Ugh, Mass'?

In my fight with Tabasco, you used a old version of Son Of Hurricane.

Y'know, just pointing that out.

What if the bot only flys after making impact with another bot?

Anyways, I'll most likely enter Hurricane 2 again. (In other words, not changing my entries. Except my SHW)

I'm being more strict for the next so no Hurricane 2. The MW is fine and I can't remember what the LW looked like.

The LW was basically a Backlash clone.

Two pieces of sheet metal couldn't hold up a bot like that.

Pythagora uses two sheets of metal to flip 700+KG bots and nobody has questioned the IRL aspect of that.

No offense Urjak. Congrats on the win BTW!

It's not about Pythagora. And the way I see it, the weight it says in RA2 /8 is the real weight. (800kg / 8 = 100kg)

Shield's point is legitimate. Big, skinny panels don't really work IRL in either application, but it's one of those compromises that generally has to be made for things to work in the game. Unless you want to make a rule that any flat panel that is used to lift/support a large amount of weight must have additional backing extenders, then it just makes more sense to take them as assumed and move on. In the case of Pythagora, if it were actually built like that, the plate would fold near the hinge on the first good flip and it'd be done, but you'd certainly not be able to call the bot unrealistic. I've pretty much always taken "large flat panel" to really be "large flat panel with some bracing on it, not shown because RA2 can't really do that well".
