A couple of questions

This is a call out for any rules you want to be changed, so far I have:
- Competitors have to be Vapourbots
- The weight limits are:
- 100kg for wheeled robots (e.g. Tornado)
- 120kg for shufflers (e.g. Son of Whyachi)
- 150kg for ‚Ëœtrue‚„ walkers (e.g. Anarchy)
- No flying robots are permitted
- No purely passive robots are permitted (inc. bots with interchangeable wedges and the like.) However, this doesnt not include machines with Stinger-style weaponry as it actually swings.
- Clusterbots are permitted, with no limit to the number of parts (but lets keep things realistic here ). I will also be using the rule that if 50% of the cluster is out, all of it is out.
- There will be 4 set-ups only allowed for interchangeable robots
- 60 Volt limit

(nic... borrowed from steve)

So can anyone suggest any changes to the rules?

If not, sign-ups will start before the months out.

Qustion on the set-up rule:

1) Would me mountign slammers jaws horizontally or vertically (same weapon, slightly different position) could as one set-up or two?

2) What weight category do the followign fall into: a) cheeky boy legs, b) tracks and c) screws

3) Is the cluster rule 50% by mass/weight/volume or 50% of bots?

What weight category do the followign fall into: a) cheeky boy legs, b) tracks and c) screws

a)Cheeky boy legs are just a waste of time... youll need the weight to get anywhere with them
b)Tracks, EOs disgression....
c)Screws, when I actually think about it, are more like an omni directional design, they continously rotate to travel like a wheel so I would say the screw method of travelling deserves a wheeled weight limit, nothing more.

Just my 2 + GST

A couple of questions

1 - I will call it as one

2 - Cheeky Boy legs will come under the 150kg limit; Tracks and screws both come underneath the 100kg limit.

3 - 50% by number

Not much more so than anarchy, but they ar3e far mroe manouverable.

b)Tracks, EOs disgression....

And that is why I was asking.

c)Screws, when I actually think about it, are more like an omni directional design, they continously rotate to travel like a wheel so I would say the screw method of travelling deserves a wheeled weight limit, nothing more.

Shush! no one else has noticed! *looks inconpicuous*

A couple of questions

I dont agree with the passive weapons rule. That means half the robots cant enter including things like rammers and translational spinners that use their drive as a weapon. Although the rules say nothing about having no weapon, just no passive ones... :wink: Then you get into the bother of people having an active and passive weapon on their robots. Its a whole lot easier to just let passive weaponry be permitted in my opinion.

A couple of questions

Ok, the anti-passive rule will go...

*Sees 16 passive box wedges enter*

A couple of questions

I certainly wont be entering a rammer because you seem to be unfond of them and write them out of your tournaments in stupid ways.

Make that 15... well under 15 I should think.
