Re: Featherweights - Active weapon rule

ceri, you cant give it to yourself with your ninja sheep!

Do you mind! I had a spider picture on it too! very nice it was.

Anyway, I'd be out the running and still showing you all up. Prove me wrong - get decorating!

I consider Rust more dangerous myself.

Re: Featherweights - Active weapon rule

Just to bring some diversity to the discussion, here is the list of robot types from the RioBotz tutorial, since so far we have just been talking in terms of HP systems, spinners and Rambots.

rammers, wedges, lifters, launchers, thwackbots, overhead thwackbots, spearbots, horizontal spinners, sawbots, vertical spinners, drumbots, hammerbots, clampers, crushers, flamethrowers and multibots

Of those we can use:

Rammers (Rambots/Boxes)
Wedges
Spearbots
Thawkbots
Overhead Thwackbots
Multibots (Cluserbots)
Lifters
Launcher (Flippers)
Hammerbots (Axes)
Clampers (Grabbers)
Crushers

Half of that legal list doesn't have active weapons and a third of the total list are banned already.

Re: Featherweights - Active weapon rule

are cluster bots banned in all weight classes?

[jonny]

Re: Featherweights - Active weapon rule

cluster bots aren't banned in any weight class

Re: Featherweights - Active weapon rule

I thought that with modern flippers anything really light would go through the roof? especially with heavyweights.

Re: Featherweights - Active weapon rule

heavyweight clusterbots aren't banned they're just not allowed to fight flippers anymore. as most heavies are flippers most people tend not to build them

[mattsdragons]

Re: Featherweights - Active weapon rule

Is that rule the same for FW clusters?

[Laser]

Re: Featherweights - Active weapon rule

no is the answer to the question

heavyweight clusterbots aren't banned they're just not allowed to fight flippers anymore. as most heavies are flippers most people tend not to build them

Four wheels good, Weapons better.

Re: Featherweights - Active weapon rule

Well as a direct result of this thread I have now set out to make my first feather with an axe instead of a lifter. It's got four wheel drive too, so you better be scared! It's made of chopping boards! Terrifying right?!
