Hey Mystic, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that a walker's speed can go over 5 points

No. You will not troll the walkers in this competition. If you do, I will bring a complete trollbot next year

Question: would robots with a drive mechanism that uses two independent and noncontinuous planes of motion (i.e. running the motor continuously will not make the robot move or spin continuously), but uses gyroscopic forces or torque from a spinning weapon for some part of attitude control or motion qualify for the walker bonus?

I believe you just explained Wreks in the most complicated way possible, and I think the answer to that would be no then, since it is movement by gyroscopic procession.

Cha0s Ferret disagrees with me though, so probably best to have Monsterworks have the final say here :P

If you mean something like Wrecks from Battlebots, then I would have thought it was a walker myself. There's a smaller bot in around the 3lb class somewhere with a similar system, but its name escapes me at the moment, I think Badnik showed us a video of it at some stage.

Wrecks only had one non-weapon motion plane, though.

Goddammit, you're gonna make me have to come up with rules for this, since there's definitely nothing in the ARC rules. So this is what I'd put forward for the time being:

1) Let's see a render and a reasonably detailed (but not essay length) description, in English that most of us plebs can understand. Something similar to what I did for Euphoberia Ferox.

2) For all motivation systems that have not appeared onARC before, I'll need to see proof of concept (again, like I provided for EF).

3) Finally, for now I'd say that it doesn't qualify for the walker bonus. However, since it has no drive train, per se, it doesn't need to spend points there. It simply receives an automatic drive train bonus based upon the power of the weapon/mechanism used. This is provisional only and metrics and specifics will be worked out later. The reason for this is that it simply doesn't move like normal robots do. Traction and torque simply can't apply in the same way.
