TBH, mabye you should stick around a bit more before starting a tourney, you're quite new here
No offence meant, just a suggestion

There are many more rules you need to cover, you haven't even told us wether its Stock or DSL :P

Post by: Conraaa on April 28, 2011, 01:22:56 PM: I think a slightly more original idea would be for every robot to need car steering, like a Rc car :P

Post by: cephalopod on April 28, 2011, 01:25:07 PM: Or just make cars with weapons on. That'd be cool.

Post by: Wolfsbane on April 28, 2011, 05:27:47 PM: do you think this is a majority vote, and we should keep it this way?

Post by: Resetti's Replicas on April 28, 2011, 05:38:27 PM: If "cars" wins (I didn't vote for it but if it does) here are some rules to consider adding. You've got to have strict design rules otherwise you'll get "cars" that are just Neglected Waterbug with some Lamborghini stickers:

-Must have 4 wheels and one pair of wheels on a car motor
-Body must resemble a car chassis
-Must have ground clearance of at least a speed bump (We can think of an RA2 equivalent later)

The idea came from an episode of Top Gear where they had the Stig do a lap in some kind of supercar, and then they wouldn't add it to the leaderboard because the car was too low to handle a speed bump

Post by: Wolfsbane on April 29, 2011, 02:28:21 PM: maybe the speed bump limit could be up to 1 1/2 on the measurement guilde on a 90 degree angle baseplate anchor
Title: Re: RC car recall
Post by: cephalopod on April 29, 2011, 04:34:15 PM: Ground clearance as an upside down baseplate anchor with a poly extender mounted on it using side AP?

I was thinking more along the lines of using an object in the Test Garage or one of the arenas. The Cinderblock is too tall, maybe there's something else?

Post by: Vertigo on May 05, 2011, 11:09:58 AM: Don't put car steering in the rules, its just too awkward to use
Title: Re: RC car recall
Post by: Resetti's Replicas on May 05, 2011, 05:56:14 PM: That's the point, otherwise it's just a generic pick-a-class torunament.
Title: Re: RC car recall
Post by: Wolfsbane on May 05, 2011, 06:08:28 PM: how about we make the speed bump limit having to make the ramps in the testing garage with minimal speed?
