Idea for test arena
« on: January 30, 2007, 07:31:05 PM »
It would be cool of we had the option to spawn an object that is easy to get under that weighed 250, 400, 800 kg so we can test flipping power.

There's already the test flip dummy. But that kind of things would help things a bit.

Ever tried flipping the car?  That's 5,000,000 kgs, and a LW flipper can toss it.  It's something to do with it being all one object; it's easier to move with hinges.  So, accurate flipping objects wouldn't really work.  They would consistently overrepresent your flipping power.

The Flip Test Dummy bot in the Scrappers team is a good measure for relative flipping power--it's easy to get under, and you can throw it high.
