Re: Limiting Drivetrain Motors

I do think robot damage is more of a game design problem the field was so open. When's the last time any robot could go anywhere at any time (excluding auto)?

I am however indifferent to a limit on drive train power or motor usage. The worst thing to do by far would be to reduce the limit on total allowed motors on the robot. Most of the innovations in robot design come from game specific systems, tank drive trains sporting 6cim inputs usually have few functional differences from 4cim drives.
