This has probably already been asked, but can you stack batteries?

Count me in!

@ Inf - Since it uses the realistic rule, I'm going to have to say no.

Could we use the same bot for KoTH and Deathmatch?

Gigafrost · « **Reply #44 on:** October 01, 2008, 08:36:38 AM »

If you want. But I would HIGHLY prohibit it. All the tournaments will have shuffled competitors, so you never know who you're up against.

UPDATE: New Banner is created. Look at my sig.

I will send this banner to ACAMS ASAP.

Banner=:-D
I kind of liked the old sig with the green guy too though.

I'll give it a go, count me in

Giga i know what i'm going to use.

But still have several questions on teh modulable bot:

-Can we change the direction of skirt hinges and the things attached to them, whatever they are? (example, swapping a weapon rack with a plow)

-Can we change wheels on motors attached to the baseplate (i don't think so), or all the drive train if he's attached to extenders/hinges?

I'm thinking of a wedge with Techno Destructo/Magmotor drive, and one or two pistons.

Honestly I have no idea how this tournament works.

System32 · « **Reply #52 on:** October 02, 2008, 10:23:10 AM »

It's just three in one.

You make three bots for each.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #53 on:** October 02, 2008, 11:05:32 AM »

Think of it like this.

You have a basic bot with connection points built in. No weapons.

You use that as a template for re-building your bot to suit the following tournaments. Kind of like the bot TORNADO did when he faced his opponents. It was the same bot but with changeable weapons.

@Nar- Skirts? Of course, they go into the same category as extenders. As for your motor question. Wheels can be changed. Motors cannot.

I also want to put my site up but im waiting for ACAMS to send me the ftp information again... I think I lost my address and passoword when I cleaned my inbox.

The pic crashes my Internet Explorer.

System32 · « **Reply #55 on:** October 02, 2008, 04:24:12 PM »

What if the control board is added to an extender?

Gigafrost · « **Reply #56 on:** October 02, 2008, 04:58:10 PM »

@ Somebody - I don't know what is wrong with your browser. Worked on mine...

@ System32 - Why would you do that? The Control board itself cannot be moved.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #57 on:** October 02, 2008, 05:49:02 PM »

I willz enter.

That was the smartest thing i've ever seen you post.

The rules suit me perfectly. I built the first version of my tabletop competitor and it OWNS, threw Grog once OOTA in 5 seconds on the claw top, (and the KotH one too but he's not as good)

Are you going to use the unmodded claw top, Giga?

Gigafrost · « **Reply #59 on:** October 03, 2008, 10:24:18 AM »

I will... But I will indeed mod it myself. If time allows.
