My Tourney Ideas
« on: July 21, 2010, 02:35:54 PM »
OK:
-Unused components Tourney, only using unpopular DSL parts e.g. Omni extender
-Not Replica Wars, using parts from one DSL Replica only  and making it into a new MW.
-Damn, I've forgotten the other 2 ideas.


So any of these 2 worth pursuing further?
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

I was thinking only allowing certain components such and only Omni extenders as base plate anchors and Piglets for drive.

And only use certain weapons (e.g. Fire Axes) for weapons.

For the replica tourney...

1. Would everyone be able to use any replica, or will you make a list and as soon as one is picked, nobody else can take it.

2. Would we have to use ALL the parts from a replica or just use certain ones of them if we want to (Like external armor or that useless Chaos 2 stuff)
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

SM told me a bit about this:

1. One person only for each replica

2. No, only use parts you'd like to, but, batts and multiextenders excepted, they must be from the replica.
