This is how it works: dual h.s.s, one v.s. and one d.s..

I have plans to make a 36-HS, VS ,DS hybrid.

As for me, I have an entry ready, but I'm not quite satisfied with it. Thankfully I have another 5 weeks to work on it.

I need to think of something.

NFX · « **Reply #24 on:** June 16, 2011, 03:38:02 PM »

I believe I should start prototyping again.

2.3 All bots must move via wheels, not via discs or other non-wheel components.

NOOOOOO!

NFX · « **Reply #27 on:** June 16, 2011, 03:48:59 PM »

Everyone else can do it. =] I also have quite a good idea for this, I reckon.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #28 on:** June 16, 2011, 03:56:54 PM »

I have mine done already :P

Enigm@ · « **Reply #29 on:** June 16, 2011, 04:00:34 PM »

I'll make mine nao I guess.

I might enter this, but I WON'T be able to submit my bot during the entry period. If I get it built in time, could I enter earlier?

G.K. · « **Reply #31 on:** June 16, 2011, 05:20:56 PM »

That's what SM's gonna have to do. I'm sure if you PM Click it'll be ok.

Noodle · « **Reply #32 on:** June 16, 2011, 05:24:50 PM »

I'm definitely entering this, I small track record as far as tourneys go.

No worries.

4.4 If you have a legitimate excuse why you can't send your bot during the official signup period, and you tell me BEFORE SIGNUPS OPEN, you can send your bot at a different time.

This goes for Squirrel_Monkey too.

Note this doesn't prohibit you from making a half-crawler.

I just don't want any pure crawlers because they would make the wheel rules complicated.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #36 on:** June 17, 2011, 01:48:15 AM »

What are the policies for unpowered wheels, will the loss of the last spare powered wheel allow for the unpowered wheel to be moved? Also, what if wheels are different, does this not matter? Lastly, should I inform you by PM about my absence or what?

Unpowered wheels won't count toward the number of spares you get, but I suppose if you want to spend 23 kgs on an axle mount and a shiny hub, you can move that wheel to a drive motor in case the drive wheel breaks.

If your bot has two different kinds of wheels, say 2 shinies and 2 grannies, you would get 1 spare shiny and 1 spare granny. If the wheels must be mismatched, they will be.

And PM is fine for requesting an alternate entry time.

Interesting. I am willing to enter, though I have the same problem as MNB. Can I send it in the following days ?

Also... that might be seen as a silly question, but by "popup" you mean "bot using burst motors to damage other bots while under them", right ? So both true popups and normal popups are banned ?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #39 on:** June 17, 2011, 07:23:32 AM »

Thats a good question.. no writing off a true pop up as a weaponed flipper? :P
