SnS, wouldn't be that fancy, and I believe would be technically legal?

SnS is what I would call a "Level 2" AI

Rammer/ Omni/ Spinner, etc I consider "Level 1"

Came up with an idea for the wildcard rumble. I was thinking of simply running it numerous times until a single bot had won it three times. That might be a better judge of which bot should get into the main bracket.


For once the mods did something right

Indeed- I've also had some time to prepare some prototypes. Although, are any piston-powered ramplates or shovels allowed? One of my designs features a Spawn of Scutter-esque flipping mechanism driven by a piston.

Nothing kinetic other than wheels for the last time.

The catch: No bot is allowed kinetic parts other than its drive! Wheels are the absolute ONLY thing allowed to move on your bot. Also, no components from the "Weapons" tab are allowed! Bursted wedges are allowed, but must remain static.
EDIT: Too slow
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

OK- just wanted to be sure. The one with the piston was mainly just an experimental design anyway- all of my other ones use static components.

Everything is to be static except the drive. That's the deal. I think I've come up with a prototype, though. =]

If you're going to do a wildcard rumble, and someone enters a multibot into the wildcard rumble. What happens then?

I did try a design like that myself to begin with.

Mine's basically a classic wedge design with a primarily small wedge/ramplate-based wedge, with a shovel at the top for trapping opponents and pushing them around.

Only one part of the multibot will be allowed in the rumble as per normal standards. If you want a multibot you better be ready to submit the minute signups open.

I think he means plow. Wierd thing is, that's almost exactly what my first design was. Then I discovered a critical flaw with it. And swapped it for something more interesting.

Yeah, I was kidding. :P

imo for this you can focus on either good wedges, trapping power, drive, or getting points (i.e. ramplates); possibly more than one. ATM my prototype looks like Mehve and Rabid Pit Bull mashed together. (has RPB's top plow and Mehve's front plows)
