How do you come up with the dimensions, top speed, turning circle, and all that for the bots?


In any case, I highly doubt that Fedex Uno is 40 meters long.

The dimensions where only of the chassis, and 10 metres (Which I only realised should have been 40 cm after I did the first few splashes) was equivalent to one box of the gid in RA2 where we make the chassis. Ground Clearence and Turning Circle were made up.

DP: Joe, with regard to the new rules, what will be this thing's status?

Please note the intention is not to run a tournament, but to showcase to the outside world the variation in designs that RA2 has to offer.

It should be fine as bots were gathered before it was announced, not sure about next time.

I dont even know to be honest...

if people followed rules and didnt bitch like yourself we wouldnt have such a mess

its always going to cause controversy on here because its impossible to satisfy everyone on here

but you can roll with this one for now since you half way into it but we need to sit down and think about the next time you want to run one of these before you start anything new..

What? How am I supposed to have 'bitched'? I've not done anything of the sort, just asked a question.

oops that one fell out of context...  :embarr

"followed rules and didnt bitch like yourself" as in

your the one that follows the rules and doesnt bitch about them... if everyone followed what you do we wouldn't be in such a mess with these things

I apologize, I intended no offense..

Maybe if video-less tourneys were allowed in the proper section, the kind of tourneys badnik wanted to host may become popular and legit?
