use the most against Corpus robotics is shock. This makes a lot of sense. The placement and unholy power don't. Besides, there is the proc that stuns.

If you play against Corpus, you will notice them zerging up on you a lot. I've wasted over 1400 enemies on a Venus Capture once. Pretend to be a Grineer Lancer, use a low-ranked Hind and shoot enemies from cover with accurate burst-fire. Their return fire is not the problem, grenades only mildly. The waves of MOAs and drones flushing you out of cover are the threat, that's what the Corpus designed the MOAs for, running at you without fear and trampling you. That's where the Grineer mind would start rattling: How can I stop those MOA rushes? With traps that shock them so I can safely shoot them from my cover.

The way it's made is stupid and "unrealistic" even for a space ninja magic universe. But the basic idea of placing shock traps against robots is intuitive and makes sense for a Grineer arsenal.
