also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**
Sounds good to me, just as long as you make it perfectly clear what qualifies as a fast robot.
Alternatively, you could set a minimum "speed" value that must be achieved, where speed = motor torque x wheel grip.

Stock/DSL tournament where you can only use one of each component (excluding batteries and extenders)

Hi guys,I have been thinking of a few tournament ideas that I thought might be a fun little twist on the game – apologies if these have been suggested before.1) Super Middleweight Melee (Working title)Standard Stock competition with the main gimmick being that the weight limit would be capped at an unofficial “Super Middleweight” level of 600kg.2) Pencil Pushers (Working title)An idea I had inspired by Robot Arena 1. We assign each component a monetary value and give everyone say $1000 to spend on whatever they can come up with. Some further thoughts:- Weight could play a role, so for example the first 400kg you build with are free, but for every 50kg over that it could cost $50 (or similar). - Armour could also play a role so for example plastic might be free, but DSA could cost $200, steel $150 etc.- Components would be valued based on their effectiveness with the most expensive components being HP Zteks, Iron Spikes, SnapperII’s etc. while the samurai sword, servos, sledge hammer head etc would be cheaper. Due to the complexity of valuing each part, I think this would have to be agreed beforehand (maybe on here?) and the rules would have a pricelist for competitors to work with. Due to the extra components in DSL I think this would work better as a stock contest also.3) Budget Bots (Working title)A breakaway from the above, where competitors are given a much smaller budget to spend on making a robot, similar rules as above.What does everyone think?
