Hm... very restrictive this month... could be interesting to see what results come out of it. I might even enter...

Now this is a challenge. =] I really like the restricting components idea.

Dino, your so funny.

Still...
Despite the fact I don't use DSL, the rules for this month's competition seem interesting, as they are rather restrictive.

Also, I get the feeling people will mount the [other weapon] off the hammer, and claim it as being 2-in-1.

The no tri-bars rule is random, but seems like it should be a good one.

Not unless they want to be DQ'ed ......that would just be adding weapons to the hammer and not meeting the rules!

You do and I will kick you butt so bad you will sh** down your leg every time you see a pony!

Stupid Question Time TM

Is the "hammer" hammer component such as the sledge hammer or is it a hammer type robot?

Couldn't keep a straight face with this post xD

I did have a bot to enter but my DSL-TC crashed so I'm still trying to figure out how to get it working again...

I bet that no-one is gonna have one that's similar to mine.  :mrgreen:

You're not supposed to tell people that you've entered either. We all got a right verbal spanking from ACAMS a couple of months ago for doing that.

I don't think you'll be disqualified for it, though, it's just contravening the secretive aspect of it. =) Sometimes people can tell entrants from the splash, I've had this pitfall a couple of times, as have a few other members.

Because everyone has there own certain building style that differs from everyone else just enough to be able to tell who made what.

I think that is my personal favorite thing about RA2. Click and Firebeetle look different from Sage and Pwnator. Starcore is different from Lugica and Acams definetly isn't RFS.

Hey, what exactly qualifies as one other weapon system? If I want my second system to be, say, side hammers (which requires one burst motor on each side to be effective) can I do that?
Title: Re: BOTM Sept 2011
Post by: Badnik96 on August 08, 2011, 11:47:40 PM
well all bots need an overhead hammer weapon, I think maybe a side hammer counts I dunno
Title: Re: BOTM Sept 2011
Post by: NFX on August 09, 2011, 02:46:38 AM
I think you can have anything you like, as long as it has six wheels and an overhead hammer.

Post by: NFX on August 09, 2011, 07:00:24 AM
I like the rules this time. =) Makes it much more of a challenge rather than a "build what you like" one, where the majority seems to pump out something generic, and then a giraffe wins.

That would work, technically you could have one razor tip sticking out the back of your bot to meet the rules, but that would not be very impressive tho, now would it.

How is that a bad thing? It just makes the BOTM more interesting.

Because I found a 2 year old robot that I could make a splash for.. and I never pass up the opportunity to make a splash :P
