rookie teams would use 6-7 cims, and nothing else, because cims are the easiest motors in the KOP to use. veterain teams would use 6 cims (drive) and probobaly use the lighter, harder to use yet just as effective motors elsewhere.


teams are allowed to controll any number of tubes, but may only posses one.

(this came up after i suggested making a kit bot, with a very very large fan on it, 2 cim drive, 2 cim, 4 rs-775, 1 fp on the fan. the idea would be to wedge in between the wall and your mini bot tower, and fill you teams entire side of the arena, with any tubes unfortunate enough to be thrown.

Then we'd see teams building herder bots that could use nets or something like that to catch thrown tubes. We'd also see some robots with a tube case that their manipulator could grab tubes from.

What if robots had an unlimited weight value, but were forced to have a drive train based on their weight (eg. 120 lbs=omni-drive, 150 pounds=tank drive, etc.)

Some teams would pick the drive system that is to their strength and attempt to keep that weight. Some will make all drive systems and snap them into place on the robot depending on their weight. The rest might have a situation on their hands :ahh: .

Human Players may leave the driver station, but cannot throw tubes into play and cannot go over the half-way line of the field while outside of the driver station.
