Hello teams,

Shortly after the online broadcast had ended, "Steampunk" (Raanana, Israel) team, alongside with "Neat Team" (Rosh Ha Ain, Israel) built a model, with a small ratio, here are the results:

We are planning to build a full scale model, any suggestions for the materials we should use?

Thanks!

Nice model! Good job!

Could you let us know what materials you used?

I think to build a full-scale playfield you just need to use the list of parts in the game manual.

Awesome model! How long did it to you to make?

around 4-5 hours
(we started at about 2 a.m and finished at about 6:30 a.m)

as part of the strategy team I can say that that "board"
really helped us out
try making cards with diffrent stats that are "robot stats"
we did:
speed (low high)
pushing (how much can he shovel 1-5)
how much can he stock (5-10-0)
can he lift from the floor (Y\N)
can he pour the storaged balls (Y\N)
shooting ability (1-10/10s and from which range S\L short long)
power (weak strong)
add your own

now we made 20 diffrent bots from bot-1 that had the highest stats
to bot20 which was pretty bad...
however you can really learn some neat stuff about advantages and disadvantages of each bot (we made 80 paper balls for it, really tiny and marbles to)

just be sure to make ruls for the gameplay before you start
since it can be quite frustrating argueing about how many balls can I stock
in 10 seconds and if someone pushes another does he get a penalty?

we played in turns circulation 6 bots, all 6 turns were in the same 10 seconds
so you can cancel someone action by disrupting them

and thats it :D

made out of foam(compressed) I think
