A 6WD Middleweight? Good luck with that. =]



It's not difficult.

Also, it will be 1 on 1's, so no need to worry about anything like what Fracture described.
What if it's just the last part? :P

Darn, I forgot about this rule. Well, there goes my idea of chained drive motors...

Good thing I still have another idea for a devious creation. :evilsmile:
You can have moving parts as long as they're for the drive. :]

P.S. Chained drive motors can't get up to speed even if they go across an entire arena, much less the Clawtop or Flextop.

Wheels are the absolute ONLY thing allowed to move on your bot.

The motors aren't allowed to move because the wheels are the only things that can.

Bwah, it doesn't matter. My other idea was better.

What Kill means is : no moving parts other than drive. Actually pretty much nothing else than pushers and pure wedges.

But all in all, I think that my current prototype is a very good idea for this event so far.

Bursted wedges are allowed, but must remain static.

Added a poll to try and get an idea of how many entries I should accept.

Why would someone who didn't want to enter even come to the thread in the first place?

Is the wildcard going to be determined by a series of one-on-one battles as well? 'Cause I don't think a rumble would be that good of an indicator.

It's cool. Normally a Wildcard match is just a 4-way rumble, but sometimes it's like a mini tournament of its own. I just think that with a rumble in this scenario, once a machine pushes another off the platform, it'll drive off after it.
