Hmm, I'll have to see what people think aboot this.  I thought 1WDs were most common in sub-LW classes.

also are component skins alright?
sure

How about "no 1 wheel HS"?  That means 1 wheel pistonbots or whatever other wacky nonsense are still okay.  Yay or stupid?
Title: Re: Death-Defying Decemberween Demolition Derby
Post by: Reier on October 05, 2015, 09:09:25 PM
I really think 2wd should be minimum because giving up a wheel is basically just freeing up 30kg more of weapons. It's not hard to skirt around the controlled movement restriction with just 1 wheel. I mean it's your tournament but its a very slippery slope imo.
Title: Re: Death-Defying Decemberween Demolition Derby
Post by: Thrackerzod on October 06, 2015, 09:55:52 AM
Okay, since it seems like noone else has any opinions about the issue, I've added a "no 1 wheeled bots" rule.
Title: Re: Death-Defying Decemberween Demolition Derby
Post by: Mr. AS on October 06, 2015, 10:12:05 AM
1WD is pretty borderline in LW and inconsequential in MW and HW, since a well-built popup can just slide underneath and hit the chassis in most cases. They're pretty OP in anything below LW though. I'm fine with it being banned in LW though.
