just remove the anti-ballasts after you're done building...

Use all the antiballast you want as long as your finished bot does not go over 800kg

Does two weapons class as two snow plows?
Title: Re: BOTM Febuary 2012
Post by: cephalopod on January 03, 2012, 04:38:33 AM
2 weapons systems. 2 snow plows are not 2 different weapons systems.

A plow is not even a weapon .... they do no damage.

Must have 8 wheels (no more ... no less)
Must have at least one snow plow (light, medium, heavy, or steel)
So basically all the robots are going to look like Iceberg:

This should be interesting.

No, Iceberg would not have the 2 weapon systems and would be DQed.

Actually, I had said they would "look like", implying a similar design to, Iceberg and not "Everyone robot will be an Iceberg replica".

I doubt that we are allowed to make a 4-wheeled bot with 4 more wheels on top, though

So, would Diesector be classed as 2 weapon systems or 1? (example to get my brain into gear)
