So I'm thinking of changing the stats for Compound Fracture from: Speed 7, Torque 5, Traction 4, Weapon 3, Armor 11 (+1 wedge, -2 everywhere else). To: Speed 7, Torque 3, Traction 5, Weapon 5, Armor 10 Am I correct that with a weapon power of 5, the lifter would have a weapon armor of 12? Also, is i...

Not sure how much my opinion's worth as a new user, but personally I'd go with the definition of aggression used by RoboGames: <blockquote class='quote_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd>&nbsp;</dd></dl><div>15.2.2.1. Scoring Aggression Aggression scoring will be based on the relative amount of ...

Yeah... you're probably better off using a frustrum (truncated cone, eg. Megabyte) shaped robot with no armor bonuses: with no corners, 9 armor will tank a few hits from most spinners. Alternately, you could try something like omnidirectional drive, or even mount the weapon on a turret. Also THREE m...

Dear Everyone:

Please stop. You're going to get walkers banned before I can enter my crazy walking crusher design, and I need that sweet, sweet point bonus.

So, I'd like a quick clarification on the walker rules. According to the wiki, a walker is: <blockquote class='quote_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd>&nbsp;</dd></dl><div>any robot that moves by contact with the floor other than that outlined under section A. Also, no individual component of t...

Wait... so, it's a ring spinner, that can also angle the spinner?

How the heck does that work? Can we see some diagrams?

Wait... is that thing supposed to be a vertical or horizontal spinner? I honestly can't tell. IMO walkers should fall under this rule: <blockquote class='quote_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd>&nbsp;</dd></dl><div>Also, if you plan on using uncommon technology (i.e. Hydraulics, Omni-drive, Tur...

Just a quick tip: 15-16 armor isn't really necessary unless someone enters something ridiculous like that 18 WEP walking overhead spinner that was in the Hammerfall bot showcase thread. Right now your MW and SHW entries are going to have serious trouble dealing with most of the non-spinners in the s...

Hey all. Like several of the other new signups, I got here from Hammerfall. I didn't do terribly well, but for some reason I didn't learn my lesson and showed up here with even more semi-serious "Hey, you know what would be really cool?" robots. Admittedly, most of these don't rely on aren...
