Robots Types

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Other just seems too wide a class.

[Naryar]

FBS is a bot with drive on a HS and spins the chassis on itself while the drive keeps immobile ! We already said that over 9000 times when Sparkey was n00bing around in this thread !

Other just seems too wide a class.

only if there is no subclasses..  which there is subclasses (as in my list)

if you really want to get technical

Spinners
Bursts (piston or motor)
Sit and Spin
Static
Projectile

same thing as before just 5 classes instead of 4

Sparkey was on a whole different brain stream with that though :P

FBS (follows an opponant while spinning, either with additional drive or FBS.py)

its already covered.. they are considered the same IRL, just a different means of movement, WhyPout IRL was an FBS and my Evolve in RA2 using servo drive was an FBS.

[Naryar]

Main classes -

Spinners
Burst motors
Burst pistons
Rammers
SnS

That is quite all. Now we should use secondary and tertiary classes as well...

[JoeBlo]

why dont when just use the Bases for the componants in the game plus Static ? cant debate with that.. then add the subclasses

BurstMotor
BurstPiston
SpinMotor (spinners)
Static (which includeds Rammers, SnS, Crawler, etc)

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Are flails under un-powered "SpinMotors"?

[Naryar]

That nearly pleases me... but crawlers are certainly not static !!!

Flails, as awkward as that might sound, are under static if not on motors, and under spinner if on motors.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Flails=Axles=Unpowered Spin motors=Spin Motors

[Naryar]

But they are unpowered... what about a flail rammer being put in the spinner category ? That makes no sense.

Same thing for making a rammer out of skirt hinges. (aka Raving MAD). Does that needs to be put in the burst category ?

[Squirrel_Monkey]

That's the problem, what are flail inertia flippers?

[Naryar]

Unpowered weapons (hence why unpowered weapons in better than static weapons as a first class)

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Unpowered weapons (hence why unpowered weapons in better than static weapons as a first class)

What about 2 even more general classes.
Unpowered and powered weaponry?
