Personal Idea: MegaHeavyweight Class
« on: September 23, 2016, 04:52:15 PM »
So I was thinking about the weightclasses in general and I thought about what should be in place regarding SHW's and UHW's, as the gap for the weight jumps from 1200KGs to 5000KGs. Granted, the UHW to GHW jump in mass is larger, but no one does GHW's. So, anyways, I thought of what should happen if there was another weightclass, and I thought about the MegaHeavyweight class, where all robots can weigh from 1200.1 to 2500KGs. It might sound like a foolish idea, but considering that we have an unofficial cruiserweight class, the idea shouldn't be that farfetched.

What are your thoughts on another weight class being added into the game?

Things like this have been discussed. Problem is, nobody builds above Heavyweight regularly anyway, pointless having even more categories up there so that builds in each category are even more sparse.

A category like that already exists inofficially, was discussed in the official weight class thread. Back then the argument was that if you're going over SHW you might as well put the effort to use up to 5000kg, but I would find a 2500kg group good as well.
