Post by: ianh05 on September 05, 2012, 11:46:00 AM
  • MUST have at least two spinner weapons (2 spin motors)
  • MUST have at least two hammer weapons (2 burst motors)
  • MUST have at least two rammer weapons (2 separately mounted weapons)


So it must have all 6? Interesting. might try this even though I haven't built a HW in years and I love myself some hybrids.

would a side hammer count as two hammer weapons ?
and would wamming racks also count as a ramming weapon ?

What is a wamming rack?
Title: Re: BOTM October 2012
Post by: Mr. AS on September 05, 2012, 02:39:15 PM
What is a wamming rack?
like a bunch of irons or razors or whatever pointing up at an angle instead of facing directly at the opponent

like so

What counts as each different kind of weapon? I understand the Hammer Head and Sledgehammer are Hammer weapons, but I'm kind of unsure about the rest

Is that yours?

Hammer weapons refers to hammer systems, IE an arm covered in razors would count as a hammer weapon.

So, is it really anything attached to the specified motors? For example, a mace could be used as a hammer weapon if attached to a burst motor?

As long as it is damaging, I guess so.

nope its nfx's, just using it as an example, only he would make a popup that small

you kind of need weapons on a hammer for it to not fail, and yes they would count, why would you even use hammer heads and sledges as weapons ?

No, but the ram plates will pass because they do damage!

I have another question

Would something attached to a piston count as a ramming weapon?
Title: Re: BOTM October 2012
Post by: Wacky Bob on September 05, 2012, 04:37:13 PM
Yeah 3 Stock BotMs in a row. I'll try to come up with something cool.

Snapper II Burst motors are AI parts right? I'm pretty sure they are, but I would like some confirmation.

You KNOW ....... you don't have to get your entry in the first day!

Luckily, you upload it again if you make changes.


On top of that .... YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY YOU UPLOADED IT FOOL .... THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE SECRET
Title: Re: BOTM October 2012
Post by: ACAMS on September 05, 2012, 08:01:59 PM
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

It has been DQ'ed ...... plows don't do damage, therefore are not weapons!


Fix it and upload it again!

  • MUST have at least two rammer weapons (2 separately mounted weapons)

You CANNOT have both rammer weapons on one extender, T, or anchor!

Ironically, I've never been good at hybrid weapons :I
I mean, I could try to make something goofy, but.....
>6 weapons
>Each has to be mounted separately
Seems rather messy, to be honest.

I dunno', I MIGHT enter this, if I ever come up with something. But that's pushing it.

Post by: J on September 08, 2012, 04:05:46 PM
Alright, I got a question.
Rules state you need 2 spin motors for your bot-
Do they exactly have to be weapons? Or can one of them be used as part of something else?
Title: Re: BOTM October 2012
Post by: ACAMS on September 08, 2012, 04:30:26 PM
Quote from: The Rules
MUST have at least two spinner weapons (2 spin motors)

It can't get much plainer!

you got to have two spinning weapons with each mounted to a separate spin motor ..... if you ad something else on it, that is up to you!
Title: Re: BOTM October 2012
Post by: J on September 08, 2012, 10:09:05 PM
So the spin weapons have to be either an HS or a VS?
Sure.

Just, the "(2 spin motors)" part made me think you would just accept anything attached to a motor, and could spin in some way.
Title: Re: BOTM October 2012
Post by: Pwnator on September 08, 2012, 10:13:29 PM
It can be chicken drills or whatever you like. Just as long as there's at least one weapon per spin motor, and there should be at least 2 motors that do that.
