Author Topic: SHW class limit (Read 6245 times)

i have been thinking for some time that we should standardize the SHW class for RA2. after trying for some time i cant think of a better way then to add 500 Kg to the HW limit of 800. thuse i think that the SHW class should weigh no more the 1300Kg and no less then 800.1. let me know what you guys think.

I totally agree for standardizing.

Perhaps more... SC3's SHWs are near 3500 kg each, but I will recommend 1500 kg. Any time I built a SHW it was in the 1300-1400 size.

ok sounds good as long as most of us agree on it.

My SuperHeavyWeight is too heavy I guess....

this is a dumb idea.

Flying_Chao · « **Reply #5 on:** May 20, 2008, 02:11:43 PM »

It is also pointless, as there is very few superheavyweights anyway.

70 CUDA · « **Reply #6 on:** May 20, 2008, 02:31:16 PM »

if we can make it a real class we can have tournys and have some real stuff to judge them on. i have about 20 SHW but i dodnt post them as theres no rules yet.

Flying_Chao · « **Reply #7 on:** May 20, 2008, 02:45:18 PM »

How about calling them MegaHeavyWeights, and letting SuperHeavyWeight refer to the super heavy ones that are too heavy to be in the weight class?

LMAO!

I agree with CUDA, Id like to see SHW tournies and we could showcase them "officially" as a normal weight class.

This is actually a good idea FC, but i dont really like the MHW name...

i think you got the names backerds FC. lol

Then what I to say?... :lol:
With my above 7000kg hahahahah...
But i made some new better bots that are around ~ 3500...
So im for that: that SHW bots must be between 800 and 3500 !
But you forgot one very small thing...
Loading time !
So better judge bots by him not by how they weight...
I found also that not weight make bots loading a lot but puting many parts on one part... For example the infinite was loading for ~2 min almos ready and when i just add few spinners now is 30 min so...
Complicated weapons make lag not many parts or weight...
Why dont you try to make bots with many parts and big weight,but without many parts attached to each other and will see what happen then...
For example bots with complicated weapons like bots that are with waepons close to "no more than 7 parts att. rule" are too lagy even that they are HW!

7000kg bots suck. Make a very good LW, this is the proof of greatness.

70 CUDA · « **Reply #12 on:** May 20, 2008, 05:32:58 PM »

ok i see that you guys dont get the point of limiting a class.im all for 3500kg but even that seems a bit to much of a leap from HW to SHW.

Sage · « **Reply #13 on:** May 20, 2008, 05:49:04 PM »

whats wrong with posting them. the point of a SHW is to put as much as absolutely possible on there while keeping it movable. why should there be a limit?

In which case the tournament host can decide on the weight limit of the robots.

70 CUDA · « **Reply #15 on:** May 20, 2008, 06:23:23 PM »

the main reason i wanted to do this is that it is a real life wight class. we have AW and BW so i thought that it would be nice.

Madiaba · « **Reply #16 on:** May 20, 2008, 07:20:55 PM »

I think we SHOULD have SHW class, esp for Tourneys. It would logically be nicer if it were set in stone, because then you could work on it/them anytime. Perhaps a consensus of members,..... And periodically the Host could do K-3's suggestion too.

Flying_Chao · « **Reply #17 on:** May 20, 2008, 08:54:21 PM »

Perhaps one limit that is around 801-1800 and another around 1801-4000, and everything above is considered GigaHeavyWeight (or another name).... That way, the starcore SHWs still fit a class, and very few bots above 4000 kg would be defeatable in a short enough time for a tournament, so there is no limit to them. (Just throwing out ideas)

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #18 on:** May 20, 2008, 09:34:36 PM »

Why make a weight for a class thats cheating? I mean really....How many people show of SHWs that you need an actual weight limit for them? Just let people make em as heavy as they want unless its a tournament and I dont think many people would make a SHW tourny.

kill343gs · « **Reply #19 on:** May 20, 2008, 10:21:48 PM »

The idea of a superheavyweight is the fact that you have no weight limit at that point. Why should we restrain this idea? If a tournament host wants to put a weight limit over the 800kg limit, so be it, but don't restrict us for something that is supposed to be open ended. (Most SHW sizes are restricted by the people's patience with the match load times anyways)
