Re: Randomness

I'm not posting just to get the 100th page or anything, what a preposterous thought!

Re: Randomness

Have seen that video as well; gyroscopic procession is the technical name for it and it looks rather cool. But the last I heard, the RFL were re-writing the rules to remove GP robots from gaining a walker weight bonus, saying it's not a true walker.
I can sort of see their point about it not being a walker, but it's no wonder there are so few about. Every time someone comes up with something different the rules are subject to change to de-classify it unless it's a complete true walker. I thought the setup Anarchy used was very effective and was suitably walker-like to qualify for the full weight bonus but it just seems, from an observer's point of view, that because it wasn't slow and vulnerable like every other walker, that form of motive transmission was deemed to fall under the shuffling class (or whatever the correct name for it is) and no longer qualified for the full weight bonus allocation.

And I disagree with them. It has 2 independent parts providing the walking motion, and is not a crankshaft driven device.

Re: Randomness

I would agree with Leo on this.

First I would like to see the idea prove it gave an unfair advantage before action was taken, this could be a significant advance to the robot scene, so lets develop it.

Unless we are all happy with the armour plated snails like TRON (it's my robot ) running around the place

Re: Randomness

I have been following this guy's progress on his walker for a bit now.

After making Pilgrim, I know how frustrating walkers can be, remember if your not as crazy as him when you start, you will be when you finish

I am looking forward to seeing his robot when it's finished.
