I'll try to throw together a multibot to get some variety.

so now heavyweight is 400 kg in ironforge ? i am confused

Yes, all the weight classes have been halved, but this is self enforced as the .exe can't be changed. All the components and chassis armour have been halved too.

Both my own and yug1tom's entries have been AIed.

yugitom · « **Reply #45 on:** July 21, 2014, 12:17:11 PM »

I'm glad my entry stood up to standard realism conditions.

Why 400kgs? I didn't see this mentioned before.

cephalopod · « **Reply #47 on:** July 21, 2014, 03:30:12 PM »

It came in with the 0.3 patch which was released yesterday. Check out the mod thread and 123 explains.

1. What actually happened

All components' weight have been cut in half. So the bot you build is exactly the same, just the number on screen is halved.

2. Why?

Because the havok engine functions a lot better at lower weight. Don't believe me? Download v0.3 and watch some AI battles to see the difference.

Oh, ok, so if I download the patch, I can still use the same bot. That's good news.

The only thing you have to change is the chassis armour - the armour values have been halved too but the armour is saved in the bot file so needs to be overwritten.

EDIT: Playzooki and Tommy accepted. Thanks for the entries guys :)

My bot is ready to go, but since you have unlimited slots, I'm waiting to submit in case I want to make last-second changes.
